Senior Construction Project EngineerCrosslands
Crosslands Construction is seeking an experienced Senior Project Engineer to join our team in Englewood, Colorado. This role goes beyond traditional project coordination—the right candidate will serve as a working mentor to our existing Project Engineers, sharing hard-won knowledge of construction processes, documentation discipline, and proactive problem-solving as they execute day-to-day project responsibilities.
We are looking for someone who has mastered the fundamentals of commercial construction project engineering, takes pride in doing things the right way, and is energized by helping others grow. If you excel in the details, communicate clearly, and understand that a team performs best when everyone around you gets better, this opportunity is built for you.
In addition to carrying your own project responsibilities, you will work directly alongside our current Project Engineers on shared projects and workflows. Your day-to-day will include coaching and demonstrating best practices for:
• RFI and submittal management — organization, timing, and follow-through
• Document control and project-filing discipline
• Subcontractor coordination and scope management
• Reading and resolving drawing and specification conflicts before they hit the field
• Owner and design-team communication
• Change order and cost-reporting accuracy
• Closeout and turnover execution
This is not a training-only role—you will be an active project contributor. The mentorship is embedded in how you work, not set aside from it.
Project Execution
• Read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, contracts, and project documents with a high degree of accuracy.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change documentation, meeting minutes, and project correspondence from initiation through resolution.
• Review subcontractor and vendor submittals for compliance with project requirements.
• Maintain current drawing sets, specifications, logs, and project files according to company standards.
• Assist with subcontractor buyout, scope reviews, bid comparisons, and contract documentation.
• Coordinate material selections, procurement schedules, lead times, and deliveries.
• Support the preparation and review of change orders, purchase orders, pay applications, and cost reports.
• Attend owner, architect, contractor, and subcontractor meetings; prepare agendas, minutes, and follow-up items.
• Conduct site visits to review progress and document field conditions.
• Assist with quality-control inspections, punch lists, closeout documents, warranties, and turnover requirements.
• Identify document conflicts, procurement gaps, and scope issues before they affect construction.
Mentorship and Team Development
• Model best-in-class project engineering habits for current Project Engineers through daily work.
• Guide junior PEs on RFI and submittal management, document control, and project-filing discipline.
• Review and provide constructive feedback on project documentation prepared by other team members.
• Share practical knowledge of subcontractor coordination, scope management, and change documentation.
• Help team members develop proactive habits for identifying risks before they reach the field.
• Support onboarding of new PEs by sharing established workflows, tools, and company standards.
• Participate in project debriefs and contribute insights that improve team-wide processes.
• Communicate openly with the project manager and superintendent about the team's development needs.
Communication and Coordination
• Communicate clearly and professionally with field personnel, subcontractors, vendors, clients, and design professionals.
• Maintain timely follow-up on open items, deadlines, and project concerns.
• Build positive working relationships with internal and external project partners.
• Represent Crosslands Construction with professionalism, accountability, and integrity.
- Two to three years of commercial construction experience, with a demonstrated record of ownership over project documentation and coordination.
- Experience handling RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and closeout independently—not just in a support role.
- Valid driver's license required; ability to travel to local project sites.
- Confident ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, schedules, and subcontractor scopes.
- Solid understanding of commercial construction methods, materials, sequencing, and terminology.
- Ability to maintain accurate, organized electronic and physical project files.
- Familiarity with scheduling, estimating, drawing-management, and document-control software preferred.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and related office tools.
- Proficiency with Procore or a comparable construction management platform.
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related field preferred.
Work Execution, Accountability, and Problem-Solving
• Maintaining accuracy when preparing, reviewing, and distributing project documents.
• Organizing project information according to company filing and naming standards.
• Managing multiple assignments, deadlines, and competing priorities without compromising quality.
• Taking full ownership of assigned responsibilities and following tasks through to completion.
• Proactively identifying document conflicts, missing information, and potential project risks.
• Asking the right questions before issues affect cost, schedule, or quality.
• Supporting the project team with a positive, dependable, and solutions-oriented approach.
Mentorship and Collaboration
• Coaching others through example—demonstrating the right way to manage documents, communicate, and coordinate.
• Offering feedback that is specific, constructive, and focused on building skills rather than just correcting mistakes.
• Recognizing when a team member needs guidance and creating space to provide it without slowing the project down.
• Contributing to a culture where questions are welcome and learning is continuous.
• Building trust with junior team members and field personnel through consistency and follow-through.
Communication and Professionalism
• Communicating clearly with field personnel, subcontractors, vendors, clients, and design professionals.
• Maintaining timely communication on open items, deadlines, and project concerns.
• Participating actively in project meetings and following up on assigned action items.
• Representing Crosslands Construction with professionalism, accountability, and integrity.
Crosslands Construction is committed to doing good work with good people. Our employees are given real opportunities to learn, take ownership, build meaningful relationships, and contribute to quality commercial construction projects. In this role, you'll do more than manage documents—you'll shape how the next generation of Crosslands project engineers thinks about the work.
