THE OPPORTUNITY
Ready to grow your construction career with one of Florida's top builders? A leading heavy-civil contractor is hiring a Project Engineer for an active FDOT roadway project in the Naples area. This is a hands-on role with real mentorship, a strong backlog behind it, and clear room to move up — a great next step for an engineer who wants to build a career, not just fill a seat.
WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS ROLE
- Strong pay plus upside — $95,000 to $120,000 base plus bonus.
- A genuine growth path. Learn the business from senior project staff who invest in developing engineers, with a clear track toward Senior PE and beyond.
- Meaningful FDOT roadway work in one of Florida's most desirable markets.
- The stability of an established, well-funded contractor with a deep project pipeline.
- Direct-hire with full benefits — medical, retirement, PTO, and the backing of a top Florida builder.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Manage RFIs and submittals — keep information moving between designers, the owner, and subcontractors.
- Support the Superintendent in the field on material tracking, subcontractor scheduling, and daily sequencing.
- Help track quantities, pay estimates, and project costs.
- Review plans and specs to catch conflicts and constructability issues early.
- Keep documentation, daily reports, and records aligned to FDOT standards.
- Support scheduling, look-ahead planning, and change-order documentation.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 2+ years of project or field engineering in heavy-civil / heavy-highway construction.
- A heavy-civil / FDOT roadway background (or comparable DOT roadway experience).
- Working knowledge of RFIs, submittals, and field coordination.
- A degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field — or equivalent field experience.
- The ability to read civil construction plans and specifications.
NICE TO HAVE
- Direct FDOT project experience.
- Familiarity with Primavera P6, Bluebeam, or Microsoft Project.
- EIT certification or measurable progress toward a PE license.
