Project Engineer RX3 Communications, Inc.

• Reno, Nevada (hybrid) About RX3 RX3 Communications is a federal design-build contractor. We deliver fire alarm, mass notification, electrical and telecommunications systems for the Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Defense Logistics Agency and other federal agencies. We are a small team, HUBZone-certified and ISO 9001-certified, with more than 16 years of federal work. We manage design and construction through trusted subcontractors, so our people spend their time running projects. We also have a growing Zoom partner business. The role The Project Engineer keeps our projects moving. You track every open item, follow up until it is closed, and support the Project Manager with the coordination and paperwork that federal construction demands. Outbound phone calls are a core part of this job, not an occasional task. You will call subcontractors, suppliers and customers every week, including people who don't know us yet. This is a hybrid position based in our Reno, Nevada office, in the office two to three days a week. You report to the Project Manager. What you'll do Own the open-items list on each project: requests for information, submittals, Government comments and subcontractor questions. Chase each one until it is closed, and flag anything stuck before it becomes a problem. Keep submittal registers, request-for-information logs and project files current, so anyone can pick up a project and know where it stands. Prepare routine correspondence with Government representatives and subcontractors under the Project Manager's direction. Support monthly schedule updates, progress invoices and closeout documents using RX3's AI-assisted project tools. Find and qualify subcontractors and suppliers by phone, set up coordination meetings, and track the action items that come out of them. Route subcontracts and change paperwork for signature and keep subcontract files complete. Coordinate telecommunications circuit orders and provisioning with carriers and Government customers. Make outbound calls for our Zoom partner business: follow-ups, renewals and qualifying new leads. Attend preconstruction, progress and inspection meetings in person or online, and write and send the minutes. What you bring Two or more years as a project engineer, project coordinator or assistant project manager in construction. Working knowledge of drawings, specifications, submittals, requests for information and schedules. You must be very comfortable making outbound phone calls, including cold calls, every week. You would rather make the call than send a third email.

You work on your own:

you set your own follow-up rhythm, close loops without being reminded, and raise problems early. Clear, concise writing for emails and meeting notes. Strong Microsoft 365 skills (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams) and willingness to work in AI-assisted tools. You live within commuting distance of Reno and can be in the office two to three days a week. We give strong preference to candidates who live in a HUBZone; you can check your address on the SBA HUBZone map at maps.certify.sba.gov/hubzone/map.
