Senior Project Engineer- Roadway

Job Description Senior Project Engineer — Heavy Civil / FDOT Roadway & Bridge Orlando, FL · Full-Time · Direct Hire · Opportunity A confidential Florida heavy civil contractor is looking for a Senior Project Engineer to join the team on a major FDOT roadway and bridge infrastructure project in Orlando. This is a strong seat for a project engineer who has already been exposed to large civil work and is ready for more responsibility — RFIs, subcontractors, technical coordination, cost tracking, schedule support, quality, field coordination, and owner/EOR communication. The work is real infrastructure: FDOT roadway, bridge, CIP walls, MSE walls, sound walls, bridge approach and wing walls, technical details, construction sequencing, and major project execution. This is not a paperwork-only PE role. The company needs someone who can connect the technical side of the job with what is actually happening in the field. Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation This opportunity offers:

• A direct-hire role with an established Florida heavy civil contractor
• A seat on a $100M+ FDOT infrastructure project
• Exposure to roadway, bridge, CIP concrete, retaining walls, MSE walls, sound walls, and bridge approach work
• A step-up opportunity for a strong PE ready to operate at a senior level
• Competitive base compensation with project bonus opportunity
• Full benefits
• Relocation consideration for the right candidate
• A confidential process from first conversation through final steps

This is the kind of role that can sharpen a project engineer fast because the work is large, technical, and visible. What You’ll Be Driving The Senior Project Engineer will help manage the technical, commercial, and coordination side of a major FDOT civil infrastructure project. Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and support project meetings with owners, foremen, contractors, supervisors, and internal project teams
• Coordinate technical information between the project team, owner, Engineer of Record, subcontractors, and field leadership
• Manage RFIs and coordinate Non-Conformance Report resolution
• Review specifications, technical data, plans, shop drawings, and project details for contract and design conformance
• Coordinate CIP concrete wall work, including retaining walls, MSE walls, sound walls, bridge approach walls, and wing walls
• Support layout, reinforcing steel coordination, formwork, concrete placement, and curing activities
• Schedule and monitor construction activities on large-scale infrastructure work
• Identify conflicts, delays, and technical issues before they create field disruption
• Develop operational work plans and procedures with EOR and owner approval when required
• Estimate quantities, build bills of materials, and help maintain project budgets

• Negotiate and manage subcontractor contract terms and change orders
