Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager — Reno Division of a Silicon Valley Design-Build Leader
Reno, NV | Full-Time | $80,000 – $105,000 (DOE)
The Opportunity
Get big-league design-build experience without leaving Northern Nevada. Our client — a premier design-build general contractor with 350+ employees and a portfolio of Silicon Valley's most recognizable commercial and tech projects — is growing their Reno division and hiring an experienced Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager. This isn't a rigid, title-obsessed shop: they run a horizontal organization where team members flow to the projects they fit best and good ideas win regardless of level. Bring 2–5 years of GC experience and take on real responsibility fast.
Why You'll Love It
Design-build advantage: In-house design and self-perform teams mean you learn the whole building, not just the paperwork
Flat structure: Make decisions and own outcomes without five layers of approval
Ground-floor opportunity: A growing Reno division backed by a major Bay Area GC
Nevada advantage: No state income tax, Reno-Tahoe living
What You'll Do
Manage RFIs, submittals, and shop drawings; keep logs current and the field unblocked
Coordinate subcontractors and support buyout, scopes, and change orders
Maintain project documentation, meeting minutes, and document control
Support scheduling, procurement tracking, and long-lead management
Review drawings and specs; flag conflicts and constructability issues early
Assist with cost tracking, budgets, and pay applications
Support QC walks, punch lists, commissioning, and closeout
Work closely with superintendents and self-perform crews in the field
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related — or equivalent experience
2–5 years with a commercial general contractor as a PE or APM
Working knowledge of RFI/submittal workflows, subcontractor coordination, and cost basics
Proficiency in construction management software (Procore or similar), Bluebeam, and MS Office
Strong communication, organization, and a proactive, team-first mindset
