Full Description

Join Kelley Construction, Inc. as a Construction Project Engineer and play a pivotal role in transforming Bowling Green, KY's skyline with innovative infrastructure projects. This position is crucial for driving project success, ensuring seamless execution, and contributing to our reputation for excellence in the construction industry. Your expertise will directly impact our ability to deliver high-quality facilities that meet client expectations and community needs, fostering long-term growth for the company. As a Project Engineer, your day-to-day involves coordinating all phases of construction projects, from initial planning and design review to on-site supervision and final handover. Daily tasks include reviewing blueprints, conducting site inspections, and resolving technical issues to keep projects on track. Weekly, you'll prepare progress reports, update schedules using tools like Primavera P6 or MS Project, and meet with subcontractors to align on deliverables. Monthly responsibilities encompass budget analysis, cost forecasting, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations such as OSHA standards. You'll collaborate closely with project managers, architects, engineers, and field crews, often leading small teams to troubleshoot delays or material shortages. Key deliverables include RFIs, submittals, and as-built drawings, with success measured by metrics like schedule adherence, cost variance under 5%, and zero safety incidents. Leadership duties may involve mentoring junior staff and facilitating stakeholder meetings to maintain clear communication. Candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field, with at least 3-5 years of progressive experience in construction project engineering. Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office Suite is essential, alongside hands-on knowledge of construction methodologies, building codes, and contract administration. Familiarity with LEED certification and sustainable building practices is highly preferred. Professional Engineer (PE) licensure or pursuit of it is required, along with a valid driver's license for site travel. Strong industry knowledge in commercial and facilities construction, including concrete work, steel erection, and MEP systems, sets top candidates apart. Success in this role demands a blend of technical prowess and interpersonal skills. Technically, you'll excel with BIM software, estimating tools like Procore, and data analysis for risk assessment. Soft skills such as exceptional communication for client presentations, problem-solving under pressure, and leadership to motivate teams are vital. Organizational competencies ensure multitasking across multiple projects, while adaptability to dynamic site conditions and a safety-first mindset align with our core values. Industry-specific abilities like value engineering and dispute resolution further enhance performance. Kelley Construction, Inc., headquartered in Bowling Green, KY, is a leader in facilities construction with a mission to build lasting structures that enrich communities. Our values of integrity, innovation, and teamwork define us, supported by a collaborative team structure featuring cross-functional departments.
