Black Ark Builders is a growing Boise/Meridian heavy civil contractor looking for a Project Engineer who understands construction and wants to be involved in the work - not buried in paperwork.

We work on Idaho heavy civil and infrastructure projects, including underground utilities, water/wastewater facilities, deep excavation, earthwork, concrete, and municipal construction.

We're looking for someone who can work closely with our Project Manager and field crews to keep projects organized, documented, and moving forward.

What You'll Do

Support active heavy civil construction projects from preconstruction through closeout
Prepare, track, and coordinate RFIs and submittals
Review plans, specifications, drawings, and project documents
Assist with change orders and project documentation
Support pay applications and progress tracking
Track quantities, materials, procurement, and project costs
Assist with project scheduling and look-ahead planning
Coordinate with vendors, subcontractors, owners, engineers, and field personnel
Maintain project records and closeout documentation
Help identify outstanding items and follow up until they're resolved
Work with field leadership to understand what's happening in the field and make sure the office side stays aligned

We're Looking For

Construction/project engineering experience
Strong understanding of how construction projects are actually built
Experience with RFIs, submittals, procurement, scheduling, quantities, change orders, or closeout
Ability to read and understand construction plans and specifications
Strong organization and follow-through
Clear communication with both office and field personnel
Ability to work independently and keep track of multiple moving parts
Heavy civil, underground utility, water/wastewater, excavation, concrete, or municipal construction experience preferred

Software

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

Procore
Bluebeam
Microsoft Project
Excel / Google Sheets
Other construction management or project-control software

Local Experience Preferred

This position is based in the Boise/Meridian, Idaho area.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are already working in the local Idaho construction market and understand the type of projects, contractors, subcontractors, and field conditions common to this area.

Candidates outside the Boise/Meridian area must be willing to relocate at their own expense.

Who We Want

We're not looking for someone who simply wants an office job.

We want a Project Engineer who is organized, proactive, construction-minded, and willing to get involved. Someone who sees an unanswered RFI, missing submittal, procurement issue, schedule item, or field question and follows it through rather than waiting to be told.

If you've worked on Idaho heavy civil projects and understand what it takes to keep a project moving, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply and tell us about your construction/project engineering experience and what makes you a strong fit for Black Ark Builders.

Benefits:

Flexible schedule
Paid time off
Professional development assistance

Work Location: In person
