Build Your Career. Take Ownership. Make an Impact.

HHI Corporation is looking for an experienced, motivated Construction Project Engineer / Assistant Project Manager who is ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact on our Utah construction team.

If you know your way around construction drawings and specifications, have hands-on experience managing change orders and submittals, and enjoy keeping projects moving, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a position where you'll simply push paperwork. You'll work directly with senior project leadership, take ownership of important project responsibilities, solve real construction challenges, and play an active role in delivering complex federal, commercial, and industrial construction projects.

We're looking for someone with 2–5 years of relevant construction experience who is confident in their abilities, takes initiative, and can independently manage assigned responsibilities.

If you're an experienced Project Engineer ready for more responsibility or an Assistant Project Manager looking to take the next step in your career, this could be the opportunity for you.
