Project Engineer – Esteemed General Contractor (Junior Military Officer Highly Preferred)
A nationally recognized real estate investment and development firm is seeking high-performing military Veterans to join its construction leadership team as Project Engineers. This is a rare opportunity to get hands-on with large-scale development projects across the U.S. while receiving structured mentorship and career progression.
This company provides innovation, sustainability, and precision to deliver high-impact developments across the U.S. and select international markets. They maintain a culture of excellence and collaboration, with a deep appreciation for disciplined leadership and mission-driven execution. They are guided by core values of integrity, character, courage, respect, excellence, and teamwork – principles that shape the culture and align closely with the mindset of military Veterans.
This role is built for leaders who want to translate military success into real-world construction impact. You’ll support complex industrial and infrastructure builds, develop deep technical knowledge, and be groomed to take on Project Manager responsibilities within 1–4 years.
We’re particularly focused on Junior Officers (O-1 to O-3) combat arms branches who are humble, gritty, and ready to dive into a career where leadership, problem-solving, and ownership truly matter. Both transitioning and already transitioned Veterans who are keenly interested in a career in construction will be considered! Whether in project execution, client service, or cross-functional collaboration, a Veteran’s experience translates directly into impact here. No construction experience is required!
