Job description

E2 Consulting Engineers, Inc. (E2) is a professional services firm established in 1988 specializing in a full spectrum of engineering services including, project engineering and design, federal base operations and infrastructure support services, gas pipeline construction and inspection services, environmental consulting and remediation, and information technology services. At E2, we value safety, innovation and collaboration, and we are dedicated to excellence.

Overview
The Project Engineer supports the Project Manager and construction teams by proactively reconciling field construction documentation, preparing accurate as-built packages, and closing out projects within client standards. This role requires strong initiative and persistence, especially when working on legacy projects where documentation gaps may require tracking down construction personnel, inspectors, and engineers to obtain missing information. The Project Engineer must understand technical drawings and field documentation, travel to project sites, and maintain accurate tracking of multiple active and legacy projects simultaneously.

Responsibilities

• Interpret construction drawings, redlines, and engineering documentation to produce accurate as-built records.
• Reconcile weld maps, MJRs, NDE reports, pressure test packages, and other compliance-related construction deliverables and documentation to confirm full traceability.
• Validate installed, tested, and scrap materials, quantities, and field changes for accuracy against design and construction records.
• Identify missing or incomplete documentation early and take proactive steps contacting construction crews, inspectors, foremen, and project teams to obtain required records.
• Organize, scan, and upload all project documentation into the client's record-keeping system (SAP, SharePoint, or equivalent).
• Attend stakeholder, engineering, and construction team meetings to provide updates on project status, documentation progress, and outstanding items.
• Work independently with strong initiative, while also collaborating effectively with project teams, field personnel, inspectors, and construction stakeholders.
• Visit project sites to verify conditions, confirm as-built details, and gather missing field information.
• Conduct field walkthroughs as needed to document final construction conditions, take measurements, or capture photos for reconciliation.
• Maintain a project tracker (Excel, Smartsheet, or equivalent) that clearly reflects status, outstanding items, closeout progress, and key deadlines.
• Track, log, and manage multiple projects ensuring all items move toward completion with no documentation gaps.
• Coordinate with engineering, construction management, inspectors, and PM staff to resolve discrepancies and complete deliverables.
• Support project budgeting tasks including labor-hour tracking, procurement documentation, invoice validation, and reconciliation of financial records.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering preferred; equivalent experience accepted.
• 3+ years of experience in gas utility, pipeline construction, or field engineering is strongly preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, construction documents, and redline markups.
• Experience working with field personnel, inspectors, and construction teams.
• Proactive communicator with the ability to track down information, close gaps, and follow tasks to completion.
• Strong organizational skills and experience managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Knowledge of SAP or similar enterprise systems is desirable.
• Must possess a valid driver's license and be able to travel to project sites in SoCal.
