Doing this job remotely
Document control, submittals, scheduling and cost tracking can be done remotely, and some firms staff those functions off site. Most project engineer roles nevertheless involve regular presence at a job site or plant, so remote postings often mean hybrid or travel to project locations. Hours tend to follow the site's schedule and time zone.
Where it comes from and where it leads
This is a common first or second job for civil, mechanical and electrical engineering or construction management graduates. It leads to senior project engineer, project manager and, in construction, superintendent or project executive positions.
