PROJECT ENGINEER

 

Location:  Bellefonte, PA (home office)

Employment Type:  Full-Time

Experience:  1–5 years of construction experience (industrial, heavy civil, or water/wastewater preferred)

Reports To:  Project Manager

Apply To:  resumes@mccrossin.com

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

G.M. McCrossin, Inc. is an AISC Certified Steel Erector and full-service general contractor based in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. For over 70 years, McCrossin has served the commercial and industrial construction markets throughout the Northeast, building a reputation on quality workmanship, competitive pricing, and reliable project delivery. Our project teams build the work we are best known for: water and wastewater treatment facilities, below-grade process structures, industrial plants, and institutional and campus construction. We self-perform concrete, structural steel erection, and process piping, which means our project engineers coordinate real McCrossin crews and production in the field rather than simply administering subcontracted work.

 

POSITION SUMMARY

The Project Engineer supports project management and field supervision on commercial, industrial, and municipal construction projects, from mobilization through closeout. You will manage submittals, RFIs, and subcontract documentation, coordinate material and shop drawing tracking, monitor schedule and cost information, and help ensure the work is built to plan, spec, and budget.

This role suits an engineer who wants to learn how projects actually get built in the field, not just administered from a desk. Project Engineers here work directly with project managers, superintendents, and self-perform crews, and grow into project management as they take on more responsibility.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Prepare, log, and track submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings; coordinate timely review and response with the design team.
  • Assist in developing and maintaining the project schedule, including milestones, subcontractor progress, and look-ahead planning.
  • Support subcontract and purchase order preparation, including scope review, buyout tracking, and change order documentation.
  • Coordinate material and equipment procurement and expediting to support the field schedule.
  • Review contract drawings and specifications to verify constructability, identify conflicts, and support field problem-solving.
  • Maintain daily reports, project photographs, and as-built documentation throughout construction.
  • Track project costs against budget, including labor, material, and subcontractor cost coding, in coordination with the project manager.
  • Assist with quality control and safety documentation, including inspections, testing logs, and non-conformance tracking.
  • Support field layout, quantity verification, and progress measurement for self-performed concrete, steel, and piping work.
  • Participate in owner, subcontractor, and internal progress meetings; prepare meeting minutes and action item logs.
  • Assist with project closeout, including punch lists, O&M manuals, warranties, and record documents.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, or a related field, or equivalent field experience.
  • One to five years of experience in commercial, industrial, or heavy civil construction (internships and co-ops count toward experience).
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple submittals, RFIs, and deadlines at once.
  • Working proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and project management/document control software (Sage, Procore, Bluebeam, or comparable).
  • Clear written and verbal communication with subcontractors, suppliers, owners, and design professionals.
  • Willingness to occasionally travel to projects as needed.

Preferred

  • Experience on water or wastewater treatment plant, pump station, or other below-grade process structure projects.
  • Familiarity with self-performed concrete formwork, reinforcing steel, structural steel erection, or process piping.
  • Exposure to scheduling software such as Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project.
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification.
  • Experience with public bidding, prevailing wage projects, and PennDOT or municipal authority work.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is primarily a Bellefonte home office-based position, with periodic time at active construction project sites. Standard schedule is Monday through Friday. This role requires the ability to walk active construction sites and wear required personal protective equipment.

For over 70 years, McCrossin has served the commercial and industrial construction markets throughout the Northeast, building a reputation on quality workmanship, competitive pricing, and reliable project delivery. Our estimating group prices the work we are best known for: water and wastewater treatment facilities, below-grade process structures, industrial plants, and institutional and campus construction. We self-perform concrete, structural steel erection, and process piping, which means our estimators price real McCrossin crews and production rates rather than assembling subcontractor numbers.

 

POSITION SUMMARY

The Project Estimator prepares complete, competitive bids for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects from initial drawing review through bid submission. You will perform quantity takeoffs, price self-performed and subcontracted scope, solicit and level supplier and subcontractor quotes, and assemble the final bid package.

This role suits an estimator who is comfortable owning a bid end to end and who would rather understand how a structure gets built than simply fill in a spreadsheet. Estimators here work directly with project managers and field superintendents and see the projects they price get built.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Perform detailed quantity takeoffs from structural, architectural, and mechanical process drawings — Division 03 concrete, Division 05 structural steel, and Division 40 process piping.
  • Review plans, specifications, addenda, and bid documents to establish full scope and identify gaps, conflicts, and exclusions before bid day.
  • Price self-performed work using company historical cost data, crew production rates, and recognized labor unit standards.
  • Solicit, log, and level subcontractor and supplier quotations; confirm scope coverage and negotiate pricing.
  • Build and maintain estimate workbooks in the company standard format, including detail, summary, and final bid recap sheets.
  • Prepare quantity and pricing summaries for management bid review, and clearly present assumptions, risks, and alternates.
  • Attend pre-bid meetings and site visits; document existing conditions and access constraints that affect cost.
  • Assemble and submit complete bid packages, including bid forms, bonds, and required certifications, on schedule.
  • Prepare and price change order proposals and value engineering alternatives on active projects.
  • Perform bid-to-budget handoff with project management, and participate in post-bid and post-job cost reviews to improve future pricing.
  • Maintain and improve estimating cost databases, assemblies, and historical unit costs.
  • Track bid opportunities and results, and help manage the bid calendar.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

  • Three to seven years of hands-on construction estimating experience with a general, mechanical, or heavy civil contractor.
  • Demonstrated ability to perform accurate quantity takeoffs directly from construction drawings.
  • Working proficiency with digital takeoff software (PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, Bluebeam, or comparable).
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including working comfortably in formula-driven estimate workbooks.
  • Solid understanding of CSI MasterFormat divisions, construction means and methods, and construction sequencing.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and identify scope requirements and exclusions.
  • Well organized and deadline-disciplined, with the judgment to keep multiple bids moving under firm due dates.
  • Clear written and verbal communication with subcontractors, suppliers, owners, and design professionals.

Preferred

  • Experience estimating water or wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, or other below-grade process structures.
  • Experience with self-performed concrete formwork, reinforcing steel, and cast-in-place placement.
  • Familiarity with structural steel takeoff and erection pricing, including connections and misc. metals.
  • Familiarity with process piping takeoff and MCAA labor units.
  • Degree in construction management, civil or architectural engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with public bidding, prevailing wage projects, and PennDOT or municipal authority work.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Mileage or vehicle allowance for site visits and pre-bid meetings

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is primarily an office-based position at our Bellefonte headquarters, with regular travel to project sites, pre-bid meetings, and owner or engineer offices, generally within Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. Standard schedule is Monday through Friday; extended hours are expected in the days leading up to major bid deadlines. Site visits require the ability to walk active construction sites and wear required personal protective equipment.
