About the Company

My client is part of the core delivery team on a multi-billion-dollar federal program at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard—one of Hawai‘i’s most consequential infrastructure efforts in decades. This multi-year project involves complex deep foundations, shoring systems, dewatering operations, marine concrete, and high-risk heavy civil work.

Engineers on this team gain career-defining experience in a highly technical, highly coordinated environment where precision, safety, and documentation are essential.

About the Role

They are hiring a Project Engineer to support field operations across deep foundations and heavy civil scopes. This role is heavily involved in pile driving, excavation support, temporary works, dewatering, and major marine concrete placements, with daily interaction alongside superintendents, foremen, engineers, inspectors, and NAVFAC representatives.

+ Work directly with Superintendents to resolve field conflicts, verify installation methods, and maintain crew productivity.

+ Support safety, environmental, and quality control procedures in challenging marine conditions.

+ Communicate actively with inspectors, consultants, testing agencies, and internal project controls teams.

Role Expectations

+ Maintain a strong presence in the field—this is a boots-on-the-ground engineering role.

+ Anticipate constructability challenges with soil conditions, pile refusal, dewatering, shoring, and marine operations.

+ Keep documentation tight and timely—federal work depends on accuracy.

+ Support sequencing decisions that directly impact production efficiency and schedule.
