Full job description

Are you a recent Civil Engineering or Construction Management graduate looking to build your career in heavy civil construction?


We are hiring a Project Engineer to join our team and work alongside experienced Project Managers and Superintendents on some of Northern California's most challenging heavy civil and highway projects.


This isn't a role where you'll spend your days behind a desk. You'll be in the field learning how projects are built—from preconstruction through closeout—while developing the technical and leadership skills needed to become a Project Manager.


What You'll Do

  • Support project planning, scheduling, and field operations
  • Assist with RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project documentation
  • Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, and inspectors
  • Track production, quantities, and project costs
  • Participate in jobsite meetings, safety planning, and quality control
  • Gain exposure to industry-leading software including Bluebeam, HCSS HeavyBid, Vista, and Trimble Business Center


We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to read construction plans and specifications
  • Willingness to work on active construction sites and travel to project locations as needed
  • A proactive attitude and a desire to learn from experienced industry leaders


Why Goebel Construction?

  • Competitive salary: $75,000–$95,000
  • Structured mentorship from experienced construction leaders
  • Direct exposure to Caltrans and federally funded heavy civil projects
  • Clear career progression toward Project Manager and Senior Estimator
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
  • Vehicle allowance or company truck (project dependent)
  • Ongoing training, certifications, and professional development


If you're looking for a company that invests in developing the next generation of heavy civil construction leaders, we'd love to hear from you.
