About The Position

Founded in 1996, RQC, LLC has built a strong reputation as a key contributor to Southern California's commercial and government Design-Build construction industry. Based in Carlsbad, California, we operate as a full-service Design-Build firm, delivering projects across the United States through dedicated field teams assigned to each jobsite. Our core strength lies in executing accelerated, ground-up commercial construction projects for both public and private sector clients, with a primary emphasis on Department of Defense work. We are currently seeking Construction Project Engineers (PE) and Senior Project Engineers to join our Field Operations team across Southern California. Although our corporate office is based in Carlsbad, California project assignments may take place at various job sites throughout the region. In this role, Project Engineers assist with all stages of commercial construction projects, from early planning and design through project closeout. Responsibilities typically include supporting project administration, coordinating schedules, organizing workflows, tracking progress, and ensuring effective communication among team members. On larger projects, Project Engineers may take on additional project management duties depending on their experience, skill set, and overall capabilities.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to build a career in the Design-Build construction industry while contributing to projects that support U.S. military personnel. All work is performed on active military installations throughout Southern California.
