About The Position

The Energy Solutions Construction Project Engineer (CPE) will be an on-site employee reporting directly to the Construction Manager. This role is critical for executing internal and contractual reporting, data logging, tracking, scheduling, and problem-solving on specific sites. Energy Solutions primarily builds power generation facilities using natural gas combustion engines, often integrating with other technologies like batteries, solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells, and gas turbines. Each project is unique in its time commitments, location, size, reporting structure, and responsibilities. The CPE will interact daily with various on-site entities including vendors, subcontractors, separate contractors, owners, and clients, and must be comfortable working with all parties. Teamwork within the Energy Solutions project team (Construction Manager, Project Manager, Site Manager, Lead Project Engineer, Application Engineers, QA/QC Specialist, Freight and Logistics Coordinator) is essential, with the majority of this team located in Casper, WY, serving as the CPE's main point of interface. During time off-site or between projects, the CPE will shift focus to pre-construction planning and design optimization with the home office in Casper, WY.
