About The Position

ISI Professional Services is seeking an entry-level Office Engineer to provide technical and administrative support across project planning, design support, and construction management activities. This role is primarily responsible for maintaining project documentation, routing and tracking contractor submittals and Requests for Information (RFIs), supporting schedule and milestone tracking, and helping ensure project records are organized, current, and accessible across the team. The Office Engineer will support Government-led project execution by assisting with document flow, record management, reporting, meeting documentation, and coordination of project information across multiple stakeholders and workstreams. This position is best suited for an organized, detail-oriented professional who can manage high volumes of project documentation while maintaining accuracy, timeliness, and consistency. A key function of the role is supporting the review and routing of submittals, RFIs, and related project records using familiarity with CSI MasterFormat, UFGS divisions, drawings, specifications, and other construction documents to help direct materials to the appropriate technical reviewers. The Office Engineer will also support project schedules, shared folders, submittal logs, marked-up record sets, closeout documentation, and routine status reporting while assisting the Government with non-discretionary project support tasks. The role may support activities related to requirements development, site evaluations, draft scopes of work, cost estimate support, design reviews, submittal tracking, meeting coordination, inspections documentation, contractor schedule monitoring, progress reporting, and project closeout. This is a support role that contributes to project delivery through strong document control, coordination, and technical-administrative follow-through rather than independent decision-making authority.
