Project Engineer 3

Omega Technical Services•Los Alamos, NM

About The Position

Omega Technical Services is seeking a highly motivated Project Engineer 3 to support ongoing operations in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The role supervises engineering activity across disciplines for a project or designated project portions, plans and directs engineering assignments, and interprets, organizes, executes, and coordinates technical work. The engineer serves as the accountable engineering point of contact for assigned scope and leads combined Project Engineer and Field Engineer functions in a security-sensitive infrastructure environment. The position coordinates multidisciplinary security and infrastructure design, field execution, technical changes, document control, cost and progress tracking, quality, risk, and stakeholder interfaces. It also supports commissioning, turnover, closeout, and records completion to ensure a compliant transition of finished work to the customer. The work schedule is dependent upon customer site discretion.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
Must be a U.S. citizen.
Must obtain satisfactory pre-employment screening results, including a drug and breath alcohol test and a Motor Vehicle Record check.
Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Security Clearance.
10 or more years of project engineering experience focused on commercial infrastructure, civil works, or high-security or government-adjacent facilities.
Hands-on proficiency with ProjectSight or an equivalent project-management tool, Delta or an equivalent cost/financial-tracking tool, Aproove or an equivalent proofing/design-review tool, and Microsoft Office.
Exceptional attention to detail regarding physical-layout compliance, document control, and communication under tight project deadlines.
Ability to make sound technical decisions, coordinate diverse stakeholders, manage technical risk, and communicate clear, timely engineering direction.

Nice To Haves

Active DOE or DoD clearance within the past two years.
Previous DOE/NNSA work experience.
Experience leading work through design, field execution, turnover, and closeout in a high-consequence, security-sensitive, or nuclear-facility environment.

Responsibilities

Coordinate security and infrastructure design interfaces, including MEP, structural, network architectures, and physical and electronic security subsystems.
Use Aproove or equivalent tools to manage collaborative proofing and review of security layouts, structures, communications, site work, construction drawings, schematics, and design iterations.
Conduct constructability reviews focused on high-security requirements, physical barriers, access-control layouts, and critical utility routing.
Develop engineering solutions that support infrastructure longevity and physical security while meeting project budgets and contract requirements.
Lead combined Project Engineer and Field Engineer functions and serve as the accountable engineering point of contact for assigned scope.
Integrate design work across civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, network, security, and facility-system interfaces.
Coordinate engineering with designers of record, construction subcontractors, facility operations, safety, security, quality, and other stakeholders.
Manage engineering changes and technical resolution processes, including Field Change Requests, Design Revision Notices, Requests for Information, nonconformance dispositions, design clarifications, constructability reviews, and field-change evaluations.
Manage job-site technical document control, submittals, and RFIs using ProjectSight or equivalent tools.
Perform cost engineering and progress tracking using Delta or equivalent tools, evaluate subcontractor change orders, manage cost projections, and maintain commercial compliance.
Resolve complex field conflicts while ensuring infrastructure changes preserve security design intent.
Track scheduling milestones using Microsoft Office tools and optimize sequencing for high-security component handoffs and site testing.
Conduct routine field inspections and enforce quality-control metrics to verify installations meet structural specifications and security classifications.
Mentor and guide junior engineers on-site in infrastructure delivery and security compliance.
Evaluate design outputs and construction activities for code compliance, quality requirements, configuration management, safety interfaces, security impacts, and applicable engineering procedures.
Identify technical, schedule, construction, and interface risks; develop resolution paths; and elevate matters requiring management or stakeholder decisions.
Maintain project-level visibility of engineering deliverables, reviews, approvals, commitments, and critical-path actions.
Support commissioning, turnover, closeout, and records completion for a compliant transition of completed work to the customer.
