Project Manager/Senior Project Engineer - Construction
About The Position
ABOUT IBG Integrated Builders Group is a design-build commercial contractor with a strong and growing reputation across the western United States, from California to Texas. Since 2006, we’ve been trusted partners in complex commercial construction — driven by expertise, accountability, and a “Thrilled Client Commitment” to exceed client expectations at every stage. We are growing fast, and we want driven people to grow with us. Our team is nimble, accountable, and empowered. At IBG, you own your projects — from strategic planning and conception all the way through commissioning — with direct access to senior leadership and real influence over outcomes. THE ROLE We are looking for a senior-level Project Engineer with some experience as a Project Manager, to take full ownership of complex commercial construction projects from pre-construction through closeout. This is a journey-level role requiring mastery of both the engineering and operational sides of project delivery — plan reading, procurement, scheduling, budgeting, subcontractor management, and client communication all fall within your scope. You are a self-starter who exercises independent judgment, thrives with autonomy, and holds yourself to a high standard. You take pride in doing things the right way and never compromise on your commitments to clients or teammates.

- Professional-level proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, MS Project)
- Ability to read, interpret, and analyze complex construction plans and specifications with confidence
- Strong understanding of construction sequencing, cost control, scheduling, and safety processes
- Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable — you take full ownership and follow through
- A self-starter who exercises independent judgment and works effectively with minimal supervision
- A clear communicator — written and verbal — who keeps teams aligned and clients informed
- Collaborative by nature but accountable by default — you know how to lead without a title
- Uncompromising on ethics and client commitments; your word means something
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
