Job Description

We are a well-established general contracting company operating primarily across the Bay Area and Butte County regions, including cities such as Concord, Hayward, and Chico, CA. With a strong focus on delivering high-quality, community-driven developments, our company specializes in ground-up and rehabilitation construction projects within the multi-family residential and commercial sectors. Our portfolio includes a wide range of projects such as affordable housing developments and hotel facilities, emphasizing sustainable building practices and meticulous project management. We pride ourselves on fostering a dynamic and supportive work environment that encourages continuous professional growth and values collaboration, innovation, and dedication to excellence in every project undertaken.

We are currently seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Project Engineer to join our team. This role offers a significant opportunity for individuals passionate about construction to engage in diverse projects that shape the communities where we work.
