Project Engineer II

Job DetailsJob Location: Trade31 - Cincinnati, OH 45206BUILDER WANTED. Project Engineer II

Not just a Project Engineer II. A Builder.

You build relationships. You build momentum. You build confidence from the first budget through final delivery. Most importantly, you take ownership—of the details, the decisions, and the results that turn opportunities into successful projects.

At Trade31, we’re looking for a Project Manager who enjoys solving problems, bringing people together, and seeing a project through from start to finish. You’ll work across estimating, planning, execution, and closeout while building strong relationships with clients, partners, subcontractors, and field teams along the way.

A Legacy of Building Careers

At Trade31, we’re proud to carry forward a legacy of quality craftsmanship and integrity.

For us, exceptional work starts with exceptional people who share our values and our commitment to excellence. We know our employees are more than professionals—they’re individuals with families, passions, and full lives outside of work. That’s why we emphasize balance, supporting both professional success and personal fulfillment.

Our culture is built on celebrating victories together, encouraging growth, and leaving a lasting impact on our clients and communities. At Trade31, we’re not just constructing buildings—we’re building a legacy of quality, integrity, and purpose.

What You’ll Build

Support projects from early planning through closeout, assisting with estimating, coordination, and execution
Review plans and specifications to help develop budgets, scopes, and takeoffs
Assist with subcontractor bidding, scope coordination, and buyout processes
Track and manage submittals, RFIs, and project documentation
Help maintain project schedules and support budget tracking
Coordinate with industry professionals to keep work moving
Participate in project meetings and communicate updates across the team
Assist with procurement and tracking of materials and long-lead items
Support jobsite efforts, including site walks, issue resolution, and quality checks
Assist with project closeout and final documentation

QualificationsWhat You Bring

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or equivalent experience preferred
1-4 years of experience in construction project management or related role preferred, including co-op/internship experience
Experience working with project management software such as MS Project or Procore preferred
Excellent organizational and time management skills
Ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and specifications
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Experience with budgeting, cost estimation, and financial management
Ability to work effectively in a team environment
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make decisions under pressure

The Bottom Line

This role is for someone who wants more than a piece of the project. You’ll take ownership from pursuit through closeout, connect the office and field, build relationships that lead to future opportunities, and help ensure every project delivers for the client and Trade31.

We’re not looking for someone to simply manage tasks. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership, builds trust, solves problems, and sees the job through. If that sounds like you, let’s build something great together.
