About the Role

Coastal Drilling East, LLC is seeking a Senior Project Engineer to join our team in support of a major hydro dam construction program - the first of a series of planned hydro infrastructure projects. The position is geared toward the upfront project development phase, focusing on detailed planning, estimating, subcontractor procurement, activity work plans, and documentation management.

The Senior Project Engineer will serve as a key team member working closely with the Project Executive and Project Manager, ensuring project readiness and alignment before field mobilization. This role requires exceptional communication and writing skills, strong technical and organizational capabilities, and the ability to manage complex information streams across multiple stakeholders.

While the initial focus is on pre-construction and project setup, the position may evolve into an on-site engineering role as projects advance into the construction phase.
