Remote Senior Project Engineer | Nationwide | Build Systems That Scale Without Borders

Lead complex initiatives from concept to completion while working fully remote, orchestrating cross-functional teams that deliver on time and under budget. We combine disciplined engineering rigor with agile execution so you can drive outcomes from any coast or timezone. If you thrive where strategy meets structure and want a senior role that respects your autonomy while amplifying your impact, this remote opportunity is built for you.

About the Role

As a Remote Senior Project Engineer, you will own the lifecycle of high-visibility programs spanning product development, infrastructure upgrades, and operational rollouts. From early scoping and risk modeling through delivery and post-launch optimization, you will translate business goals into executable plans that balance innovation, compliance, and cost. You will partner with engineering leads, product owners, and external vendors to align technical roadmaps with strategic milestones, ensuring clarity and momentum even across distributed teams.

Working remotely does not mean working in isolation. You will facilitate structured ceremonies, document decisions with precision, and use data to remove bottlenecks before they stall progress. Whether refining build standards, validating vendor proposals, or guiding teams through regulatory constraints, you will apply systems thinking to deliver resilient solutions that scale. We value engineers who lead through influence, anticipate downstream effects, and turn ambiguity into actionable plans without sacrificing quality or safety.

Core Responsibilities

• Define project scope, objectives, and success metrics in collaboration with stakeholders and sponsors.
• Develop detailed schedules, budgets, and resource plans, integrating risk mitigation and contingency strategies.
• Oversee design reviews, change management, and compliance checkpoints to ensure standards are met.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery across engineering, operations, quality, and procurement teams.
• Track performance using KPIs and earned value methods, proactively communicating status and corrective actions.
• Lead remote problem-solving sessions, post-mortems, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor junior engineers and project coordinators, elevating team practices and documentation quality.
• Manage vendor relationships, RFPs, contracts, and performance SLAs to protect scope and timelines.

Requirements

We seek a disciplined engineer with a track record of delivering complex programs in regulated or technically demanding environments. You combine analytical rigor with strong communication skills, enabling you to align technical realities with business priorities across remote and hybrid settings. Your experience spans estimation, scheduling, and risk management, and you are comfortable making decisions with incomplete data while remaining accountable for outcomes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field; advanced degrees or certifications are a plus.
• Minimum of seven years in project engineering roles, with at least three years in a senior or lead capacity.
• Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end project lifecycles, including scope, schedule, budget, and quality controls.
• Proficiency with project management tools, scheduling software, and collaborative platforms used by remote teams.
• Strong understanding of risk management, change control, and compliance requirements relevant to your domain.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize technical details for diverse audiences.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a fully remote environment while maintaining alignment with global stakeholders.
• Proven ability to balance multiple priorities, adapt to shifting constraints, and deliver under tight deadlines.
