Our client is looking to add a Construction Project Engineer to their team for a project located in Pasenda CA. This is a 6 month contract opportunity.
The Construction Project Engineer will drive the final stages of a state-of-the-art Quantum Physics laboratory at Caltech.

- Documentation: Log all findings into Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) with clear descriptions, photos, and locations.
