The Project Engineer is an owner/operator team member responsible for maintaining the controls, records, visibility, and follow-through that keep Fleet’s data center projects organized and decision-ready.

- Stakeholder Follow-Up: Coordinate with contractors, consultants, vendors, and internal stakeholders on routine information needs and outstanding items, driving timely responses.
- Meeting Management: Capture meeting notes, record actions and owners, and follow up on assigned items.

- Turnover & Closeout Support: Track turnover requirements, commissioning readiness items, and closeout deliverables from the owner perspective.
Risk & Communication
- Early Escalation: Identify missing information, overdue commitments, and emerging issues, and escalate them early enough for action.

About this role
Fleet Data Centers is building mega-scale data center campuses and needs a Project Engineer to serve as the organizational backbone of its Medina project in the Austin area. You'd report to a Construction Manager or Sr. Construction Manager and own the owner-side controls, documentation, and follow-through that keep projects decision-ready—tracking decisions, RFIs, submittals, changes, and commitments to ensure nothing critical slips. This is fundamentally a role about accuracy, discipline, and disciplined follow-up: maintaining project records, surfacing risks early, coordinating with contractors and consultants, managing meeting notes and action items, and escalating blockers before they become problems.
The role suits someone with 0–4 years of construction, project engineering, or project controls experience who has strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and familiarity with Procore or similar project management systems. A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent hands-on experience is required; data center or mission-critical facilities experience is preferred but not essential. You'll need to be comfortable working on-site in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple workstreams, and communicating clearly across a diverse stakeholder group.
This is explicitly positioned as an entry point on Fleet's construction career ladder. Demonstrated independence and follow-through can position you for progression to Sr. Project Engineer. The contract role offers $85,000–$105,000 plus discretionary bonus, with comprehensive benefits including fully employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), paid holidays, and unlimited PTO.
