Project Engineer Jobs in District of Columbia

A Project Engineer plays a crucial role in the engineering industry by managing all engineering and technical aspects of a project to ensure that all goals are met within the specified parameters. They are responsible for planning and designing project stages, coordinating with various teams, evaluating all project deliverables and ensuring safety protocols are maintained. They facilitate communication between different teams, provide technical guidance, and oversee any issues or changes in the project.
