When you join our team at Lithko Contracting, you are building your career alongside the leaders in concrete construction.

We apply our expertise across industries from industrial and manufacturing facilities to healthcare and educational institutions to chip plants and data centers. Annually, we place over 100 million square feet of concrete and earn over $2 billion in revenue.

With a nationwide presence of over 27 locations and more than 6,500 coworkers, you’ll find endless opportunities to develop your skills, grow your career, and build beyond expectations.

As a Project Engineer at Lithko, you will learn the fundamentals of concrete construction on the job site. Your dedicated manager and mentors are invested in your success as you build your knowledge and skills and work towards your next role. Our integration (training) p rogram empowers you to make an impact and quickly advance your career at Lithko. On average, PEs are promoted within 1 year of starting at Lithko.

Project Engineer Responsibilities

  • Actively utilize your resources, including managers and mentors, to understand the project scope and schedule and the plans for safety and quality.
  • Impact the project by developing plans to execute work objectives, track your progress, and replan based on feedback and performance.
  • Manage the daily safety, quality, and execution of your work objectives.
  • Learn through hands-on performance with our teams through the daily preparation plan and the project execution process.
  • Your specific duties will evolve as your skills and interests develop. Throughout your integration, you may be responsible for: estimating, field engineering (line and grade), forming walls and columns, inspections, loadout, place/finish, prep & forming of structural slabs, production tracking, quantity take-offs, slab on grade prep, slab on metal deck prep, onsite-safety and more!

Building Leaders

  • We are looking for people with a drive to excel.
    While hands-on construction experience is a plus, this is an entry-level role in concrete construction! The most successful PE candidates are action-oriented, collaborative, and ready to take advantage of growth opportunities at Lithko.
  • You’ll be joining a team that builds.
    Our job sites can have rough terrain and are operational during inclement weather (as long as it is safe). Your work hours may fluctuate based on the project activities. As an integral part of the team, you have a reliable method of getting to job sites daily and on time.
  • We build impressive structures.
    You will likely perform labor at elevation, sometimes at heights multiple stories above ground level. While on the job site, you may need to lift at least 50 pounds.
  • Safety is paramount.
    Your job offer will be contingent upon a successful drug test.

That’s why we have a team dedicated to hiring and developing Project Engineers as they build their careers in concrete construction. Your Campus Talent Specialist will guide you through the interview process and your integration.
