Position Overview

AG Solutions, LLC is seeking a highly motivated, organized, and adaptable Project Engineer to support multiple engineering, construction, and infrastructure projects.

We are looking for someone who is a quick learner, takes initiative, demonstrates strong leadership potential, and can manage multiple projects and competing priorities simultaneously.

The successful candidate will coordinate a small team of engineers, manage project schedules and deliverables, prepare competitive bid packages, assist with procurement, develop project estimates, and communicate directly with customers, vendors, subcontractors, and internal project teams.

This position requires someone with a strong technical foundation who can quickly understand unfamiliar projects, identify requirements, coordinate resources, and develop practical solutions.

The ideal candidate does not need to be an expert in every engineering discipline but must be resourceful, motivated, accountable, and capable of independently managing assignments.

This is a hands-on project engineering and coordination position, not solely an administrative role.
