Project Engineer Bootcamp - Units 1, 2, 3

Project Engineers (PEs) play a pivotal role in the success of construction projects, with many being recent graduates or interns. This Bootcamp bridges the gap left by higher education and targets interns or Project Engineers in the early stages of their construction careers, including those with up to five years of experience. It is also advantageous for craft leaders or administrative personnel aspiring to become Project Engineers. The Bootcamp is conducted by seasoned constructors and instructors eager to impart their work experiences and nurture the next generation of construction leaders.

Unit 1 - Mondays and Wednesdays, September 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 2:00PM to 4:30PM MT

Upon completion of Unit 1 students will have a clear understanding of how general contractors obtain work and become familiar with the terminology and processes necessary to acquire future work and the role of the PE in the process. Students will also review how construction documents and specifications are prepared so that they can efficiently visualize and interpret two dimensional drawings into three-dimensional reality. In addition to learning the differences between estimating and preconstruction, students will also learn the importance of document control, learn RFI best practices, acquire a knowledge of meeting strategies and taking meeting minutes, thoroughly understand the submittal process, and how important close-out activities are to the successful completion of a project.
