About the role

Tectonic Engineering is seeking a full-time Resident Engineer to oversee public sector projects in New Jersey. The role requires field representation, coordination with contractors, and ensuring compliance with plans and specifications. Ideal candidates have NJ DOT RE experience, NICET IV or equivalent certification, and the ability to manage site activities, QA/QC, and safety while communicating with clients and staff.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
