About the role

Zephyr Rail is seeking an Assistant Resident Engineer to support the administration of complex rail and transit contracts. You will blend field inspections with office-based contract administration, ensuring compliance with specifications and proper documentation. This role offers a clear path toward Resident Engineer responsibilities on multi-million-dollar projects. You will review contractor work, prepare change orders, and help resolve contract issues while maintaining progress pay estimates

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.
