Since 1996, RQC, LLC. has been a leading player in Southern California's robust commercial and governmental Design-Build economy. We now have a national presence with current projects spanning coast to coast.

Headquartered in beautiful Carlsbad, CA, we are a full-service Design-Build company. We offer management of projects throughout the United States, with our field operations' team members who work on location for each of our projects. We specialize in fast-track projects in new commercial construction for both public and private clients, with a primary focus in the Department of Defense market.

We are looking for Construction Project Engineer (PE) candidates to join our Field Operations team in Southern CA. While our headquarters is located in Carlsbad, CA, project assignments could be in various locations throughout Southern CA. Our PE's provide support for all assigned activities and phases of a commercial construction project from conceptual development to final completion, usually through administrating, organizing, planning, scheduling, coordinating, and monitoring processes. On large projects, certain project management responsibilities may be delegated to the PE in accordance with one's level of experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics. Local candidates will be considered, though relocation to on-site project management will be required for the PE position. Our PE's work on site with a variety of other construction management personnel, including, but not limited to Project Managers, Superintendents, Quality Control Manager, and Site Safety and Health Officers.

If you are looking for a place to start your career in the design/build world, then consider joining our team to help build amazing structures for our military men and women. Work locations are on active military bases throughout Southern CA. Competitive pay ranges, depending on experience, from $65K-$100K (annually).

  • CPR, First Aid, and OSHA 30-hour Certifications required. Training can be provided.
