Engineering Jobs in Willow Grove

Project Coordinator – Capital & Marine Infrastructure

Philadelphia, PA | PhilaPort

Build infrastructure that actually matters.

PhilaPort is seeking a Project Coordinator to support the planning and delivery of complex capital construction projects that keep the region’s maritime economy moving. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, construction management, and public-sector infrastructure, offering hands-on exposure to marine, environmental, and heavy civil projects that are rare in the private market.

If you’re a civil, environmental, or construction engineer looking to grow into large-scale infrastructure work — or deepen your experience in marine construction — this is a unique opportunity to work on projects with long-term regional impact.

What You’ll Do

As a Project Engineer, you’ll support multiple phases of construction projects, from early planning through close-out, working closely with internal teams, consultants, and contractors.

Key responsibilities include:

• Support project managers in developing and maintaining project schedules, budgets, and work plans for active construction projects
• Coordinate day-to-day project activities, tracking progress, resolving issues, and helping keep projects on schedule
• Review construction documents, drawings, and specifications to ensure accurate execution in the field
• Assist with contract administration, including RFIs, submittals, change orders, and scope documentation
• Participate in construction site visits to monitor progress, quality, and safety compliance
• Support cost tracking, estimating, and budget control throughout the project lifecycle
• Maintain project documentation using construction management and engineering software
• Collaborate across engineering, environmental, and operations teams to support permitting, compliance, and stakeholder coordination

What We’re Looking For- You must have your PE License or be ready to sit for the exam.

We’re intentionally casting a wide but qualified net and are open to candidates who bring strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn the marine side of the work.

Required / Core Qualifications

• Experience supporting construction or infrastructure projects in a project engineering or construction management role
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, drawings, and field coordination
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
• Comfort working in active construction environments and participating in site visits

Preferred (Not All Are Required)

• Background or interest in marine, environmental, or heavy civil construction
• Familiarity with regional permitting or public-sector infrastructure projects
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
• REQUIRED- PE license, EIT certification, or intent to sit for the PE exam within 6 months
• Experience with tools such as Procore, Bluebeam, Primavera P6, Civil 3D, or similar platforms (training can be provided)

Why This Role at PhilaPort

• Work on high-visibility, mission-critical infrastructure projects
• Gain exposure to marine and port engineering without needing prior specialization
• Stable public-sector environment with long-term capital planning
• Collaborative, team-based project delivery
• Opportunity to build a career in infrastructure that supports regional commerce and environmental stewardship

A Note to Candidates

If you meet most — but not all — of the qualifications, we still encourage you to apply. We value strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and a willingness to learn as much as prior marine experience.

In this role, you will report to the Site Manager and will work closely with the Avantor's Advanced Laboratory Services professionals to serve our customers by performing customized, mission-based lab work and research protocols that help return time back to science.
