As such we fully staff our projects to ensure normal work hours are maintained though the duration of the project. In addition, our approach is to open regional offices to keep employees within an hour or so of their projects. We do not require extensive travel, nor do we pick up and move locations after the project is complete. \nWharton-Smith has an extensive and secured backlog of work over the next five years. \nWharton-Smith focuses on promoting from within and provides opportunities to grow and achieve your career goals.\nWharton-Smith Self Performs:\nAs a self-performing general contractor, Wharton-Smith provides even greater value to our clients with the ability to pull from our highly skilled and trained in-house labor force. Our field crews self-perform site work, concrete, masonry, underground utilities, earthwork, piping, and mechanical equipment installations. By self-performing portions of the work, we offer our clients greater control of the schedule and budget while providing superior quality and increased safety. \nThis also allows Project Engineers to gain a more robust experience of the construction industry though direct control of the critical work activities.\nConstruction Management (at Risk):\nAlthough similar in many ways to the traditional general contracting delivery method, Construction Management (at Risk) often enables the contractor to have significant input during the design phase of the project. Working collaboratively with the design team and the owner, we can assist the owner in managing the overall planning, design, schedule, budget, and construction of the project. We operate under an open-book philosophy during the development of the GMP, delivering accurate updates on cost, value engineering, and schedule throughout the process.\nThis introduces project engineers to a collaborative approach to constructing projects in conjunction with the Owner and design engineers.\nDesign-Build:\nThis is a project delivery system where the owner contracts with a single entity to perform both design and construction under a single design-build contract. Contractually, design-build offers the owner a single point of responsibility for design and construction services ensuring total accountability and continuity for all parties involved. Owners often choose this delivery method when an accelerated construction delivery is required.\nThis provides project engineers the opportunity to develop preconstruction and value engineering experience while delivering high-quality projects in an expedited fashion.\nBenefits:\nWharton-Smith offers competitive compensation based on experience.\nMatching 401k, Medical, Dental and Vision insurance offered. \nPTO includes Vacation, Personal time, sick time, Bereavement and Holidays. \nTuition reimbursement, LinkedIn Learning, and other training materials available. \nEmployee appreciation events at major theme parks, recreation sports activities for all employees, and community outreach opportunities. \nEqual Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disability\nWharton-Smith provides equal opportunity to qualified disabled veterans, Pre-JVA special disabled veterans and individuals with disabilities to online application systems by making reasonable accommodation to ensure equal access for submitting to job openings. (i.e., wheelchair accessibility, website accessibility, etc).\n\nOur recruiting process is centralized and is handled by our HR Department. If we are sent unsolicited resumes from recruiters, we will not pay any recruiting fees. Unsolicited resumes are any resumes sent to us by a recruiter who has not been pre-approved by HR, has not signed our contract, and has not been requested by our HR Department to search for a specific position.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5852,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Sports activities","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T21:18:20Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-22T00:42:45Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":104167,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/whartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/whartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T10:22:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13638,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2344704},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2344704"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwhartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwhartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwhartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/whartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwhartonsmith-project-engineer-waterwastewater"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1629976}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"whartonsmith.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1629976},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
