Description

GCA is proud to be partnering with AGC of Colorado and the Construction Mastery Institute to provide Project Engineer Bootcamp, Units 1, 2 and 3!

Project Engineers (PE) are critical to the success of the project.  You've heard the statement that "information is power".  Well, the PE typically controls and has the most information about the entire project putting them in a powerful position.

Project Engineers (PEs) play a pivotal role in the success of construction projects, with many being recent graduates or interns. This Bootcamp bridges the gap left by higher education and targets interns or Project Engineers in the early stages of their construction careers, including those with up to seven years of experience. It is also advantageous for craft leaders or administrative personnel aspiring to become Project Engineers. The Bootcamp is conducted by seasoned constructors and instructors eager to impart their work experiences and nurture the next generation of construction leaders.
