I applied online and then got a call from the Talent Acquisition team who then forwarded my resume to the hiring team. After that, I had a virtual interview with a Senior person on the team. It seemed to go well, and they mentioned they were urgently looking for a Project Engineer. I haven't heard back in weeks, and they aren't responding to my emails or phone calls.

Had a chat about my background in school with the construction manager and a project manager. They asked about my work ethic, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. They were really upfront about how demanding the role would be hours-wise, which I thought was good.
