Hey all,
I also have been working in construction management my entire career and was having difficulty filling out the application when I found this article:
http://www.cizone.org/may_june_06/mj06_exam.html
"PE Exam Update
Model Rules for PE Experience Improved for Construction Engineering
The CI Construction Engineering Education Committee has been interacting with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) with the goal of improving the recognition of Construction Engineering in the professional engineering licensure process. As one result of these interactions, David Johnston, Chair of the CI committee was appointed as an external consultant to the NCEES Special Committee on Experience Evaluation. The Special Committee proposed revisions of experience evaluation that are contained in the revised Model Rules of NCEES, which can be downloaded from the NCEES website.
Johnston notes that NCEES was very receptive to the input of the CI Construction Engineering Education Committee. There have been two major changes which should be helpful to construction engineers in evaluation of their experience. Section 230.20.A.11 which previously was stated in the negative??Experience as a contractor in the execution of design by a professional engineer or in employment considered as that of supervising construction of such work may not be considered as creditable experience.??has been revised to read parallel to other experience evaluation statements??Experience in construction, to be creditable, must demonstrate the application of engineering principles.? Appendix A, Suggested Guidelines for Progressive Engineering Experience, lists work experiences that may be useful in guiding, mentoring, and verifying experience of engineer interns and/or intern applicants for the second exam. Most of the example experiences are attainable by engineers pursuing careers in construction, but must be adequately described by the applicant. Each state board determines its own evaluation procedures, but most use the Model Rules as a resource for this purpose."
and this guide:

which lists these qualifying activities:
Design of equipment fleet operations and productivity
Design of temporary support systems
Design of formwork systems
Design and optimization of project schedule
Economic analysis of construction equipment replacement and maintenance alternatives
Quality control
Materials testing and review of test results
Design of temporary works
Construction plant design
Review of shop drawings
Design and inspection of safety systems
Establishing and implementing horizontal and vertical control for location
Design, control, and safety of blasting operations
Design of tunneling systems
Design of safe demolition systems for constructed facilities
Estimating and budgeting construction costs
Review and processing change orders
Constructability reviews

This SHOULD work.
Hope this helps.
