We foster an environment of mutual respect, integrity, and unconditional interest in the individual and collective success of our professionals. Our model and entrepreneurial mindset offer a rewarding, challenging, and highly flexible path. As a Sr. Controls Engineer, you will build a meaningful and fulfilling career with the support of professional development resources and mentorships including our First Year Experience program, Individual Development Plans, and Career Path resources and tools. You will be surrounded by exceptional talent who will support your development as both a world‑class engineer and a highly effective leader. Feel like you’re on the path to becoming a Sr. Controls Engineer but you’re not quite there yet? We’d love to connect with you to see if we can take you from where you are today and grow you into a Design Group Engineering Consultant! The approximate pay range for this position is $130K–$160K. Please note that the pay range provided is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting.
