Position & Office Overview

As a Group Manager, you strive to lead both your team and your profits. You have extensive experience both out on the field as well as handling the "business" side of geotechnical engineering. Engineers, technicians, and project managers look to you for mentoring both technically and in building client relationships. You know how to set the bar high and not only achieve that goal yourself - but bring others along with you. You are extremely hard working and strive to ensure that your team delivers the best quality. You get the "big" picture and want to contribute accordingly - and that's why you'll have all the opportunity for career growth within our company you'll want.


Responsibilities

ECS is offering an exciting opportunity for a dynamic leader to join our Midwest Building Science & Infrastructure team in Detroit, MI. In this role, you'll oversee operations related to building enclosure investigations, assessments, commissioning, testing, and design consulting. You will work closely with clients and multidisciplinary project teams to evaluate building envelope performance, support construction quality, and deliver practical consulting solutions across a variety of facility types. If you have a strong technical background, proven leadership skills, and the drive to grow a department, we want to hear from you.


What You'll Do:

  • Develop, lead, and manage a team of engineers, architects and project managers, fostering professional growth and technical excellence
  • Oversee all operations related to Building Enclosure Consulting projects including investigations, assessments, commissioning, testing, and design consulting
  • Manage projects from inception to completion, including proposal preparation, technical report reviews, and departmental P&L performance
  • Drive business development by building and maintaining strong client relationships and leading marketing initiatives in this market sector
  • Partner with internal recruiting team to attract, hire, and retain top talent, ensuring the group remains staffed for success
Qualifications

Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Architecture (NCARB).
  • 12+ years of related experience in building enclosure consulting, including testing, commissioning (BECx), design review, or forensic assessments.
  • Licensed or certified in at least one of the following:
    • Professional Engineer (P.E.)
    • Registered Architect (R.A.)
    • IIBEC certifications (RRC, RWC, REWC, RBEC, CBECxP)
    • University of Wisconsin-Madison certifications (BECxP, CxA+BE)
Why Join ECS?
  • Nationwide Building Science & Infrastructure Consulting practice made up of more than 180 employees with deep technical expertise and opportunities for collaboration across the country
  • Opportunity to lead high-profile projects with technical complexity and visibility
  • Be part of a growing and innovative team focused on technical excellence and client service
  • Supportive work environment that values expertise, collaboration, and continuous learning
  • Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits
