What You Bring

  • Deep knowledge of critical power, cooling, heavy MEP coordination and commissioning
  • A track record of delivering large projects on time and on budget
  • A calm, approachable leadership style and clear communication with owners and teams alike
  • A degree in construction management, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience

What We Offer

  • Salary range of $150,000$200,000, plus bonus and benefits
