About the company:

This privately owned consulting firm is changing the way construction disputes and advisory work are handled across the U.S. With a team of over 50 professionals and consistent growth, they are known for technical expertise, practical guidance, and a collaborative culture. The founder is focused on building a people-first organization that gives experts room to lead and innovate, without private equity pressures.

What you'll be doing:

Leading and growing the engineering/architectural practice in Denver
Overseeing forensic investigations, defect evaluations, and technical expert work
Preparing and reviewing expert reports, analyses, and litigation support documents
Collaborating closely with the disputes team on integrated matters
Building and maintaining client relationships with law firms, contractors, insurers, and owners
Recruiting, mentoring, and developing technical staff as the practice expands
Ensuring technical accuracy, quality, and integrity in all work
Contributing to firmwide strategy as part of a growing national practice
What we're looking for:

PE, RA, or GC license required
Background in engineering, architecture, or construction management
Extensive experience in construction defect litigation, forensic analysis, expert reporting, or testimony
Strong knowledge of building systems, design, and construction methods
Proven leadership experience in growing teams, mentoring staff, or building a practice
Ability to manage client relationships, develop new business, and deliver high-quality expert work
More reasons to apply:

Lead a regional practice with rare autonomy and the chance to shape its growth
Join a founder-led, privately held firm with a long-term focus on people, quality, and culture
Work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment where technical experts and disputes specialists partner seamlessly
Work with approachable leadership in a culture that values balance, flexibility, and trust
