• Serve as a technical point of contact for internal teams, clients, and field personnel
• Oversee and coordinate subconsultants and multidisciplinary teams
• Conduct design reviews and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines
• Support field inspections, QA/QC programs, and construction activities
• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Contribute to proposals and help win exciting new projects

• You thrive in environments where you can own outcomes and solve complex problems
• You bring a balance of technical expertise and practical field insight
• You’re a collaborator and mentor, elevating those around you

• Proficiency with CAD tools
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in dynamic environments
• Excellent communication skills—able to work seamlessly with clients, crews, and internal teams
• Experience mentoring or guiding junior engineers is a plus

Why Join Us

• Gain hands-on field experience alongside design responsibilities
• Be part of a collaborative, growth-oriented engineering culture
• Competitive compensation and opportunities for career advancement
