• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and designers
• Lead or support discipline teams or small multi-disciplinary teams

What You Bring

• Professional Engineer (PE) license in good standing
• Strong knowledge of federal, state, and local codes and regulations
• Experience with construction document production and engineering design software
• Proven ability to solve complex problems with innovative, practical solutions
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with clients, contractors, and team members
• Experience working on building systems and site-related projects

Note: Due to federal contract requirements, candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
