What To Expect
We are seeking a highly motivated Design Manager who has experience with closing permits out to join our energy infrastructure engineering team. In this hands-on role, you will own the complete closeout of all open permits through intensive field coordination, rigorous as-built capture, and precise updating of existing drawings. Your ultimate goal is to bring every project to full documentation accuracy and official permit closure, ensuring our manufacturing facilities remain compliant and operationally ready. You will thrive in a dynamic environment that demands strong cross-discipline collaboration and a scrappy, resourceful mindset—getting things done efficiently by rolling up your sleeves, removing obstacles, and driving results with limited hand-holding. Ideal candidate would be a hands-on, results-driven professional who takes pride in finishing what others leave open. You combine solid MEP or architectural knowledge with strong field presence, cross-functional collaboration skills, and a scrappy “get-it-done” attitude.
