Why this role stands out:

\n
• Meaningful responsibility early, not years of drafting
\n
• Direct access to firm leadership
\n
• Clear path toward project engineer, senior engineer, and management roles
\n
• Flexible and supportive team culture
\n
• Small-firm exposure to the full life of a project, from design through construction
\n

What we’re looking for:

\n
• 1-3 years of MEP or building systems experience
\n
• Mechanical or Architectural Engineering degree
\n
• Revit experience preferred
\n
• Strong communication and curiosity

If you’re looking for a place where you can do excellent work, grow professionally, and actually enjoy the people you work with, we’d love to talk.
