• FE/EIT preferred
• LEED accreditation or interest is a plus
• Strong communication and teamwork skills

What You’ll Get in Return

You will join a stable, supportive firm that invests in its people and encourages long-term career growth. You can expect:

• Competitive salary with overtime pay
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Disability and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer contributions
• Profit sharing
• Tuition assistance
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Paid vacation, holidays, and personal time
