• Interpret data and apply engineering principles to develop practical, innovative solutions
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and project managers in a multi-disciplinary environment
• Perform quality control reviews to ensure technical accuracy and project excellence

• 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.
