Who is Chinook?

Chinook Systems, Inc. is a leader in delivering lifecycle energy security solutions to mission critical government and commercial facility Owners. We specialize in the engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations of intelligent, cyber secure, code compliant, and energy efficient building systems. Our solutions save millions of dollars in utility costs, reduce harmful emissions to the environment, and mitigate cyber‐attacks on facilities. Chinook provides motivated candidates with the opportunity to join a fast‐growing, innovative, entrepreneurial, and collaborative work environment.

The Work

As a Project Engineer, you will report to the Design-Build Line of Business Manager and play a critical role in supporting the successful delivery of construction projects by serving as a vital link between the field and office operations.

• Help monitor construction progress and assist in resolving issues that may arise.
• Support safety compliance and help enforce job site safety standards.
• Maintain organized workflows and apply effective problem-solving strategies to ensure efficient operations.
