Job description

WINT is a global water-technology company that uses AI-driven smart water meters to detect leaks, prevent water damage, and cut waste in commercial buildings. In this role, you'll support WINT's US region, which delivers systems across 60+ active projects in 20+ states, from new construction to live, occupied buildings. You'll work directly with the US Operations and Deployment team and collaborate regularly with colleagues across WINT's global organization. It's a fast-growing startup environment where you'll take on real responsibility from day one.

About the Role:

This role is based in Greater Pittsburgh, PA or Greater Austin, TX, and is primarily remote. You'll meet in person with the US Operations and Delivery Manager weekly or biweekly for project reviews, planning, and hands-on mentorship, on campus or at a convenient nearby workspace. You'll also join occasional local project and site visits to see installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting firsthand in commercial buildings. Candidates must be located in Greater Pittsburgh, PA or Greater Austin, TX.

What You'll Do:

• Project delivery: Support end-to-end delivery of WINT systems on enterprise construction projects and operating buildings, from kickoff through installation, commissioning, and technical sign-off, applying engineering and building-systems knowledge along the way.
• Field operations: Join local site visits and support remote field work to see how plumbing, electrical, and IoT systems come together in real buildings.
• Stakeholder coordination: Align timelines and expectations with project executives, engineers, general contractors, construction PMs, and installers so systems go live on schedule.
• Installation reviews: Review installations with engineers, plumbers, electricians, and other trades, using drawings, photos, and site data to confirm installs meet WINT standards.
• Troubleshooting: Help diagnose system issues, including connectivity, hardware, and installation errors, and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Field dispatch: Schedule and coordinate our nationwide network of field technicians for commissioning and service visits.
• Project financials: Track budgets, purchase orders, subcontractor invoices, and change orders.
• Data and reporting: Keep project records, documentation, and status current in our project management and CRM tools.
• Process improvement: Identify gaps and help build templates, checklists, and workflows that scale with our growth.

What You'll Learn:

• How MEP and plumbing systems work in large commercial buildings.
• Hands-on installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of smart-building systems.
• Real-world construction project management: schedules, submittals, trade coordination, and closeout.
• IoT and smart-water technology, from installation through data.
• How to manage a subcontractor and field-technician network across the country.
• What it's like to work in a global company with teams across multiple countries.

Required Qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in Mechanical, Civil, or Architectural Engineering, Construction Management, Building Systems, or a related program (non-engineering majors welcome).
• Able to commit to 80-100 hours per month (about 3 days a week) during the semester, including some weekday business hours.
• Located in Greater Pittsburgh, PA or Greater Austin, TX, and able to attend in-person meetings and occasional local site visits.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, hands-on approach.
• Organized and detail-oriented, able to keep several projects moving at once.
• Clear written and verbal communication with customers, field teams, and international colleagues.
• Comfortable learning to read construction and engineering drawings.
• Curiosity about building systems, construction, and smart-building technology, and a strong willingness to learn.

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to construction, MEP, plumbing, HVAC, or building systems.
• Experience with Excel, Google Sheets, Salesforce, or project management tools.
• Previous internship, engineering project, student organization, or other hands-on project experience.

Compensation $20/hour
