Denver, CO | High-Performance & Sustainable Building Design

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join an established engineering practice that has built its reputation around high-performance, sustainable and technically ambitious building design.

• Participate in project interviews, presentations and business development activities
• Represent the firm with clients, industry partners and at professional events
• Mentor, coach and develop junior and mid-level engineers
• Support the development of electrical design standards, tools and internal processes
• Contribute to improving technical quality and project delivery across the practice
