  • Participate in internal project meetings, offering technical support as needed.
  • Stay current with industry trends and MEP engineering advancements.
  • Complete assigned work within project workplan timeframes.
  • Submit work for review by senior engineers before client delivery.
  • Primarily office-based with occasional project site visits requiring adherence to safety protocols and use of PPE.

Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities

  • Familiarity with Revit and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Basic understanding of engineering principles and building systems.
  • Reliable, accountable, and receptive to feedback.
  • Ability to follow directions and learn new concepts quickly.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Able to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Ability to sit/stand for extended periods, operate standard office equipment, and occasionally lift/move up to 25 lbs. Site visits may involve uneven surfaces, ladders, and varied weather conditions.

Education & Licensure
