Our integrated team gets to work together on a wide range of project types – building design, performance engineering, communications campaigns, branding, enrollment marketing, financial analysis, projections and planning – and we're proud of the impact that our work has on the lives and trajectories of students across the United States.

  • Create and maintain a positive relationship of trust with Clients regarding your area of expertise.

What type of knowledge do I need to succeed in this role?

 More than a specific degree and exact number of years of experience, we're most excited about what kind of knowledge you bring. For this role, we are seeking someone with senior knowledge who conceives and owns projects entirely, demonstrates knowledge of industry trends, and leads adoption of new approaches in their area.

  • Experience coordinating work with multidisciplinary project teams
  • Demonstrated understanding of the creation and interpretation of construction drawings and specifications, mechanical standards, regulations, and building codes
  • Ability to successfully prioritize work, manage multiple projects, and meet tight deadlines
  • Proficiency in MS Office suite, including Teams, Word, Excel and Outlook

  • Skill in the use of Autodesk Revit to produce mechanical design documents
  • Comfort with communicating professionally with internal and external customers across all levels of an organization
  • Demonstrated passion for the field of mechanical engineering and architectural engineering consulting field
  • Excellent communication skills

We might be a great match for each other if you are:
