About the Company

- Experience working in a design-build environment.
- Knowledge of Florida Building Codes and applicable industry standards.
- Experience with BIM workflows and multidisciplinary project coordination.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- The ideal candidate is someone who has spent their career within the MEP consulting industry and understands both the technical and project management aspects of engineering projects.
- They should be comfortable owning projects, coordinating multiple disciplines, communicating directly with clients, and making sound engineering decisions based on practical design experience.
- This individual should thrive in an environment where they will work on a wide variety of project types rather than being limited to a single market sector.
