• Demonstrated success collaborating with multidisciplinary project teams and engineering partners.

• Interest in complex building systems, technical problem-solving, and infrastructure-driven design.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to effectively participate in meetings with globally distributed teams.

• Enthusiasm for growing within a small, entrepreneurial environment where individual contributions make a meaningful impact.

The role offers daily interaction with engineering and MEP professionals, fostering real-time coordination and efficient problem-solving.

The culture is collaborative, entrepreneurial, and fast-paced, while also benefiting from the stability and resources of an established firm. Work schedules offer flexibility based on project demands and global coordination requirements rather than a traditional 9-to-5 structure. Team members are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas, and play a meaningful role in the successful delivery of complex data center and commercial projects.

Why Join Us?

• Work on high-profile data center projects with global reach.

• Collaborate closely with architecture, engineering, and MEP professionals.
