About The Position

We're driven by a passion for creating healthier spaces through cutting-edge air systems to enhance environments in schools, hospitals, labs, and beyond. That is the work. It is also the reason this seat exists. We are working toward being the contractor of choice for even the most complex jobs by 2035. That happens because we do it right, we finish the job, and we back what we build. Four values guide how we show up. Adapt and Conquer means change does not scare us. It fuels us. In this seat, that looks like staying sharp when a parameter shifts mid-design and finding the better way through. Bring the Heat means showing up fired up and creating the energy that pushes the job to the next level. In this seat, that is the person who keeps the model moving daily instead of in bursts near the deadline. Build Strong Relationships means we are here for the long haul, treating everyone with respect and building trust that stands the test of time. In this seat, that is how you handle the engineer of record, the client, and the trades you coordinate with. Own the Process, Own the Outcome means taking responsibility for every step. In this seat, that is a document set the shop and the field build straight from, with no open questions left behind. If that is a place you want to show up to, read on.
