Summer Consultants • Newark, DE

11d • Hybrid

About The Position

When you walk into a building do you immediately start analyzing it? Do you wonder about the heating, ventilating and air conditioning and plumbing systems? Well, so do we. We are looking for some passionate engineers (recent graduates with up to 3 years of experience) to join our team of folks who are curious about building systems. The bulk of our projects are renovations, frequently of only the MEP/FP systems, so it makes for some interesting and challenging projects. The fun of renovation work is dealing with the existing constraints imposed by the structure or building operations. We find ourselves regularly solving problems like how to make the equipment fit into an existing building or figuring out how the contractor will build your design. We are such great problem solvers that 95% of our clients would refer us to others. Clients choose us when they want the job done right the first time. We serve our clients' missions as if they were our own, whether supporting the warfighter or our nation's finest government and educational institutions. With our office located in the Mid-Atlantic Region, our interesting client list, and a focus on renovation, you will get to go into some interesting buildings, sometimes seeing history from the inside out. Check out our projects page for some examples of our work. Curious about building systems? Let’s see what we can do together! WHAT SUMMER CONSULTANTS CAN DO FOR YOU Teach you the ins and outs of the MEP/FP consulting industry. Provide hands-on experience with tools such as Revit, AutoCAD, and IESVE, or energy modeling software. Provide you with different projects – we have never had identical projects and we rarely have “typical” projects. Buildings are unique and so are their systems. Mentor you to become a well-rounded consulting engineer. Help you get your boots dirty learning from senior engineers in the field. Provide a fun, small, and exciting work environment. Provide a flexible work environment, including hybrid work options.
