About The Position
MSA is looking for a licensed Senior Project Engineer – MEP to support one of our long-standing architectural partners on impactful community-focused projects throughout Florida’s Gulf Coast, including Sarasota, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Orlando. In this role, you’ll step into a trusted relationship, helping deliver essential MEP services that shape public spaces and enhance the quality of life for local residents.
