Why This Role Stands Out
- Direct access to senior leadership and principal engineers from day one
- Real ownership over projects, client relationships, and business development
- Exposure to project financials and firm operations - ideal for someone building toward a principal-level career
- Collaborative, tight-knit team culture with meaningful accountability at every level
Compensation
- Competitive salary plus performance-based bonus
- 401(k) with employer match, medical/dental/vision, generous PTO, and professional development support
