• Provide engineering support during project execution, including submittal review, scope clarification, and field issue support as needed
• Support client-facing discussions, proposal development, and early-stage solution development

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering preferred; Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Energy, or related discipline strongly preferred
• Experience supporting energy, utility, industrial, infrastructure, MEP, renewable, or EPC/design-build projects
• Strong ability to read and interpret single-line diagrams, engineering drawings, technical specifications, and construction documents
• Experience with project design, scope development, front-end engineering, estimating support, or project development
• Prior experience in project management, construction support, owner’s rep, EPC coordination, or technical business development is a plus
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across engineering, operations, field, and client stakeholders
