    Work Location

    This job requires your physical presence in Western Washington with preference for attendance at our Northgate Office a minimum of three days a week.

    Working Hours

    Work hours are flexible but need to be predictable and provide availability during core business hours. We perform some occasional overnight work for telecommunications projects but not often.

    Travel

    Many of our projects are local but some out of town travel is necessary for national clients to locations as far as Florida and Hawaii. Trips are generally limited to once per month. Travel time is compensated, and we don't typically travel nights or weekends.

    Here are some specific duties in this role:

    • Design HVAC systems for telecommunications facilities, data centers, and other commercial buildings.
    • Maintain strong, long term ongoing relationships with our Telecommunications Clients.
    • Manage mechanical equipment replacement projects and participate as part of multidiscipline design teams in larger complex commercial projects.
    • Mentor junior engineers and participate in our quality control process.
    • Manage a portfolio of projects beginning to end. This includes writing fee proposals, leading the design work, stamping the work, managing the client, construction administration, tracking project financial performance, invoicing, and project closeout.

    What's Different

    • Most of our projects are repeat work from long term Telecommunications Clients. We focus on both the technical project requirements and the continued relationship with the goal of continuing repeat work. We have been continuously supporting many regional Telecommunications buildings for over 20 years.
    • You'll work on several projects at a time with same client project manager, general contractor, and a stable of MEP subcontractors. These teams have a level of coordination and trust not often found in commercial construction.
    • You will engage in projects beginning to end from the cost estimate thru design, specifications, construction, commissioning, and closeout. We often perform our own mechanical commissioning.
    • You'll be joining an established mechanical design team based in various locations in the Pacific Northwest. Our team in Seattle is growing. We have a role for you mentoring and training new staff and we are looking for future leaders.
    • Our project managers have access to detailed real time project accounting information necessary to manage their projects.
    • You will have an opportunity to own company stock.
    • Our 50 person Seattle Office is part of a growing National 2800-person organization managed locally as a separate business unit. Our management structure is relatively flat with Principals actively engaged in projects. You will interact with and know the decision makers.
