You’re comfortable navigating all stages of design - from early concepts to construction - with a focus on practical, buildable solutions.
You are proficient with industry‑standard tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, and electrical design/calculation software.
You thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments and are motivated by delivering work that improves communities.
