Your Opportunity

The ideal candidate would be in our Boston office and would work independently on smaller projects, and as a team member on larger projects under the guidance of a senior engineer/designer. You would be responsible for evaluating, specifying, and engineering systems for projects. In this role you would also perform a variety of tasks which may include calculations and field work. You will have the opportunity to work on broad, varied, and diverse in scope projects in addition to analyzing these proposed projects to ensure structural reliability, resource efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

The Office Experience

Our Boston, MA office is located in the heart of Boston, steps away from Post Office Square, the Old State House, Downtown Crossing and Faneuil Hall. The office is a commuter’s dream, being only a 5-min walk from all subway lines (Red, Orange, Green, and Blue), and within easy walking distance from both North and South Stations. Office amenities include secure bike storage, a shower room, lockers, and employee lounge space looking over historic architectural buildings and features of downtown Boston.

Employees working here have access to flexible working spaces, including conference rooms, breakout rooms, open collaboration spaces, and many seating options with advanced AV to make hybrid meetings a breeze. With coffee shops and restaurants in all directions, the choices are never-ending for expanding your horizons. Take a walk during lunch to sit in the Boston Common, or to watch float planes and other aircraft take off near the Aquarium overlooking the Boston Harbor. The city is electric, full of events and things to experience, and that energy powers our office vibe.
