The Façade Engineering Team is looking for enthusiastic candidates to join us in either beautiful San Francisco, California or the Mile High City, Denver, Colorado for a Fall Co-op. We are a talented group of engineers and architects who specialize in building facades. For new construction projects, we help architects and owners design and construct durable and sustainable building envelopes. For existing buildings, we investigate and design repairs for building facade failures. We value technical growth, innovative spirit, work-life balance, and an environment which mentors and supports the development of our staff. We are seeking creative and ambitious individuals who want to excel through challenging opportunities that will allow them to explore greater possibilities for their career. Our focus on our people, culture, and integrity allows us to make a difference for our clients and the communities we serve.
