  • 7+ years of professional experience.
  • Knowledge of building codes and architectural project deliverables.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, manage competing priorities, and deliver high-quality engineering packages under schedule constraints.

PREFERRED

  • Licensed architect in any U.S. state.
  • Mining, mineral processing, metallurgical, chemical, or heavy industrial facility experience.
  • Proficiency in 2D and/or 3D design software such as AutoCAD and Revit with knowledge of rendering tools being a bonus.

OUR CULTURE IS BUILT ON FOUR PRINCIPLES:

Everyone Gets Home Safe. We never put speed or cost ahead of people.

Extreme Ownership. We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions.

Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate. We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale.
