You'll also lend your structural expertise to restoration and rehabilitation projects that draw on Sense's deep national experience, and coordinate with our structural leaders in other offices to maintain consistent service delivery. You thrive in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, bring hands-on experience across all phases of project development, and pair technical depth with a client-focused approach.
