• Background in CAD programs, architecture, GIS/survey coursework, or technical/hands-on hobbies (e.g., 3D printing, Arduino) preferred
• No strict degree requirement – associate’s degree or relevant experience is sufficient

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Hands-on experience and structured training in a high-growth engineering environment
• Opportunity to own projects from start to finish and develop technical and project management skills
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
