This role is the engineering backbone for two of our Denver-area commercial properties, keeping mechanical systems, common areas, and building exteriors running at a standard tenants can build their business on. This is a lead role for someone who's as comfortable troubleshooting an HVAC fault or a lighting issue as they are training up the next Building Engineer on the team. You'll split your time between two sites in the Denver metro, which means variety, autonomy, and the trust that comes with being the go-to expert wherever you're needed that day.

On the commercial side, that means treating every building system as mission-critical to the tenants who depend on it — and every engineer as someone tenants and ownership alike can rely on.
