Why This Team
Mentorship that matters — direct PE supervision means real technical guidance, not just sign-offs
Room to grow — clear path toward independent design ownership, EIT/PE milestones, and eventually leading your own scopes
Genuine cross-training — early exposure to structural and construction considerations most engineers don't see until much later
