Principals & Associates

What is the opportunity?

We are purpose-led and passion-fueled consulting engineers and design for a sustainable future. Our story began with a group of like-minded colleagues who were dissatisfied with the status quo - silos and hierarchies that stifled progress and engagement. We knew that there was a better way to be a consulting engineering firm. Our "One Company" approach was the answer by removing geographic boundaries to behave as a single entity: sharing knowledge, successes, and challenges as one. This philosophy allows us to the right people to every job, regardless of location.

Entuitive is an employee-owned firm, and we are looking for an individual to join as a full-time member of the Principal Senior Associate and Associate (P&A) group.
