Our Values
Six core values guide how we work: commitments we make to each other. Our pace is set by a simple conviction: imperfect action beats perfect inaction, so we move with purpose, adapt without ego, and measure ourselves by progress rather than activity. Ownership travels with autonomy. Your name is on the work, and the best answer wins the conversation, wherever it lives. That candor works because of what surrounds it: people who show up with intention and have each other's back, tough on ideas and generous with people. Our customers feel this as reliability earned daily, every interaction treated as a chance to build something lasting. And underneath it all is why the work matters. The climate doesn't wait, and the stakes are also human: behind every checklist and every inspection is a person going home safely. We call it "This work has a heartbeat” — it's what the other five rest on.
The Construction Project Engineer will play a meaningful role in developing the EV charging infrastructure that powers the transition to electrified transport. Working closely with Senior Construction Project Managers, Project Managers, Development Managers, Real Estate and Utility teams, you will support site development campaigns and advanced development & construction activities across a portfolio of select sites. This includes permitting, utility interconnection, engineering and design, and construction contractor engagement.
You bring a foundational background in engineering, construction management, or site development — and you're eager to grow it.
