  • An adept multitasker: Comfortable juggling multiple projects simultaneously, you excel at organizing and prioritizing tasks independently. Your ability to navigate complex projects without guidance makes you a valuable asset to any team.
  • A team player with open communication: Hardworking and reliable, you are committed to maintaining transparent and open communication with your team. Your dependability fosters trust and confidence among your colleagues, contributing to a cohesive team dynamic.
  • Resilient and adaptable: You thrive in fast-paced environments and embrace challenges with enthusiasm rather than avoidance. Your resilience enables you to adapt to changing circumstances and emerging issues in fire protection engineering, ensuring project success and innovation.

At Design Works Engineering, we offer a career rather than a job. Supporting our team members to reach their full potential is at the heart of our business, and it is how we deliver superior value to our clients on each of our building projects.

Design Works Engineering is an equal opportunity employer. If you feel you are the right fit for this position, please apply confidently. Please let us know if you require any accommodation in the recruitment process.
