About the Opportunity:

Do you like problem-solving and opportunities to work outdoors while investigating unique buildings? Would you like to develop your hands-on knowledge of building enclosure systems, restore existing building facades, and understand how detailing affects overall performance, durability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort? If so, Walker has an exciting opportunity to cultivate your technical skills as a Building Envelope Specialist in the growing field of Building Enclosure Consulting and Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx).

In this role you will be working with an interdisciplinary team on various structures such as high rises, historic or vintage buildings, hospitals, offices, condominiums, schools, and higher-level education to diagnose and design repairs for enclosure issues such as water infiltration, condensation, air infiltration, deterioration of facades, and much more.

You will investigate existing conditions and configurations of cladding components and apply testing methods such as water testing, air leakage testing, and infrared thermography to identify root causes. For new construction projects, you will support Engineers, Architects, Owners, and Contractors by reviewing enclosure design details, specifications, submittals, mockups, and construction for continuity, constructability, and alignment with project performance requirements. You will also assist with Building Enclosure Commissioning activities from design through construction and occupancy, help prepare Construction Documents under the supervision of a Project Manager, and review implementation of the work through construction site visits and functional performance testing.
