  • Significant experience leading complex building design projects and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Professional Engineer (PE), Structural Engineer (SE), or Architect licensure.
  • Proven experience managing client relationships and developing new business.
  • Strong understanding of project financials, contracts, staffing, scheduling, and quality management.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop technical professionals and project leaders.
  • Strong communication, leadership, and relationship-building skills.
  • Experience in parking, functional design, or related building design markets is highly valued.
  • An established network of industry and client relationships in Atlanta or the Southeast would be a plus.
