This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional with a background in architecture or engineering to deepen their technical expertise in building envelope performance and forensic consulting while working closely with senior leadership on high-impact client engagements.
Key Responsibilities
Assist in the investigation, diagnosis, and resolution of facade, building envelope, watertightness, moisture, and mold-related issues for real estate clients. Support site visits, field investigations, and visual/physical assessments of building envelope conditions (facades, cladding, windows, roofing interfaces, etc.).
Review architectural, structural, and MEP/HVAC drawings and specifications to identify design or construction deficiencies contributing to moisture or envelope failures. Analyze building science data (e.g., moisture readings, thermal imaging, water testing results) and contribute to root-cause analysis.
- Prepare technical reports, findings summaries, and repair/remediation recommendations under the guidance of the Senior Managing Director.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including architects, structural engineers, HVAC engineers, and facade specialists.
- Communicate directly with clients to gather information, clarify issues, and present findings as needed.
Stay current on building codes, industry standards, and best practices related to building envelope design and moisture management. Manage multiple projects/tasks simultaneously, working independently with limited day-to-day supervision while keeping leadership informed of progress and issues.
Qualifications & Requirements

Degree in Architecture, Structural Engineering, Mechanical/HVAC Engineering, or a related field. Engineer-in-Training (EIT) status preferred.
- Genuine interest in building envelope performance, watertightness, moisture control, and mold-related issues in real estate.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, client-ready technical reports.
- Ability to work independently and manage priorities with limited supervision, while knowing when to escalate issues.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Willingness to travel for site visits/field investigations as required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Background as an architect, or as a facade/structural/HVAC engineer.
- Prior exposure to forensic/consulting engagements involving building envelope failures, water intrusion, or mold remediation.
