-   Ability to independently develop, review, and approve engineering designs
-   Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
-   Ability to collaborate effectively with architects and multidisciplinary engineering teams
-   **Hands-on engineering and design experience required**
-   Candidates whose experience is primarily project management without significant mechanical design experience will not be considered
