Early Career Plumbing Engineer

This Opportunity
Keep the internet running and the world working!
At kW Mission Critical Engineering, a part of WSP USA, that's exactly what we do.
Simply, data centers are buildings that store information technology. These mission-critical facilities must remain operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your role is to design the building infrastructure-power and cooling systems-to make sure that happens.
Be a part of an engineering team where from day one, you will collaborate and add value to every project. Gain invaluable experience early in your career. Not only will you be designing building systems, you'll interact with all internal mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and telecommunication engineers, external design partners like architects and structural engineers, and equipment vendors for the development of drawings and specifications. Then, travel to project locations during construction and watch your designs being built for some of the largest companies in the world.
Do you want to work on innovative, award-winning projects, travel and see your designs being built, and enjoy an occasional game of ping-pong, lunch and learn, or after-hours' camaraderie? Are you looking for career growth? Join our great people at our great places designing great projects.
