• Join a growing, tight-knit team, and an established industry leader
• Great opportunity to make an impact on your community
• Enjoy an attractive annual salary of $100K-$125K+, plus generous benefits!

You are a senior engineer who has mastered the technical side of the profession and is now asking a different question:

“Where can I actually lead, influence outcomes, and build something that lasts?”

Qualimet is offering an opportunity for the right individual to grow into firm leadership and eventual ownership stake, not just hold another senior title. This role is intentionally structured for someone who wants to move from senior practitioner to practice leader and partner.

You will receive a starting salary of $100K-$125K+, negotiable based on skills, knowledge, and experience, plus the following benefits:

• Extended Health and Dental benefits
• Critical Illness Insurance
• Life Insurance and AD&D
• Long Term Disability
• Three weeks of vacation to start

This is not a static senior engineering position. It is a career-defining opportunity.

In this role, you will gain:

• Direct access to ownership and meaningful involvement in firm-level decision-making
• A clear transition path from senior engineer to operational and practice leadership
• The opportunity to influence how work is delivered, how people are developed, and how the firm grows
• Exposure to business development, financial performance, and strategic planning
• A genuine pathway toward partnership for someone who demonstrates leadership capability, values alignment, and long-term commitment

If you are looking for responsibility with influence, this role is built for that.
