In this role, you will manage restoration projects from initial assessment through construction, serving as a trusted technical advisor to clients throughout the project lifecycle. You'll perform building condition assessments, develop repair recommendations, coordinate design and construction activities, and help ensure restoration work improves the long-term performance, durability, and resilience of building enclosure systems. This position also provides opportunities to mentor junior staff, perform technical peer reviews, and build lasting client relationships.</div></div><div><div>
If you enjoy solving complex building enclosure challenges and delivering restoration solutions that extend the life and performance of existing buildings, we'd love to hear from you.</div></div><p>
</p><div><div><b>Please Note:</b> The internal title for this position is Consultant within our Existing Building department</div></div><p>
</p><p></p><div><div><b>Become an Employee-Owner</b></div></div><div><div>
One of the biggest advantages of working at Lerch Bates is that we are 100% employee-owned through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).</div></div><div><div>
Unlike many companies that offer only a salary and retirement plan, eligible employees receive company-funded ESOP shares at no cost to them as part of their long-term retirement benefits.</div></div><div><div>
As Lerch Bates grows, employee-owners share in the company's success. For many employees, the ESOP becomes one of the most valuable financial benefits of their career by helping build meaningful long-term wealth in addition to their salary and traditional 401(k).</div></div><div><div>
When you join Lerch Bates, you are not just building better buildings. You also have the opportunity to build your financial future alongside the company's success.</div></div><p>
