At Arc Building Partners, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. We’re a collaborative team dedicated to building not only structures but also a positive, engaging workplace culture. Our mission goes beyond construction; we strive to create an environment where people enjoy coming to work and where our culture and core values drive everything we do.

We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented, and field-savvy Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Engineer to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for a construction professional looking to transition from field-based roles like Project Engineer or Field Engineer into Virtual Design and Construction.
