Are you passionate about delivering high-performance building enclosures that support energy efficiency, sustainability, and occupant comfort? Are you looking for a meaningful role where your technical skills in Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) make a measurable impact?

MBP is seeking a Building Enclosure Commissioning Specialist to support our expanding portfolio of BECx projects from early design through construction and into the warranty phase. We have already built a strong foundation with committed clients and a steady pipeline of opportunities, and now we're looking for a detail-oriented professional who excels at delivering high-quality work, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and solving problems in the field.

If you have three to ten years of experience in the design, analysis, or commissioning of commercial building enclosure systems and are looking to focus on meaningful technical execution on projects of significance, we want to hear from you.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Conducting reviews of drawings, specifications, and submittals to verify enclosure performance criteria are met.
• Developing project-specific BECx Plans and specifications.
• Performing site observations during construction to assess installation quality and documenting findings clearly and professionally, providing practical recommendations, and verifying corrective actions in the field.
