Position Summary
Most entry-level jobs hand you coffee and a spreadsheet. This one hands you a hard hat and a career. As an Entry-Level Commissioning Engineer at Campos Engineering, you’ll be thrown into the exciting world of MEP commissioning — where the buildings you see every day actually get put to the test. You’ll spend time in the office digging into drawings, specs, and test procedures, then head out to the field to witness massive HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems fire up for the first time and verify they actually work. You’ll be part of a team that is the last line of defense before a building hands over its keys — and that’s a responsibility that means something. If you’re a recent grad who’s hungry to learn, not afraid to get your boots dirty, and wants to see the real-world impact of your engineering degree from day one, Campos Engineering is where you start building something great.
