Building Envelope Expert - Investigative

Description

Martin/Martin, Inc. is looking for an Architect or Engineer to join the Building Enclosure team in our Lakewood, Colorado office. This position will focus on providing forensic investigation for litigation support of building enclosure projects. Work will include meeting with attorney clients, developing expert witness reports, and providing expert witness testimony as a building enclosure expert. Strong knowledge of building codes, construction standards and the ability to formulate appropriate conclusions to the conditions encountered during investigation are required skills. Candidates with testifying experience are encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will be required to manage and oversee field investigations, non-destructive testing, hygrothermal analysis, development of reports and repair documents, and construction administration services. Projects will necessitate a balance between in-office design time and on-site evaluation time. Our expert witness projects are typically located in the Rocky Mountain Region but can sometimes take us nationally, offering some opportunity to travel. The position will require interactions with clients, including lawyers, building owners, and contractors along with opportunities for marketing activities.
