Position & Office Overview

As an Engineering Branch Manager, you are the type who is driven to succeed. You are a highly motivated star player who thrives on strategic thinking and putting ideas into motion. Every project shows both your technical expertise as well as your business savvy - and this is reflected in the strong growth of your branch. The junior and senior engineering staff look to you for mentoring both technically and in building client relationships. Your positive interactions with clients as well as business development skills contribute tremendously to the success of ECS.
