Associate Principal - Multi- Disciplinary

About the Position The Associate Principal is a mid-level engineering role responsible for leading small- to mid-scale, multi-discipline projects with growing independence. You’ll guide projects from programming through closeout—clarifying requirements, coordinating design, documenting decisions, and ensuring deliverables meet TEECOM’s standards for quality and constructability. You’ll apply strong engineering judgment, maintain alignment with scope, schedule, and budget, and surface risks early to keep projects on track. You’ll strengthen TEECOM’s system by contributing to GitHub, documenting client-specific nuances, and improving standards, tools, and workflows. Externally, you’ll cultivate strong client relationships—building trust through clear communication, reliable follow-through, and thoughtful problem-solving. You’ll also begin developing credibility through thought-leadership activities by supporting pursuits, contributing technical narratives, participating in interviews, and helping develop content such as blogs, white papers, or presentations. Internally, you’ll mentor Designers and engineers through hands-on guidance, reviews, and feedback that strengthen discipline capability and reinforce TEECOM’s standards. While not a people manager, you’ll play a key role in developing TEECOM’s talent and reinforcing disciplined engineering practices. This position reflects strong engineering capability, reliable project leadership, and growing influence in shaping TEECOM’s systems, documentation, and delivery. Leadership, Mentorship, and Technical Influence As an Associate Principal, your impact comes not only from the quality of your own discipline work, but from how effectively you guide project teams, strengthen coordination, and support the growth of TEECOM’s engineers. You contribute in three key ways: Mentor and Support Engineers You strengthen project teams by guiding Designers and Associates, reinforcing disciplined design practices, clear documentation, and sound technical judgment. You contribute to TEECOM’s talent pipeline by serving as either a Mentor or a Mentee—helping grow others while also expanding your own capability. As a Mentor: You accelerate others’ growth by setting expectations, providing clear direction, and reinforcing disciplined, high-quality work. As a Mentee: You advance your own development by actively seeking feedback, applying guidance, and building readiness for larger scopes and leadership responsibilities. Contribute to Training and Knowledge You elevate team capability by actively engaging in design reviews, debriefs, and cross-discipline discussions that improve shared understanding and decision-making. You strengthen discipline consistency by offering insights and clarification that help teammates apply standards correctly and develop stronger engineering judgment. You support TEECOM’s learning culture by modeling disciplined documentation, fostering collaborative problem-solving, and shaping training resources that accelerate the growth of Designers and engineers. Improve the TEECOM System You reinforce firmwide consistency by applying standards reliably and maintaining clear, accurate discipline documentation that others can depend on. You strengthen workflows by identifying gaps in templates, tools, or processes and offering improvements—through constructive feedback and Pull Requests—that reduce rework and improve scalability. You enhance project predictability by sharing lessons learned, reinforcing best practices, and helping teams stay aligned and clear in their approach. What Success in this Position Looks Like You deliver accurate, well-coordinated discipline designs on mid- to large-size projects with increasing independence and reliable follow-through. You apply strong judgment—identifying risks early, resolving discipline conflicts, and supporting cross-discipline coordination. You maintain disciplined documentation across drawings, specifications, calculations, and decision logs, enabling predictable project delivery. You improve TEECOM’s system by providing actionable feedback, proposing workflow refinements, and submitting targeted Pull Requests. You communicate clearly with clients and design partners—documenting decisions, clarifying requirements, and keeping teams aligned. You mentor Designers, Associates, and production by providing guidance, markups, and timely feedback that strengthens their technical capability and documentation habits. You collaborate closely with Project Leads and Group Leads to maintain alignment on scope, sequencing, and coordination strategy. You support pursuits by contributing scope input, fee assumptions, and participating in interviews as needed. You actively participate in client relationship development through networking events and conferences, direct outreach to clients and partners, and sharing intel gathered through documented interactions. You deepen your discipline expertise through mentorship (as Mentor or Mentee), preparing for broader leadership responsibilities. You model TEECOM’s Core Values—Care, Trust, and Value—through clear communication, disciplined execution, and proactive problem-solving. Responsibilities and Expectations These responsibilities and expectations represent what is required to successfully perform the essential functions of this role. Annual and Quarterly Partner with Project Leads, Group Leads, and senior engineers to strengthen coordination strategy, discipline consistency, and delivery reliability across projects. Participate in performance assessments and demonstrate measurable growth in engineering judgment, project leadership, and system contribution. Lead technical design reviews that reinforce TEECOM standards, improve documentation clarity, and identify coordination risks early. Contribute to discipline standards, workflows, and tools through targeted Pull Requests and documented lessons learned. Strengthen team capability by mentoring Designers and
