Careers
Wanted: Team Players
Complex engineering projects succeed based on an essential element that isn’t easily quantified — the value of a highly effective team.
Solving even the simplest project challenge requires multiple skills, from critical thinking and technical knowhow to creative problem-solving and inspired innovation. No single engineer, designer or project manager can do it alone. It takes a team of positive, proactive players to set a clear direction for the project, motivate teammates to go above and beyond, and form powerful partnerships.
At Nexus, we’re always recruiting natural leaders who leverage their experience and the tools and training we provide to reach their full potential. They inspire their teams and clients to accomplish more together – smarter, faster and safer.
Why I chose Nexus
“When considering a career change, I looked at what my priorities were for the next phase of my career. Those priorities included growth potential, an energetic and exciting company culture, and the opportunity to grow and learn across a variety of industries. Nexus’s vision and culture fit all of those priorities very well.”
“I am becoming more aware of the gap between education and “real world” experience. There is just so much knowledge that school doesn’t teach you, so growing into a knowledgeable and responsible engineer at Nexus is rewarding on a daily basis!”
“Leadership has an eye for future leaders – who has the right curiosity and initiative. And even our most tenured are open to change based on input. They truly listen to ideas from new talent with different perspectives.”
“Several former co-workers recommended Nexus as a good place to work, plus an ownership that cared about its employees. It seemed to be the right size; not too big, not too small.”
“Nexus is a company that’s large enough to handle complex engineering projects, but small enough to be flexible with an entrepreneurial spirit.”
“The Nexus team is full of strong communicators, which means you get challenging projects, not challenging people.”

“With tuition reimbursement offered, Nexus supports my growth within this company and opens opportunities for advancement in my Nexus career.”
“We have amassed an excellent group of people that have really invested in Nexus as a company. They are a pleasure to work with and socialize with.”
“I’m proud that Nexus Engineering Group gives back to the communities in which we live and work and donates to worthy charities on a regular basis.”
A Different Approach to Engineering Challenges
What Nexus employees accomplish for our clients is extraordinary, but who they are and how they work enable us to think differently about our clients’ business. Whether seasoned professionals or ambitious new grads, our people marry IQ with EQ, translating Engineering into English to make sure all project stakeholders are informed, engaged and equipped to win.
We are a diverse group of quick thinkers who can adapt rapidly to changing environments. Team players who, at every level, are willing to roll up our sleeves to get things done. Self-starters who explore the latest methodologies and technologies, looking for any advantage we can share with our colleagues or leverage for our clients. We’re methodical and pragmatic, bringing in projects on time, on budget, and always with a commitment to safety.
Leveraging the Value of Experience
You can’t underestimate the value of experience. A career solving complex challenges hones engineering and project management skillsets, creating strong leaders with a high degree of technical acumen and, more importantly, the wisdom to steer through the unexpected. At Nexus, we believe it’s our responsibility to empower the next generation of industry leaders, and we know the only way to do that is with a seasoned team of professionals who want to teach those coming up behind them.
Mentoring Mindsets at Every Level
No matter your role, your role matters at Nexus. We collaborate closely across functions, and our veteran professionals have both a passion for sharing what they’ve learned with our newer team members, and an openness to new ideas. This combination of experienced perspectives and fresh ways of thinking ensures continuous improvement at every level, and the best possible work for our clients.
A Culture That Rewards Communication
Nexus has built an environment where employees continue to grow and thrive. That starts with solid relationships and mutual trust, both essential to highly-complex, high-stakes engineering projects.
Since we were founded, Nexus has emphasized open communication between leadership, employees and clients. It’s how we adhere to our core values and ensure success.
Immersive Internships for Young Professionals
We invest in the future of our industry by actively partnering with local universities to offer hands-on training and development through co-ops and internships. Our talented engineering students and recent graduates work within our project teams solving real-world engineering problems for Nexus clients. Interns develop their engineering competencies, but also the business knowledge, service-orientation and communications skills that give graduates an advantage when starting their career.

Designed to be Different
In 2005, Nexus Founding Partners Jeff Herzog and Marianne Corrao set out to change the way engineering firms serve their clients. While other firms focused on solving design problems and maximizing billable hours, Nexus built a talented team of consultants whose mission is to link today’s strategies to tomorrow’s competitive advantage by delivering extraordinary service and value through:
Owner-side Experience
Understanding how clients use our designs in the field helps us confidently identify and recommend the right solutions. As a team, we draw from our combined years of industry experience – and we’re always looking for talented engineers to join the team and add their experience to the mix.
The Art of Busineering
Every engineering relationship begins with the client’s business, not a design need. Busineering is the intersection of business and engineering. It represents how we approach each new partnership – by understanding our clients’ business, from its core values to its revenue goals. This business-first thinking inspires more creative design and more effective communication.
Empowering the Next Generation of Engineers, Designers and Project Management Pros
At Nexus, we’re building all-star teams by attracting and developing the next generation of talent. Our experienced professionals have a passion for sharing what they’ve learned delivering value on challenging projects, and junior team members and interns play an active role in supporting our clients every day. Because the best way to learn the job is to do the job… with industry veterans who know how to get results.
