Construction Field Manager

Do you know how to turn a refrigerator into an air conditioner for an apartment?

If you love finding solutions to questions like this, we’d love to hear from you!

At Ecosystem, we believe we should be accountable for results. That’s why we’ve integrated engineering and construction, seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning. And that’s how we can efficiently solve complex energy and decarbonization challenges in the built environment.

We’ve recently worked on projects such as San Diego Padres Stadium, Brown University and the University of Toronto.

We operate as an integrated engineering and construction firm: we design with construction expertise, build with operations in mind, and optimize every decision to hit the target.

As a Construction Manager, your first project assignment will be our UC Davis Project where you will be deeply involved throughout all phases: you will have a strong influence during the design stage—ensuring constructability and operational efficiency—before leading its execution on site.

Here, you won’t be given a step‑by‑step playbook. Instead, we define what the building needs to achieve—and you’ll have the freedom, resources, and the full toolbox to determine how to get there.
