Careers
Build your career in the Sierra
We're a small, senior engineering team doing building-performance work across the Tahoe–Truckee–Reno region and eight western states. When we grow, we grow carefully.
Why Bender
What it's like to work here
Real ownership, broad scope, and the kind of place where engineering meets the outdoors.
Senior, hands-on work
A small team means you own real projects end to end, not a sliver of someone else's drawing set.
The whole building
Move across design, energy compliance, HERS verification, and commissioning, and get genuinely good at all of it.
Mountains out the door
Truckee and Tahoe at your doorstep. Ski, climb, and ride between deadlines. Most of us do.
Licensed to grow
We support the paths that matter here: PE licensure, CalCERTS HERS certification, and LEED accreditation.
