  • Experience in the consulting industry

  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and with teams of multiple disciplines

  • Established network with area clients and the ability to develop or foster ongoing relationships and maintain a high level of client service

A hybrid work arrangement may be considered for this position. A hybrid work arrangement refers to splitting time worked between a Barr office and a home office. This position is/can be based out of Barr's Salt Lake City, Utah; Reno, Nevada; or Denver, Fort Collins, or Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offices.

Compensation:

The anticipated base salary range for this position is $100,000-$140,000/year. Compensation will vary based on experience, education, skill level, and other compensable factors. Employees in this position may also be eligible for a discretionary cash bonus. Our compensation comes in more ways than traditional base salary, and we believe that when all those elements are combined, our compensation is a competitive part of the total value proposition of working at Barr.

NOTE: Some work locations may feature rough terrain typical of construction sites and may also require entering and working in facilities that include limited accessibility, moving machinery, and other conditions typical of industrial facilities. An OSHA-mandated physical exam may be required. Safety training will be provided. Applicants may be asked to participate in a drug screening program at the request of specific clients.
