At Summer Consultants, finance is not just about closing the books. It is about helping the firm run better.
We are a project-based engineering consulting firm serving federal, institutional, and higher education clients. That means strong financial operations matter at every level of the business, from accurate project setup and billing to reliable reporting, clean data, and better decision-making. We are looking for a Controller who can do more than maintain accounting operations. We are looking for someone who can strengthen the finance engine behind the business.
This role is responsible for leading the firm’s core accounting and financial operations, including the monthly close process, financial reporting, internal controls, and oversight of day-to-day accounting activities. Just as importantly, this person will lead improvements in how finance supports project operations by strengthening project accounting workflows, reporting discipline, and use of Deltek Vantagepoint.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both structure and improvement. The right candidate will bring sound accounting judgment, strong controllership fundamentals, and the ability to translate financial discipline into practical process improvements that support project managers, leadership, and long-term firm performance.
This role also offers a meaningful growth path. The Controller will work closely with the firm’s current finance leader and will have the opportunity to grow into broader responsibility over time as part of a planned transition.
If you are looking for a role where you can lead, improve, and build, not just maintain, we would like to hear from you.

Summer Consultants is looking for an experienced Senior Architect to join our Architecture group in either our McLean, VA or Greenbelt, MD office. This is a strong opportunity for someone who brings technical depth, practical renovation experience, and the ability to lead both project work and architectural staff within a multidisciplinary engineering and architecture environment.
Much of our work involves renovations and modernization projects within existing buildings. That makes the work interesting, technical, and often challenging. Renovation projects require architects to solve real constraints: how to design within existing conditions, how to coordinate closely with in-house engineers, how to think through constructability, and how to deliver solutions that work in the field, not just on paper.
Clients choose Summer Consultants when they want the work done right the first time. We serve our clients’ missions as if they were our own, whether supporting the warfighter or working with government, institutional, and educational clients.
Within our Architecture group, the Senior Architect plays a central role in project execution and team leadership. This role is intended to provide day-to-day supervision and technical guidance to architectural team members while helping drive drawing quality, coordination, and delivery performance across the group.
With offices in Northern Virginia and Maryland, a strong federal and institutional client base, and a focus on renovation work, you will have the opportunity to work on interesting facilities, collaborate closely with engineers, and help shape the growth of a small architecture team.

Do you wonder how the building is protected, how people get out safely, where the fire alarm devices are located, or how automatic suppression systems are routed through the space? We do too.
Summer Consultants is looking for a recent graduate or early-career engineer with up to three years of experience to join our Fire Protection team in Greenbelt, MD. You do not need to have studied Fire Protection Engineering specifically to be considered. A degree in Fire Protection Engineering is great, but a Mechanical Engineering or Architectural Engineering degree with a strong interest in fire protection, life safety, fire alarm, and suppression systems can also be a strong fit.
Much of our work involves renovations, frequently focused on MEP/FP systems within existing buildings. That means our engineers spend real time in the field: walking buildings, surveying existing conditions, tracing systems, observing constraints, and figuring out how new designs can actually work inside spaces that were not built with a clean sheet of paper.
This is a good role for someone who wants to learn by seeing buildings firsthand. Field surveys are an important part of how our engineers understand existing systems, develop judgment, and design practical solutions. You will learn how to look at a building, ask the right questions, document what is there, and help turn those observations into high-quality fire protection design.
The fun and challenge of renovation work is solving real constraints: how to make equipment fit, how to route piping or devices through existing spaces, how to work around active building operations, and how to think through how a contractor will actually build the design. Clients choose Summer Consultants when they want the work done right the first time. We are proud that 95% of our clients would refer us to others.
We serve our clients’ missions as if they were our own, whether supporting the warfighter or our nation’s government, institutional, and educational clients.

At Summer Consultants, we do more than “just design.” Many of our clients come to us knowing the symptoms of a problem, but not the cause. Our work is to investigate, understand what is really happening, develop practical solutions, and help clients choose the right path forward.

Read LessDo you feel you’ve designed just about everything by now? We do more than “just design”. Our clients frequently come to us only knowing the symptoms of their problems - we get the challenge (and fun) of investigating and figuring out what’s really wrong. We deliver multiple solutions and work with the client to pick the best solution for their case. Then we get to do the actual work of carrying out our ideas and solving their problems for good.
Most of our projects are renovations, frequently of only the MEP/FP systems, so it makes for some interesting and challenging projects. The fun of renovation work is dealing with the existing constraints imposed by the structure or building operations. We find ourselves regularly solving problems like how to make the equipment fit into an existing building or figuring out how the contractor will build your design. We are such great problem solvers that 95% of our clients would refer us to others. Clients choose us when they want the job done right the first time.
Clients also choose us because they like how involved our management is with the design process. And that’s why our senior engineers are typically our project managers. You’ll manage the project internally, but also be the face of Summer Consultants to the client, fostering that relationship. You’re also encouraged to seek out new clients.
We serve our clients' missions as if they were our own, whether supporting the warfighter or our nation's finest government and educational institutions.
With our office located in the Mid-Atlantic Region, our interesting client list, and a focus on renovation, you will get to go into some interesting buildings, sometimes seeing history from the inside out. Check out our projects page for some examples of our work.
This position will report to the Vice President in charge of electrical staff in the Raleigh Office.
