A Career at PEAK Resources

In every situation we strive for excellence, from our technical and architectural efforts to our professional services and project management delivery. We do all of this with an explicit focus on integrity and the priorities of our clients. PEAK is selective in the partnerships that we choose to enter and we explicitly claim to not be “all things to all people”.

These positions are supported by a highly motivated and customer-focused team of professionals including accounting, customer service and operations personnel. We are looking for dynamic new individuals to join our growing team and we invite you to get to know more about our company and culture.
