Design Engineer: This is where you come in.

We're looking for a Design Engineer responsible for the layout, design, and coordination of assigned projects while ensuring high-quality, accurate, and timely deliverables. This role supports ongoing engineering documentation, design development, and quality control efforts. The Design Engineer works collaboratively with internal teams and external partners to deliver coordinated mechanical designs and construction documents aligned with company standards.

In return for your hard work and ability to deliver results, you'll be rewarded with more ownership, abundant growth opportunities, and more freedom than you've probably ever had.

Top Deliverables in your first Year to be a Hero

Deliver exceptional designs - Produce fully coordinated, accurate HVAC and plumbing system designs that meet project requirements, codes, and quality standards.
Manage projects from start to finish - Oversee multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring schedules, budgets, and performance goals are consistently achieved.
Lead with accountability - Coordinate project workflows, delegate tasks effectively, and guide team members to deliver on time and with precision.
Collaborate across disciplines - Work closely with architects, engineers, project managers, and field teams to ensure design intent aligns seamlessly with construction execution.
Produce clear, high-quality documentation - Create and maintain detailed calculations, reports, and design drawings using Revit, AutoCAD, and Bluebeam Revu.
Invest in others - Mentor and train team members to strengthen technical expertise, uphold company standards, and support professional growth.
Champion innovation - Drive process improvements and introduce new technologies that enhance design efficiency and project delivery.

The Design Engineer reports to Steve Hargrove, Associate Principal Engineer, and is part of a collaborative team driving a wide range of projects and initiatives that support our growing business. This highly visible role offers the opportunity to work across all levels and functions of the organization.

You should have:

Skilled at managing multiple projects and priorities efficiently without compromising quality.
Knowledgeable of relevant building codes and industry standards, ensuring compliance and best practices.

And you should be motivated by:

Thriving in a fast-paced, results-driven environment where initiative and continuous improvement are recognized and rewarded.
Contributing to a transparent, innovative, and collaborative culture that values teamwork, curiosity, and creative problem-solving.
