Job Title: Lead Mechanical Design Engineer (MEP / HVAC / Plumbing)
Pay Rate: $ up to $150,000 depending on experience
spent years feeling like a cog in a big engineering firm—working on just one piece of a project and never seeing the full picture—this is your opportunity to change that.
You’ll join a tight-knit team of three and step in as the mechanical expert, leading full HVAC and plumbing system designs from concept through stamped construction documents. This isn’t a role about designing one component—you’ll own the entire system. You’ll have real influence over project direction, creative latitude on complex retrofits, and a direct hand in building out the engineering team.
This role is ideal for someone who:
• Wants to work on full system designs—not just parts
• Is tired of limited ownership at a large firm and wants more autonomy
• Craves creative problem-solving and challenging retrofit work (not just 1-to-1 replacements)
• Is ready to step into leadership and mentor junior engineers
• Wants a say in how the engineering practice grows
