About the Role:

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

  • PE required (any U.S. state);

  • Provide mechanical design and stamped construction documents (drawings and specifications)

  • Conduct field verification and analysis of existing systems to inform design

  • Perform load calculations and equipment selection

  • Design HVAC ductwork and piping layouts

  • Support operations team with permits and code compliance

  • Coordinate designs with other disciplines (controls, structural, electrical)

  • Mentor and guide assigned engineering personnel

  • Perform audits of building systems and collaborate on energy savings calculations

  • Develop project schedules, budgets, and contracts with project teams

  • Support sales with customer visits and technical presentations

  • Communicate technical concepts clearly to clients and non-technical stakeholders

  • Stay current on industry trends and new technologies



Requirements

Requirements:

  • 4+ years of engineering experience.
  • Professional Engineer License.
  • Working knowledge of duct and/or pipe systems and associated fittings.
  • Experience in detailing using 3D software (CAD & Revit).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Windows-based applications; familiarity with Bluebeam Revu is preferred.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced team environment with strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • 401(k) with company match

  • PTO & Paid Holidays

  • Tuition Reimbursement
