About the Opportunity

We’re expanding our engineering team in Henderson and looking for a Mechanical Engineer who wants to design real building‑systems projects and see them come to life quickly. You’ll support the design of HVAC, hydronic, and plumbing systems for next‑generation modular buildings used across commercial, multifamily, hospitality, and industrial markets.

This role is ideal for early‑career mechanical engineers who want hands‑on experience, direct collaboration with architectural and fabrication teams, and the chance to see their designs manufactured, assembled, and tested in a controlled environment. Candidates with EIT status or strong building‑systems experience are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

What You’ll Work On

  • Design HVAC, hydronic, and plumbing systems for modular building applications
  • Prepare load calculations, equipment selections, ductwork layouts, and piping schematics
  • Support code compliance reviews (IMC, IPC, IECC)
  • Coordinate with electrical, structural, and architectural teams to integrate MEP systems
  • Work with fabrication and field teams during assembly, testing, and commissioning
  • Review vendor submittals and verify equipment compatibility
  • Contribute to standardizing mechanical design packages for modular production
  • Troubleshoot design or installation issues with senior engineers

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 2–6 years of experience designing HVAC or plumbing systems (commercial, multifamily, industrial, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of mechanical codes, load calculations, and equipment sizing
  • Ability to read and produce construction drawings (Revit or AutoCAD preferred)
  • Experience with modular, prefabricated, or off‑site construction is a plus
  • Strong communication skills and willingness to learn in a fast‑paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Fast project cycles — see your designs built and tested quickly
  • Work directly with engineering, manufacturing, and leadership teams
  • Competitive compensation and full benefits
  • Opportunity to grow into more advanced design responsibilities
  • High‑impact work on modular building projects across multiple industries

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and Bonus
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • 401(k)
  • Career growth in a rapidly expanding modular‑construction environment
