Company Name: DFW Consulting
Location: Las Colinas, TX
Project Focus: Airports, Data Centers, and Mission-Critical Infrastructure
Work Setting: In-Office / Flexible
Salary: $85,000 – $117,000 + Benefits
Recruited Exclusively By: Luxus | AEC Talent Partners
Position Overview
Are you a mechanical engineer ready to step out of the shadows of senior oversight and into a role defined by autonomy and technical complexity? We are seeking a Mid-Level Mechanical Engineer to join our Las Colinas team to spearhead the design of high-stakes, mission-critical environments. In this role, you aren’t just processing sheets; you are a primary problem-solver tasked with engineering the sophisticated HVAC and hydronic systems that power global logistics, data security, and public infrastructure.
Joining the firm means aligning yourself with a legacy of technical excellence and creative engineering. We specialize in the "hard stuff"—the complex retrofits and high-uptime facilities where standard solutions don't apply. This is a career-defining platform designed for an engineer who craves real ownership, direct client interaction, and a clear trajectory toward senior leadership within a collaborative, high-performance culture.
Core Responsibilities
System Architecture & Design: Engineer comprehensive HVAC and mechanical systems for complex mission-critical, aviation, and government facilities, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability.
Advanced Calculations: Execute precise heating, cooling, ventilation, and energy modeling to optimize building performance in both new builds and challenging retrofit environments.
BIM Leadership: Author and manage high-fidelity construction documents within Revit, maintaining rigorous firm standards for ductwork, hydronic, and fuel oil system layouts.
Integrated Coordination: Lead the multidisciplinary synchronization of mechanical designs with architectural, civil, electrical, and technology stakeholders to ensure seamless project delivery.
Client & Vendor Stewardship: Serve as a technical point of contact, interfacing directly with clients and equipment vendors to select high-performance components and navigate design requirements.
Lifecycle Support: Oversee the technical integrity of projects through construction administration, including submittal reviews, RFIs, and on-site field observations/punch lists.
Strategic Mentorship: Support the professional development of junior engineers and designers, fostering a culture of technical rigor and proactive risk identification.
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from an accredited university.
Experience: 3–6 years of progressive experience within an MEP consulting environment.
Software Proficiency: Advanced command of Revit MEP and professional experience with load analysis software (HAP, TRACE 700, or equivalent).
Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of mechanical and energy codes, ductwork sizing, and piping design guidelines.
Travel: Ability to travel approximately 10% for project-based site visits.
Preferred Qualifications
Licensure: Engineer-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) license.
Sector Expertise: Previous exposure to "high-uptime" projects such as data centers or large-scale aviation/airports.
Sustainability: Familiarity with LEED standards or advanced energy modeling techniques.
Problem Solving: Proven track record of navigating the unique constraints of retrofit work in existing buildings.
