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

• 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

• Stay current on industry trends and new technologies
