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);

• Perform load calculations and equipment selection

• 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).
