Compensation
: 150K-200K + very high bonus potential

An established, industry-leading engineering consulting firm is seeking a dynamic Senior MEP Engineer & Practice Builder to launch, shape, and scale a dedicated Healthcare and Mission-Critical Engineering Practice in Phoenix, Arizona.

This is a premier seller-doer  leadership role designed for an entrepreneurial PE-level engineer who excels at building client relationships, capturing market share, and leading high-stakes technical projects. If you possess deep technical mastery in complex MEP environments (acute-care hospitals, data centers, central utility plants) and are ready to transition from managing existing pipelines to owning and building your own practice
, this opportunity offers unprecedented autonomy, market impact, and professional growth.

Build Your Legacy: You won't just manage an existing queue of work. You will sit in the driver's seat—defining market strategy, shaping service offerings, recruiting your core engineering team, and establishing a prominent practice across the Southwest.

Capitalize on a High-Growth Market: Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing healthcare and mission-critical hubs in North America. You will leverage an established corporate brand to capture significant regional demand.

End-to-End Autonomy: Take complete ownership of the client lifecycle—from initial market pursuit and proposal strategy through complex engineering execution, commissioning, and long-term account expansion.

Lead the strategic growth and market expansion of an MEP practice focused on healthcare systems, data centers, and mission-critical infrastructure.

Act as a lead  seller-doer , establishing direct relationships with hospital networks, data center operators, developers, architects, general contractors, and public agencies across Arizona.

Own the pursuit pipeline: drive proposals, scopes of work, fee negotiations, competitive interviews, and project capture strategies.

Serve as a strategic and technical advisor to executive-level client stakeholders.

Provide senior technical oversight for high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering projects.

Remain hands-on in conceptual design, high-level calculations, system redundancy modeling, technical reviews, and QA/QC procedures.

Manage complex projects across their full lifecycle—conceptual planning, detailed design, construction administration, commissioning, and final handover.

Ensure all designs prioritize reliability, N+1/2N redundancy, energy efficiency, maintainability, constructability, and strict code compliance.

Recruit, mentor, and retain top-tier engineers, designers, and project managers to build a high-performing local team.

Set initial practice structure, project workflows, and technical delivery standards as revenue scales.

Balance practice profitability, staff utilization, business development targets, and delivery schedules.

Foster a collaborative culture grounded in technical rigor, accountability, client service, and professional development.

Healthcare: Acute-care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, complex clinical environments, medical gas systems, central utility plants, and phased renovations within active operational facilities.

Mission-Critical: Tier III/IV data centers, high-density computing facilities, critical emergency power systems, standby generators, UPS systems, central cooling plants, and redundant electrical distribution.
