Job Description

Senior Mechanical Engineer (Mechanical & Plumbing Building Design)

Chicago, Illinois

$150,000 - $170,000/year | Full-Time

You've spent years designing mechanical and plumbing systems that keep buildings running efficiently. Now you're looking for a role where your technical expertise is valued, your leadership matters, and you have the opportunity to mentor the next generation of engineers.

Join a growing engineering team that invests in your career, gives you the autonomy to lead projects, encourages collaboration across departments, and provides the stability of a well-established organization. You'll enjoy a flexible work environment, comprehensive benefits, a 401(k), and a culture where talented people genuinely enjoy working together.

In this role, you'll lead the mechanical engineering effort on building projects, mentor engineers and designers, coordinate HVAC and plumbing designs with multidisciplinary teams, support clients throughout the project lifecycle, and help maintain the highest engineering standards.

We're looking for:
Professional Engineer (PE) license
8+ years of mechanical/plumbing building design experience
Experience with HVAC and plumbing system design
Proficiency with Revit, Trane Trace, and Microsoft Office
Strong communication and project leadership skills

If this sounds like the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you.
