Entry-Level Mechanical Engineer

About the role

This is a hands-on role with exposure to inspections, testing, equipment installations, and client-facing work. The ideal candidate will be a recent graduate or early-career engineer eager to apply mechanical or civil engineering skills in the field and grow with our company. This position is remote/work-from-home and based in the Cincinnati area, reporting directly to our local manager. Candidates must have reliable personal transportation, as travel throughout the region is a key part of the role. Local travel will typically be completed using a personal vehicle, with mileage reimbursement provided, while overnight or out-of-town travel may involve the use of a rental vehicle. Travel is regularly required throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, with occasional assignments in other locations as business needs dictate.
