About the role

We're standing up a mission-critical/data center practice from the ground up — building the team, standards, and processes before the volume arrives, so our first projects are executed flawlessly.

Why join us?

  • Build it, don't inherit it. You'll own the mechanical standards, templates, and procedures from a blank page.
  • Real ownership and room to grow a team beneath you as the practice scales.
  • Leadership that's tenacious, hands-on, and checks ego at the door — you won't be told "this is how we've always done it."
  • The stability of an established, profitable business behind a startup-style build.

Responsibilities

  • Own mechanical design standards, Revit/Navisworks templates, and QA/QC procedures
  • Partner closely with electrical so both disciplines produce one consistent set of drawings and standards
  • Contribute to existing energy and power generation work while the data center pipeline develops
  • 15–20% travel once projects are live

Qualifications

  • Principal/Lead Mechanical Engineer level experience
  • Mission-critical facility design background

Skills

  • Revit/Navisworks proficiency
  • CFD analysis experience — a strong plus; an in-house capability we're looking to build

Pay

$180,000 - $250,000 per year
