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
