About the Role:
spent years feeling like a cog in a big engineering firm - working on just one piece of a project and never seeing the full picture - this is your opportunity to change that.
You’ll join a tight-knit team of three and step in as the mechanical expert, leading full HVAC and plumbing system designs from concept through stamped construction documents. This isn’t a role about designing one component - you’ll own the entire system. You’ll have real influence over project direction, creative latitude on complex retrofits, and a direct hand in building out the engineering team.
This

- Wants to work on full system designs - not just parts
- Is tired of limited ownership at a large firm and wants more autonomy
- Craves creative problem-solving and challenging retrofit work (not just 1-to-1 replacements)
