Mechanical/Plumbing Design Engineer

Mechanical/Plumbing Design Engineer

A growing building systems design team is adding a Mechanical/Plumbing Design Engineer to support a strong project pipeline and continued expansion in the Phoenix market. This is an excellent opportunity for an early to mid-career design professional who wants hands-on project variety, meaningful visibility with leadership, and a clear path to grow inside a small, high-activity consulting environment. The right person will join a close-knit team, work across multiple project categories, and build practical experience that can accelerate long-term career development.

This is a full-time, onsite opportunity based in North Phoenix. The office operates with a collaborative, results-focused culture that values accountability, flexibility, and strong team fit. Team members have direct access to ownership and decision-makers, allowing for faster learning, broader exposure, and less bureaucracy than many larger firms.

This Role Offers:

• Small, growing team with significant project activity and strong momentum
• Broad exposure to multiple project types rather than narrow specialization in one market
• Direct interaction with firm leadership and ownership
• Clear advancement potential for someone who wants to grow with the business
• Full-time onsite setting with standard hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and reasonable flexibility for appointments and family obligations when work is completed
• Benefits include 100% employee medical coverage, 50% dependent coverage, annual performance-based bonus opportunities, and year-end bonus or profit-sharing potential that has typically been around 10 percent of salary

Focus:

• Develop mechanical and plumbing design documents for a variety of commercial and specialty building projects
• Support HVAC and plumbing system layouts, design calculations, equipment selection, and document coordination
• Produce and revise drawings in Revit, with consideration given to candidates whose experience is stronger in AutoCAD-backed design environments
• Contribute to project delivery across multiple markets, helping the team maintain quality and responsiveness during a busy growth phase
• Coordinate with internal teammates and external project stakeholders to keep design work aligned with project objectives
• Assist with code-based design considerations, drawing updates, and general technical documentation
• Work in an environment that encourages cross-training, especially for candidates with stronger experience in either mechanical or plumbing systems who want to expand into both
• Contribute quickly and effectively with a practical, hands-on approach and limited ramp-up time

Skill Set:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Plumbing Engineering, or a closely related accredited engineering program is required
• Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship
• Experience in a consulting or design firm focused on MEP engineering is required
• Prior exposure to HVAC, mechanical, or plumbing design is required
• Revit experience is strongly preferred
• Candidates with strong overall design experience in AutoCAD may also be considered
• Mechanical or plumbing background is acceptable, with the ability and interest to develop skills across both areas
• Internship experience or industry experience is preferred for degree holders
• Candidates without a degree must bring at least 3 years of relevant MEP industry experience
• Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work well in a small team environment are important for success in this role
