Mechanical/Plumbing Designer II

At CM Associates Engineers, PLLC (CM), we're not just designing building systems, we're helping shape the communities where we live and work.

As a growing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection consulting engineering firm, we believe our greatest asset is our people. Here, you'll work alongside experienced engineers, collaborate directly with clients and architects, and gain hands-on experience on projects from concept through construction.

Unlike large engineering firms where employees often work on a small portion of a project, our team members are involved throughout the entire design process. You'll have the opportunity to expand your technical knowledge, develop professionally, and take on increasing responsibility as your career grows.

Our Principal, Mik Mikulich, brings more than 27 years of engineering experience and is committed to mentoring the next generation of engineering professionals.

If you're looking for a place where your work matters, your ideas are valued, and your career can grow, we'd love to meet you.
