About Us

At Engineering Economics, Inc. (EEI), we help buildings perform better — plain and simple. As a nationally recognized facility and energy consulting firm, we partner with clients across industries to deliver smart, sustainable solutions that improve system performance, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of building infrastructure.

We’re growing our team and looking for a Project Engineer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and take ownership of meaningful technical challenges — someone who thrives on problem-solving, enjoys team collaboration, and is energized by the details that make buildings smarter, stronger, and more efficient.

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Hands-On, Meaningful Work – This isn’t a desk-bound job. You’ll be out in the field, putting your engineering skills to work by reviewing systems, troubleshooting issues, and making a real impact on building performance.
  • Grow with Purpose – Whether you’re aiming to lead projects or dive deep into technical expertise, you’ll have a clear path to grow — with mentoring from industry leaders and exposure to high-level work.
  • A Team That’s Got Your Back – Join a group of smart, collaborative professionals who value independence, trust, and mutual support. You’ll never feel like just a number here.
  • Projects That Matter – You’ll work on innovative, high-profile projects for Fortune 500 clients, major healthcare networks, and top universities — the kinds of places where your work truly makes a difference.

Required

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or related field)
  • Minimum of 3 years of relevant engineering experience; EIT preferred
  • Strong knowledge of HVAC, mechanical, and/or electrical systems

  • Familiarity with commissioning processes or building performance standards
  • Experience using commissioning software and tracking tools
