Mechanical Engineer

Entry Level and Early Career

Engineering Resource Group LLC | Flowood Office, Mississippi | Full-Time | On-Site

About ERG:

Engineering Resource Group (ERG) is a mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection consulting engineering firm with offices in Flowood and Biloxi, Mississippi. We design building systems for commercial, healthcare, higher education, and federal/DoD clients, and we stay with our projects from first concept through construction. Our work is built on design excellence and responsible, sustainable practice.

The Opportunity:

We are hiring Mechanical Engineers to join our design team, from new graduates to engineers with up to five years of experience. You will work directly with licensed Professional Engineers on HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection design and construction administration. This is a hands-on role: you will run real calculations, select real equipment, and see your designs get built.

Your starting level, responsibilities, and pay will match your experience. New engineers start with mentoring and focused design tasks. Engineers with a few years behind them take on more of the design, more of the coordination, and more direct contact with clients and contractors. Either way, you will have a clear path toward PE licensure and growth with the firm.

What You Will Do:

•      Design HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems as part of multi-disciplinary project teams.

•      Perform HVAC heating and cooling load calculations.

•      Build and run annual building energy models and simulations.

•      Select and specify mechanical equipment and components to fit project requirements.

•      Develop design drawings in Revit and AutoCAD, and help prepare specifications.

•      Support construction administration, including review of shop drawings, submittals, and RFIs against design intent.

•      Attend design, coordination, and construction meetings, and make site visits as assigned.

•      Coordinate mechanical work with architects, structural and electrical engineers, and contractors.

•      With experience, manage the mechanical design on assigned projects and help mentor newer staff.

All work is performed under the supervision and responsible charge of a licensed Professional Engineer.

What You Bring:

Required

•      Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program, completed or to be completed by start date.

•      Passed the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, or plan to take it within 12 months of hire.

•      Solid grounding in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.

•      Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word.

•      Clear written and verbal communication and the ability to work well on a team.

•      Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites.

Preferred

•      Engineer Intern (EI) certification, or Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility for the PE exam.

•      Internship, co-op, or professional experience in MEP consulting, mechanical contracting, or facilities.

•      Experience with Revit, AutoCAD, Trace 3D Plus or Trace 700, or BLCC.

•      Experience or coursework in HVAC load calculations, building energy, plumbing, or fire protection design.

•      Familiarity with the International Codes, ASHRAE standards, NFPA standards, or UFC criteria.

We will train you on our design tools and standards. Curiosity and a willingness to learn matter more than knowing every program on day one.

Why ERG?

•      Mentorship from licensed PEs and a defined path toward PE licensure.

•      Project variety across commercial, healthcare, education, and federal/DoD work.

•      Flexible work schedule, coordinated with your supervisor, within a 40-hour minimum work week.

•      Compensation: $60,000 to $90,000 based on experience and qualifications.

•      Benefits include employer sponsored health, dental and vision insurance as well as a company sponsored 401(k) plan with employer matching of up to 4% of contributed wages.
