Mechanical Engineer IV
Some travel will be required within the Midwest region. This travel may include but is not limited to client meetings, site visits, field verifications, and building assessments.
The salary range is
$120,000 - $170,000. The salary may vary within the range based on factors such as location of the role, and a candidate's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
What You'll DoYou'll be a hands-on leader working with project teams to design mechanical systems that improve how public buildings operate - especially schools. Your work will influence everything from classroom comfort to long-term energy savings.
- As the Engineer of Record, you will be the primary system designer of HVAC and plumbing systems for K-12 and public sector projects, balancing performance, cost, and constructability
- Provide overall leadership of the mechanical design by providing technical direction, overseeing the work of junior staff, ensuring quality documents and meeting client expectations.
- Plan and coordinate all aspects of the engineering work; assign and direct staff.
- Collaborate closely with project teams, clients, and stakeholders to bring designs from concept through construction
- Visit project sites across the Midwest for field verification, assessments, and client interaction-seeing your designs come to life
- Oversee development of Revit models and construction documents that clearly communicate design intent
- Analyze existing building systems and help identify opportunities for improvement and modernization
- Support construction phases through RFIs, submittals, and site observations
- Maintain and improve engineering design standards and processes.
Why This Role Stands Out - Meaningful Projects: Work on schools and public facilities that impact entire communities - not just commercial spaces
- Visible Impact: Your designs directly improve building performance, occupant comfort, and sustainability
- Variety: Mix of design work and real-world exposure through site visits and collaboration
- Growth Opportunity: Take ownership of projects and continue developing into a more senior technical role
