Position Overview

Are you an MEP project manager ready to break free from basic coordination and claim true ownership over high-stakes, multidisciplinary engineering initiatives? This is your opportunity to architect the future of critical infrastructure. Whether stepping in as a Project Manager I or II, you will steer high-impact MEP projects from early-stage planning through construction closeout. You will operate as a vital leader balancing technical execution, client relationship management, and project profitability, thriving in an environment where accountability, proactive leadership, and strategic communication are deeply rewarded.

With an expansive portfolio of technically demanding work and a robust internal structure for professional advancement, this platform is specifically engineered to accelerate your trajectory toward executive-level leadership.

Core Responsibilities

• Project Stewardship: Lead all phases of multidisciplinary MEP engineering projects—including planning, design coordination, construction administration, and final closeout—ensuring every milestone is met on schedule and within budget.

• Financial & Resource Strategy: Manage project schedules, staffing, scopes, and budgets, providing strategic oversight to maximize performance and deliver profitable, high-fidelity project outcomes.

• Construction Administration Authority: Oversee comprehensive field and construction activities, including the critical evaluation of RFIs, submittals, change orders, site visits, and complex field coordination issues.

• Quality Assurance & Compliance: Review technical documentation, engineering drawings, and specifications to proactively resolve constructability concerns, coordination issues, and building code compliance gaps.

• Team Mentorship & Growth: Direct project teams, mentor junior project managers and engineering staff, and assist with recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding top-tier talent to scale team capabilities.

• Complex Portfolio Leadership: Spearhead larger, highly sophisticated engineering endeavors, including high-impact mission critical and infrastructure projects with design fees exceeding $1 million.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Electrical, or Architectural Engineering (or a closely related engineering discipline) from an accredited university.

• Experience:

  • Project Manager I: 0–5 years of progressive experience within an MEP engineering environment or related AEC consulting industry.

  • Project Manager II: 5+ years of dedicated MEP engineering and project management experience.

• Technical Acumen: Strong, comprehensive understanding of building systems, multidisciplinary workflows, and applicable building codes.

• Software Proficiency: Working knowledge and comfortable command of AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office Suite.

• Leadership Capabilities: Proven ability to manage schedules, budgets, staffing allocations, and project records effectively.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a demonstrated ability to facilitate alignment and lead high-level stakeholder meetings.

• Travel: Ability to travel approximately 10% as required to meet project and client needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer In Training (EIT) certification strongly preferred.

• Sector Expertise: Proven success managing and delivering complex projects within the mission critical, data center, aviation, or higher education sectors.
