Build More Than Projects-Build Your Career
A college degree gives you the foundation. MTech's Project Engineer Rotation Program shows you how the work actually comes together.

As a Project Engineer I, you will gain hands-on experience across the full lifecycle of commercial mechanical construction-from engineering and design through field operations and project management. You will work alongside engineers, project managers, field leaders, skilled craft professionals, clients, vendors, and trade partners while developing a practical understanding of how complex mechanical systems are designed, coordinated, installed, and delivered.

The rotation program is intentionally broad and tailored to each employee's development. Over the course of the program, which may take up to five years, you will move through multiple areas of the business, build meaningful relationships across MTech, and identify the career path that best aligns with your strengths and interests.

Throughout the experience, you will be supported by MTech's Project Engineer Manager, who will provide consistent coaching, feedback, and guidance as you grow.

This is an entry-level opportunity with long-term career potential in project management, engineering, preconstruction, estimating, sales engineering, field operations, and other areas of the business.
