If you're a Mechanical Engineer who’s tired of rigid work schedules, being micromanaged, boxed into one project type, or stuck without growth- please read on!

Brand-new opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer (PE or EIT) to join a growing team of consulting engineers where you’ll have the autonomy to do your best work, the flexibility to live your life, and the support to grow your career long-term.

This is a place where you can work remote or hybrid- your choice. Good people are trusted, ideas are welcomed, and the growth potential is real.

• Civic and government
• Commercial and office buildings
• Multifamily and senior living
• K-12 schools 
• Healthcare and specialty environments
• Water and wastewater infrastructure (a plus, not required)

You won’t be siloed or specialized in only one project type. Rather you’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of projects, systems, and project sizes, making you a well-rounded and valuable engineer.

• Remote-first flexibility (work from anywhere in MN or western WI)
• Flexible hours, manage your schedule like an adult
• Minimal bureaucracy, no micromanagement
• Clear path to grow into Project Manager and leadership roles
• Paid support for PE licensure, exams, and study materials
• Training in project management, client interaction, and leadership

• Have a real voice in projects and the direction of the team
• Competitive base salary (generally $100K–$145K+, depending on experience)
• Performance bonuses (typically up to 10%)
• Long-term growth and stability in a busy, expanding firm

What the Mechanical Engineer Will Do:

• Design HVAC and plumbing systems for commercial and institutional projects
• Perform load calculations, system selection, and equipment sizing
• Develop construction documents using Revit (primarily) and AutoCAD
• Coordinate with architects and multidisciplinary teams
• Support projects from concept through construction
• Participate in client meetings and project discussions
• Mentor junior staff (if interested)

About You:

• 6-20+ years of mechanical engineering
• Licensed PE (or an EIT on track to become a PE)
• Experience with HVAC and plumbing design
• Revit skills (AutoCAD familiarity is a plus)
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
• Comfortable designing systems with minimal oversight

Who Thrives Here:

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Doesn’t want to be micromanaged
• Enjoys autonomy and working remotely
• Wants variety in their projects
• Is looking for long-term growth opportunities
• Values flexibility, trust, and a strong team culture
