Mechanical Engineer (Chicago)

I’m partnering with an established Midwest engineering consulting firm that is looking to add an experienced Mechanical Engineer to its growing team in the Chicagoland area.

This is a great opportunity for someone with an HVAC and/or plumbing background who wants greater project ownership, direct access to leadership, and exposure to a specialized project portfolio.

The Opportunity:

• Lead mechanical/HVAC + plumbing design for municipal, water/wastewater + infrastructure facilities
• Take ownership of projects from design through construction
• Work on building systems within complex infrastructure environments
• Coordinate directly with clients + multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Provide technical guidance and support to less-experienced engineers
• Opportunity to continue growing into project leadership + PM responsibilities
• Strong, consistent pipeline of long-term infrastructure projects

What They’re Looking For:

• Mechanical engineering experience within MEP/building systems
• Strong HVAC and/or plumbing design background
• Experience coordinating projects across multiple disciplines
• Ability to take ownership of projects and work directly with clients
• Strong communication + technical leadership skills
• PE valued for senior-level candidates

Why Consider It?

• Established firm with around 160 employees
• Chicago + Naperville office options
• Flat organizational structure with strong access to senior leadership
• Monthly incentive bonus eligibility after 6 months, tied to company performance
• Strong benefits + long-term career stability
• Flexibility depending on the individual, manager + office
• Opportunity to grow into greater project leadership/PM responsibilities
• Specialized project portfolio that provides something different from traditional commercial MEP consulting
• Strong Midwest presence with opportunities to collaborate across multiple offices
