Dutchman Search & Recruitment

Project Manager – MEP Engineering (Facilities & Infrastructure)

Location: Newark, DE (partial relocation support available)

Join a leading, employee-focused engineering consulting firm that has been designing and delivering impactful infrastructure and facilities projects for decades. With a strong presence across multiple states and a reputation for technical excellence, collaboration, and innovation, this firm supports projects in transportation, public infrastructure, and complex facilities systems.

Their culture emphasizes professional growth, work-life balance, and long-term career stability. You'll be part of a multi-disciplinary team that combines local expertise with the resources and collaboration of a multi-office network.

The Opportunity

We're seeking a Project Manager with a strong background in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineering—particularly in HVAC design—to take ownership of complex projects from concept through completion.

This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility, leadership-track role where you'll manage projects independently, expand client relationships, and collaborate closely with engineers across multiple offices. The position is open due to growth and will help relieve senior engineers so they can focus on business development and strategic initiatives.

What You'll Do
  • Lead mechanical and multi-discipline MEP projects for public and private sector clients, with a strong focus on HVAC design.
  • Manage all phases of the project lifecycle: planning, budgeting, design oversight, client communication, and quality control.
  • Collaborate with engineers across multiple offices to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions.
  • Build and maintain client relationships while identifying opportunities to expand project scope or regional impact.
  • Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of teamwork and technical excellence.
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Independence & Ownership – Take charge of your projects and make the role your own.
  • Regional & National Exposure – Work across a five-office MEP practice with opportunities for growth beyond the local region.
  • Career Advancement – Clear pathways to senior leadership roles and larger project portfolios.
  • Variety & Impact – Diverse projects in transportation, public infrastructure, and complex facilities systems.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship – Work alongside seasoned engineers who value knowledge sharing and teamwork.
  • Work-Life Balance – Paid overtime at straight time; culture that respects your time while rewarding performance.
What We're Looking For
  • PE License (Professional Engineer) required.
  • 8+ years of experience (12+ preferred) in mechanical/HVAC design for facilities; plumbing and fire protection experience a plus.
  • Proven Project Management experience—public sector transportation project experience highly desired.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills.
  • Ability to manage projects with minimal oversight while mentoring junior staff.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Hourly rate totaling annual of around $115K–$160K, paid overtime at straight time.
  • Partial relocation assistance available for the right candidate.
  • Opportunities for career advancement, professional development, and potential transition to salaried roles with added benefits.
