Mechanical Commissioning Agent - Federal Sector

Procon is a top-ranked construction management and technology consulting firm with 25 years of experience delivering high‑impact projects across the U.S. and worldwide. An ENR Top 100 CM/PM firm for five consecutive years, we specialize in program management, project controls, commissioning, and virtual intelligence—and offer an excellent platform to grow your career while shaping the future of the built environment.

Procon now seeks an Mechanical Commissioning Agent (CxA) to provide project support across multiple sectors, including government, military, K-12/higher education, and commercial facilities. This candidate will play a critical role in ensuring optimal building performance by leading commissioning efforts from early design through construction and the warranty phase. This position requires strong expertise in mechanical systems, building automation, and controls (BAS, SCADA). The ideal candidate should have experience working on diverse projects and be willing to travel throughout the U.S.

This is the last job you'll have. Work with an excellent team of engineers with a variety of disciplines, skill, and experience. Procon is an engineering firm, so if you don't have your FE and or PE and are working on it, we can provide you with the supervised experience that you need to move forward. The engineer's responsibilities will vary from performing commissioning work to design reviews, facility assessments, energy audits, and so on. We value an engineer with a well-rounded career and are looking for someone who will be a good addition to our group and at the same time be able to work completely independently with a minimum of supervision.
