Be part of a historic wave of VA hospital modernization. We're seeking a Mechanical Engineer with a Plumbing Specialization (CM-MP) to support one of the most active construction programs at the Washington, DC VA Medical Center — a facility currently undergoing major infrastructure upgrades as part of VA's largest-ever single-year modernization investment. Ongoing work at this campus includes the conversion of an inpatient unit into a new 28-bed ICU/Ventilator Unit, rooftop mechanical system upgrades, and coordinated improvements across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure — all while keeping a live, occupied hospital fully operational for the veterans it serves. This is hands‑on, high‑visibility work: you'll be engaged in design and construction phases for complex healthcare renovation projects, not routine maintenance. You'll help shape how a major VA medical center adapts its physical plant to modern clinical standards, working alongside a construction management team responsible for pre‑design, design, procurement, and construction phase services. What You’ll Do Provide plumbing engineering expertise across design and construction phases of active healthcare renovation projects Review and provide professional recommendations on scope documents, submittals, and RFIs Support QA/QC efforts, identifying project risks, code compliance issues, and constructability concerns Coordinate with mechanical contractors and multidisciplinary teams to keep projects moving in a live hospital environment Apply local, state, and federal jurisdictional codes to healthcare‑specific plumbing and MEP systems Help ensure renovation work meets the safety, compliance, and continuity‑of‑care standards required in an occupied VA medical facility Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance Vision insurance Life Insurance 401(k) Retirement Plan with matching Paid Time Off Paid Federal Holidays Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution 6+ years of professional experience in design and construction, with a specialization in plumbing systems — ideally in commercial, institutional, or healthcare settings Experience with mechanical contractors and commercial/HVAC plumbing systems Strong grasp of building codes, permitting, and construction materials/methods Comfort reviewing design drawings and providing constructability recommendations Healthcare facility construction/renovation experience is a plus Required U.S. Citizenship Eligibility to obtain a Public Trust Clearance and VA PIV badge
