MEP Practice Leader

MEP Division Leader

A well-capitalised, multi-office engineering platform with a growing national footprint is creating a brand-new MEP Division — and searching for the leader to build it. A substantial internal project pipeline already exists, with continued platform expansion underway. The infrastructure, the client base, and the executive backing are in place. What's missing is the right engineer to turn that opportunity into a thriving, nationally recognised MEP practice.

This is a rare appointment. You will define the division's structure, hire the team, set the technical standards, and own the P&L from day one — reporting directly to the COO with the autonomy to operate like a founder and the stability of an established platform behind you. The target is $5M+ in annual MEP revenue within 12–24 months, and the internal referral pipeline gives you a meaningful head start.

If you are a licensed PE with commercial MEP leadership experience and the ambition to build something of real and lasting significance, this is the role you have been waiting for.

Key responsibilities include:

• Build and scale a commercial MEP division from inception to a sustainable, profitable business unit
• Develop and execute a revenue growth strategy targeting $5M+ annual revenue within 12–24 months
• Serve as Engineer of Record (EOR) and ensure full compliance with applicable codes and regulations
• Establish QA/QC standards, technical delivery processes, and risk management protocols
• Lead business development efforts, including client acquisition and expansion of existing relationships
• Collaborate with internal architecture and engineering teams to deliver integrated project solutions
• Oversee project performance, ensuring 30%+ gross margins and strong utilization targets
• Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing multidisciplinary MEP team
• Implement forecasting, backlog management, and financial reporting processes
• Support national growth initiatives and cross-office collaboration
