Commercial Building Engineer

Building Engineer – Class A Commercial Office (Direct Hire)

Location: Denver Tech Center (Greenwood Village, CO) | On-site

Compensation: $85,000 – $95,000 annually

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 6:30am – 3:30pm, plus after-hours on-call

About the Opportunity

AimHire is partnering with a well-established real estate investment and development firm to find a Building Engineer for two Class A office properties in the Denver Tech Center. Our client is active across all major property classes and is known for its hands-on, collaborative team and its commitment to high-quality, well-run assets. They see their people as their greatest asset and offer a supportive, performance-driven environment where engineers can keep learning and growing.

This is a strong fit for a mid-level engineer who has moved beyond entry level and wants more ownership, but isn't looking for a chief engineer role just yet.

What You'll Do

You'll be the primary on-site engineer for two Class A buildings, splitting your time between a main property and a second nearby property (roughly 60–70% at the main site). Reporting to the Chief Engineer, you'll keep building systems running safely and efficiently, and you'll be the first point of contact when something comes up.

• Operate, monitor, and troubleshoot HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems
• Work hands-on with both pneumatic and DDC controls, as well as cooling tower and rooftop unit (RTU) systems
• Perform routine inspections and carry out preventive maintenance to reduce downtime and extend equipment life
• Respond to tenant service requests quickly and professionally
• Review construction drawings from a mechanical and plumbing standpoint
• Coordinate with vendors and contractors, including supervising after-hours work
• Keep accurate maintenance records and work orders
• Support facility improvement projects and take part in weekly team meetings
• Serve as first responder for after-hours issues, and arrange coverage with the engineering team when you're out

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of building engineering or commercial maintenance experience (closer to 5 preferred)
• Hands-on experience with both pneumatic and DDC HVAC systems
• Working knowledge of cooling towers and RTUs
• Solid mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general repair skills
• Ability to read technical manuals, building plans, construction drawings, and schematics
• Comfort with work order systems, documentation, and email
• A polished, responsive, customer-service mindset suited to a Class A environment
• A "roll up your sleeves" attitude: you dig into a problem before calling a vendor, but you know when to escalate
• Clear communication with property management, tenants, and contractors
• Ability to lift moderate weight, work on ladders, and handle physical tasks safely
• A degree or formal certifications are not required . Relevant HVAC or building engineering training is a plus, but proven hands-on skill matters most.

Why You'll Like It

• Competitive salary of $85K–$95K
• Two well-maintained Class A properties that are steady without being chaotic
• A team culture where everyone pitches in toward the same goal
• Backup coverage from fellow engineers for vacations and time off
• Real room to learn, grow, and build your career
• Straightforward, in-person interview process
