Principal Mechanical Engineer

Jobot

A bit about us:

We're an engineering and fabrication company serving energy and industrial clients, with mechanical, electrical, and controls capability under one roof. We're standing up a mission-critical/data center practice from the ground up - building the team, standards, and processes before the volume arrives, so our first projects are executed flawlessly.

Why join us?

Build it, don't inherit it. You'll own the mechanical standards, templates, and procedures from a blank page.
Real ownership and room to grow a team beneath you as the practice scales.
Leadership that's tenacious, hands-on, and checks ego at the door - you won't be told "this is how we've always done it."
The stability of an established, profitable business behind a startup-style build.

Job Details

Principal/Lead Mechanical Engineer - mission-critical facility design
Houston or remote
Own mechanical design standards, Revit/Navisworks templates, and QA/QC procedures
Partner closely with electrical so both disciplines produce one consistent set of drawings and standards
CFD analysis experience a strong plus - an in-house capability we're looking to build
Contribute to existing energy and power generation work while the data center pipeline develops
15-20% travel once projects are live
