Project Mechanical Engineering

Engagement: 12-18 Month Contract | High Likelihood of Permanent Placement

We are partnering with an established and expanding EPC firm with a strong reputation in the chemical processing industry. The organization is known for engineering excellence, successful project delivery, and investment in future-state initiatives that position them for long-term growth. With a robust project pipeline and additional opportunities on the horizon, this role offers both immediate impact and long-term career potential.

We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer with strong EPC chemical plant experience to join a growing Houston-based team. This role offers the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle — from FEED through detailed engineering (Phase II & III) and construction handover — contributing to meaningful, high-visibility projects.

This is more than a contract role. With consistent incoming work and strategic expansion underway, there is a strong likelihood of permanent placement for high performers.

Lead and support mechanical design activities for chemical plant projects

Mechanical specifications and design documents

Collaborate cross-functionally with process, piping, instrumentation, and construction teams

Provide technical input during design reviews and support constructability planning

Help resolve field and technical issues during execution phases

Ensure engineering deliverables meet quality, safety, and compliance standards

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering

5-8+ years of experience in EPC and chemical plant environments (closer to 8 years preferred)

Demonstrated experience in plant design and project lifecycle execution

Strong understanding of FEED, detailed engineering, and construction transition processes

Experience reviewing and developing P&IDs, line lists, and equipment specifications

Ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced project environment

Long-term engagement with strong potential for permanent conversion

Stable and expanding project pipeline

Exposure to impactful chemical processing projects

If you’re a mechanical engineer looking for both stability and upward mobility within a growing organization, this is an excellent opportunity to make a measurable impact while positioning yourself for long-term career growth.
