Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the role

FireFly GX is recruiting two Senior Mechanical Engineers on behalf of a long-established MEP and building systems consultancy working on landmark projects across healthcare, mission critical, science and technology, and commercial sectors. The client is flexible across four offices — Chicago, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco — so this is worth a conversation wherever you are among them.

• Develop sustainable mechanical solutions, from concept through to detailed drawings
• Oversee drawing production against client requirements and standards
• Establish design standards, specifications and project criteria
• Produce due diligence reports, gap analyses and feasibility studies
• Prepare proposals and administer project contracts, including additional service agreements
• Set project budgets and schedules, and participate in QA/QC of the team's completed work
• Manage and review staff resource allocation

Key skills

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university
• Minimum 8 years' experience within a consulting firm
• 3+ years in a supervisory or project management capacity
• Current PE registration as a Mechanical Engineer — required, not in progress
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Revit
• Strong ability to coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, electrical and telecom, including constructability and cost
• A stable, consistent employment track record

Also useful

• LEED AP accreditation — highly preferred
• Healthcare design experience across inpatient and outpatient facilities
• Capability across mission critical, life science and R&D building types
• Science and technology or project management background

What's on offer

• 401(k) with a generous employer match
• Training, professional development courses and development incentive bonuses
• Competitive paid time off, plus a transit or parking stipend
• Monday to Thursday in the office, Fridays worked from home
• A national team of over 100 engineers to draw expertise from
