This pivotal role is responsible for driving technical excellence, innovation, and strategic alignment across all phases of project delivery—from design and preconstruction to field execution and commissioning.

As a key member of our leadership team, you will shape engineering standards, mentor high-performing talent, and lead transformative initiatives in Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), modular prefabrication, and Design-Build delivery. This is a unique opportunity to influence the future of mechanical systems engineering within a forward-thinking, growth-oriented organization.

Leadership & Strategy

  • Collaborate with executive leadership to align engineering objectives with organizational strategy, innovation goals, and operational efficiency.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence across engineering, preconstruction, and field operations.

Design & Preconstruction

  • Manage internal and third-party engineering services for Design-Build and Delegated Design projects, ensuring coordination, compliance, and constructability.
  • Partner with the Preconstruction team during project pursuits to provide engineering expertise, assess design feasibility, and deliver innovative technical solutions that enhance Polk’s competitive edge.
  • Support VDC efforts by offering technical guidance to ensure BIM models and fabrication drawings meet engineering standards and field constructability requirements.

    • Project Execution & Technical Support

  • Serve as a technical resource for construction teams, offering engineering consultation, problem-solving, and design modifications throughout project execution.
  • Lead or support the commissioning (Cx) and startup processes to ensure seamless project transitions, optimal system performance, and high-quality delivery.
  • Provide engineering oversight for R&D initiatives in modular prefabrication, including the design of mechanical racks, skids, and offsite fabrication systems.

    • Talent Development & Mentorship

  • Mentor Engineers-in-Training (EITs), particularly those pursuing their Professional Engineer (PE) license, fostering their technical and professional growth.
  • Collaborate with Learning & Development to design and implement internal training programs for engineering and VDC staff.
  • Promote a culture of mentorship and leadership development across all engineering and technical disciplines.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field required; Master’s degree or PE license strongly preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, with substantial experience in Design-Build or construction environments.
  • Demonstrated success in managing engineering teams and external consultants on complex commercial or industrial projects.
  • In-depth knowledge of mechanical systems, construction methodologies, and prefabrication strategies.
  • Proficiency with BIM / VDC processes, commissioning / startup procedures, and modular construction techniques.
  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and mentor technical professionals.
