Are you a Mechanical Engineer who has built strong technical expertise and is ready for more ownership, influence, and career growth?

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected Greater Chicago engineering firm with 40+ years of success, a reputation for technical excellence, and a culture where experienced engineers are trusted to lead.

The firm is looking for a licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with 7–10 years of experience who wants to take the next step — leading projects, mentoring engineers, working directly with clients, and having a larger impact on the direction of the team.

Why Top Mechanical Engineers Are Interested

  • $110,000–$130,000+ base salary based on experience
  • 10–20% bonus opportunity
  • 40+ years of stability and a strong industry reputation
  • Long-term career growth with leadership visibility
  • Diverse, high-profile projects throughout the Chicago market
  • Collaborative environment across multiple engineering disciplines
  • Leadership team that values technical expertise and professional development
  • Strong retention with engineers building 10+ year careers

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead mechanical design efforts on complex building projects
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering staff
  • Collaborate with architects, clients, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Manage project delivery, quality, and client expectations
  • Take ownership of projects while continuing to grow as a technical leader

Ideal Background

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required
  • 7–10 years of mechanical engineering experience
  • Strong HVAC and building systems design background
  • Experience managing projects and coordinating with clients
  • Passion for mentoring and developing other engineers

Project Portfolio Includes

  • Mission Critical / Data Centers
  • Corporate Interiors
  • Cultural & Civic Facilities
  • Worship Facilities
  • Hospitality & Retail
  • Government & Municipal Projects
  • Healthcare & Life Sciences
  • Education Facilities
  • High-Rise Residential
  • Industrial & Manufacturing
  • Logistics / Warehouse Facilities

This is not a role where you are just another engineer on a project team. It is an opportunity to join a respected firm, make an impact, and build a long-term career as a technical leader.
