Senior Mechanical Engineer| Houston, TX

Senior Mechanical Engineer, PE | MEP Building Systems | Houston, TX

I’m hiring for a Senior Mechanical Engineer, PE with strong MEP building systems experience in the Houston market.

This role is focused on mechanical design leadership across active building projects in healthcare, commercial, aviation, industrial, K-12, higher education, mission critical, data center, and large facility work.

This is a good fit for a Mechanical PE who enjoys being more than just the person reviewing drawings. The right person can help lead mechanical design, mentor junior engineers, coordinate directly with clients and architects, support project delivery, and continue growing into a stronger technical or project leadership role.

What You’ll Lead:

• HVAC design and mechanical building systems
• Load calculations and equipment selection
• Airside and hydronic systems
• Mechanical construction documents
• QA/QC and technical review
• Client, architect, and contractor coordination
• RFIs, submittals, site visits, and construction administration
• Mentorship of junior engineers and designers

Project Types:

• Healthcare
• Commercial
• Aviation
• Industrial
• K-12
• Higher Education
• Mission Critical
• Data Centers
• Large Facilities

What Could Make This Worth a Conversation:

• More ownership over mechanical design and project delivery
• A path into technical lead, project manager, or discipline leadership responsibilities
• Strong Houston project backlog with established MEP design firms
• Complex building systems work, not just repetitive production
• Competitive compensation based on experience, PE, and leadership ability
• Hybrid flexibility with some firms, depending on the team and role
• Confidential conversations if you are just looking around

Background That Usually Fits:

• Licensed PE: or very close to PE, strongly preferred
• Senior Mechanical Engineer: with MEP consulting, A&E, or building systems design experience
• Strong HVAC design background: across commercial, healthcare, education, industrial, mission critical, or large facility projects
• Experience: leading projects, reviewing work, mentoring junior staff, or coordinating with clients
• Revit and AutoCAD: experience preferred

If you are a Mechanical PE in Houston and want to compare what you are doing now against what else is out there, apply or reach out directly. Happy to keep it confidential, straightforward, and focused on what would actually make sense for you.
