About The Position

Dynamic EcoHome is hiring an ambitious Mechanical Engineer to help build a disciplined, efficient, and scalable field operation in Houston. This is not a traditional desk-based engineering position. You will spend a significant portion of your time at job sites, with crews, and inside the daily operation. You will see problems firsthand, make decisions quickly, and turn engineering analysis into measurable improvements. You will lead installers, electricians, technicians, and other field personnel while improving the systems connecting labor, materials, equipment, schedules, job sites, and customer commitments. This opportunity is designed for an early-career engineer who wants significant ownership, leadership responsibility, and the opportunity to grow faster than a traditional engineering path typically allows.
