About The Position

At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day. As we foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world? Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better. To help support our rapidly growing Chicago BES mechanical team we require a local senior Mechanical Engineering Manager who can provide mentoring and technical oversight on the teams fast paced TMT workload. We also have a goal of hiring someone in the Chicagoland area so that they can bring local expertise, and connections. Ideally the candidate will have experience with large private industrial market sector experience. A major premium will be placed on any Data Center experience. The TMT market has extremely aggressive design schedules, with lots of late changes, so the candidate needs to be willing to jump into 'the trenches' with the team and should enjoy aspects of the production work itself. The mechanical team is self-motivated but will benefit greatly from guidance not only on technical oversight, but also professional development and client communication.
