About The Position

SEH is currently searching for a Professional Mechanical Engineer to join our talented Architecture team! SEH is hiring a Mechanical Engineer to be a foundational hire for our West Region team in Colorado. This role is ideal for an engineer who can manage projects independently and confidently serve as the mechanical lead from concept through construction. You will step into a high-autonomy seat where you can operate as the mechanical lead: scoping work, engaging clients, coordinating with design teams, producing complete construction documents in Revit, and supporting construction administration. This is also a growth role. As the West Region team expands, this position has the opportunity to evolve into a Project Manager and people leader role as skills and interest align.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in one or more states required.
• Colorado licensure preferred, or ability to obtain Colorado licensure through comity soon after hire.
• Demonstrated ability to run projects independently and deliver complete HVAC and plumbing designs.
• Strong consulting experience designing to ASHRAE and relevant mechanical, plumbing, and energy codes.
• Revit proficiency is required. Design and production support are available; however, production-level capability in modeling and construction documentation is expected.
• Client-facing communication skills, including the ability to lead coordination conversations and present recommendations clearly.
• Ability to travel for occasional site visits and fieldwork.
• Live within daily commuting distance of the SEH Denver Office.
• Work from home is acceptable; however, the candidate must be willing to work in the office as needed for team collaboration.
• The selected candidate must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future.

• Experience leading small to mid-size projects through construction with strong ownership of schedule and quality.
• Interest and aptitude for growth into project management and managerial roles, including mentoring and team-building.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the Mechanical Engineer of Record on building and facility projects, owning quality, schedule, and delivery.
• Produce HVAC and plumbing designs and construction documents in Revit with minimal oversight.
• Coordinate design with architects, owners, and internal disciplines including electrical, structural, civil, and process.
• Conduct site visits and in-person client meetings at project locations generally in the West Region and occasionally throughout the country.
