About the Role

HireNow Staffing is working with a respected Texas-based engineering firm seeking a Senior Mechanical or Electrical PE with proven experience in commercial building design think hospitals, universities, stadiums, and mid/high-rise buildings. This is a high-impact, leadership-level opportunity for a hands-on engineer who thrives in fast-paced project environments and wants to mentor junior staff while staying deeply involved in design execution.

This is not an oil & gas or industrial role. We are looking for engineering professionals with strong portfolios in healthcare, education, civic, and large-scale commercial construction projects.

What You'll Do

As a Senior PE, you will lead mechanical or electrical design projects from concept to construction documents, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and interfacing with clients to deliver innovative, code-compliant systems.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Oversee and guide the mechanical or electrical design process across multiple active commercial projects

• Develop and review design documents to ensure accuracy, constructability, and compliance with internal standards

• Lead coordination efforts with internal engineering disciplines and external consultants (architects, structural, etc.)

• Participate in client meetings and contribute to relationship-building efforts to foster repeat business

• Evaluate and manage mechanical/electrical design budgets and recommend adjustments as needed

• Provide mentorship to junior staff and collaborate on manpower planning with project managers

• Conduct peer reviews and participate in in-house QA/QC processes ahead of key deliverables

• Stay current through a minimum of 10 hours of annual continuing education, which may include in-house technical training or approved external courses

Who You Are

Required Qualifications:

• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the state of Texas (or eligible to transfer)

• 7+ years of progressive experience designing commercial MEP systems (K-12, higher ed, hospitals, municipal, or stadiums preferred)

• Strong ability to produce and review mechanical or electrical design drawings and documentation

• Skilled communicator with the ability to interface directly with clients and project stakeholders

• Proficient in collaborating across engineering disciplines, architectural partners, and contractors

• Comfortable working full-time in-office as part of a collaborative project team

Nice-to-Have:

• Familiarity with Texas building codes and permitting processes

• Experience with Revit and AutoCAD MEP workflows

• Prior involvement in large-scale commercial projects ($50M+ budgets)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive base salary + potential for performance-based bonuses

• 401(k) with 100% match up to 3.5% of your contribution

• Three weeks of PTO starting in Year 1, plus 8 paid holidays

• Half-day Fridays for better work-life balance

• Professional development supported through structured continuing education

Apply through HireNow Staffing today to be considered for this high-visibility opportunity with a firm known for engineering excellence, long-term stability, and an exceptional culture of mentorship and growth.
