We're seeking a motivated, hands-on MEP Engineer to join MMA's growing team and support local and national projects across retail, healthcare, commercial, mixed-use, and other markets.

This position is particularly suited to an engineer who enjoys working on fast-paced renovations, tenant improvements, prototypes, and multi-location rollout programs and wants to work directly alongside architects, designers, clients, and project managers from initial survey through construction.

You are proactive, highly organized, technically strong, and comfortable taking ownership of projects. You will work across all phases of project delivery, evaluating existing building systems, developing and coordinating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing solutions, preparing construction documents, responding to permitting comments, and providing construction administration support.

Projects may include renovations and tenant improvements within existing retail, healthcare, and commercial spaces, where practical problem-solving and the ability to evaluate existing conditions are critical. You will collaborate closely with MMA's architectural teams to develop coordinated, efficient solutions while maintaining client standards and project schedules.

Travel may occasionally be required to evaluate existing conditions and conduct site surveys.

This role offers the opportunity to help build and shape MMA's in-house MEP capabilities while supporting a growing portfolio of national clients and programs.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred, but not required
• Strong experience with existing buildings, renovations, tenant improvements, and/or multi-location rollout programs
• Experience designing and documenting HVAC and mechanical systems, including equipment selection, load calculations, ductwork, controls coordination, and distribution systems
• Experience coordinating electrical power and lighting, plumbing, and associated building systems across MEP disciplines
• High level of proficiency in Revit and/or AutoCAD
• Strong working knowledge of applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and building codes and standards
• Ability to evaluate existing conditions and develop practical solutions for the reuse, modification, or replacement of existing building systems
• Experience preparing permit and construction documents and responding to jurisdictional plan review comments
• Experience with construction administration, including RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, field observations, and contractor coordination
• Strong communication and coordination skills with architects, engineers, clients, contractors, vendors, and permitting authorities
• Ability to independently manage multiple projects, deadlines, and deliverables in a fast-paced environment
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• Experience in retail, healthcare, restaurant/QSR, commercial interiors, or other multi-location programs strongly preferred
