Description du poste

We’re growing our internal design capabilities and are looking for a Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to build and lead the mechanical & plumbing design function in-house. This newly created role is designed to eliminate outsourced design work and establish long‑term engineering leadership within the company.

If you’re a PE who wants full ownership, stamping authority, and influence across the full project lifecycle, this role was built for you.

🔧 What You’ll Do

• Lead mechanical and plumbing design for commercial and industrial renovation projects
• Design HVAC, piping, and plumbing systems within existing buildings (duct routing, piping layouts, water flow redesign)
• Perform load calculations, equipment selection, and duct/piping sizing
• Stamp and seal mechanical and plumbing drawings and specifications
• Ensure compliance with IBC, IMC, IPC, IFC, IECC, and ASHRAE standards
• Support projects through construction: RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and change orders
• Conduct site surveys and coordinate with contractors, architects, BIM/VDC teams, and inspectors
• Guide BIM coordination (clearances, slopes, access, clash resolution)
• Design domestic water, DWV, storm, and specialty piping systems
• Present designs to clients and AHJs; lead design‑assist efforts
• Establish internal standards, templates, and QA/QC processes
• Mentor and help grow the internal design team

✅ What We’re Looking For

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (Mechanical or Plumbing) in [SC]
• Ability to obtain additional state licensure via comity
• 6–12+ years of MEP design or design‑build experience
• Strong background in mechanical and plumbing renovation work
• Proficiency in Revit (MEP), AutoCAD, and Bluebeam
• Experience with load calculation software (TRACE, HAP, or similar)
• Construction‑savvy with strong trade coordination experience

⭐ Why This Role Stands Out

• Foundational leadership position — build the design group from the ground up
• In‑house stamping authority (no more outsourcing)
• High visibility and direct impact on company growth
• Opportunity to shape standards, processes, and team expansion

Benefits

• Medical insurance
• Vision insurance

Location and Salary

Columbia, SC – approx. salary range $85,000–$100,000.
