Job description

Zona Technical Engineering (Zona) continues to grow throughout Arizona and is ready to expand the team by opening a Phoenix office. They’re seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer who’s excited to play a key role in Zona’s continued success, while also growing their career as an industry leader.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in establishing and shaping Zona’s Phoenix operations, with the full support of an established Tucson office with an existing Phoenix-based electrical engineering presence.

Who You Are:

• Professional Mechanical Engineer, licensed in Arizona
• Tech‑savvy, continuous learner who enjoys mentoring and sharing knowledge to develop others
• You take pride in exceeding expectations, creating long‑term partnerships, and are ready to lead
• Track record of success and a desire to apply your expertise and professional network to expand Zona’s growth along with your own career
• Someone seeking a firm that blends professionalism, decades of experience, and an incredible reputation, without the bureaucracy of a large national firm – more impact, a direct voice with the Principals, and more streamlined growth

What You Will Get:

This is a rare opportunity to join a well‑respected and expert full‑service MEP engineering firm that is well‑established, but still small enough to have a close‑knit culture that allows this person to have a real impact on the firm’s growth, client relationships, and expert reputation, the quality of the built environment in Arizona, and the support team’s continued development. Success as a Mechanical Engineering leader will quickly translate into professional and financial growth.

• Base salary target of $110-120K + profit sharing that allows for shared financial growth
• A dedicated team, positive and open culture, with principals who genuinely love what they do and have built a growing firm by creating strong connections within the industry and investing and mentoring in the long‑term development of all employees
• Rich benefits that include:
  • 100% employer paid health coverage premium for the employee, and 50% employer paid health coverage premiums for the family
  • 100% employer paid dental coverage premium for the employee
  • Employer‑paid Life Insurance and Long‑term Disability
  • Competitive Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Costco business membership
  • 401(k) plan with employer contributions to support your long‑term financial goals
  • Investment in the employees’ continuing education, industry engagement, and professional development

What You Will Do:

• Work with architects and project clients who are developing commercial, healthcare and medical, industrial, education, government, and municipal buildings
• Identify client needs and develop the mechanical scope of work
• Design, specify, and approve mechanical system plans that include methods, materials, and equipment specifications, building code compliance, and cost estimating
• Support procurement and construction activities, and assist with field work by conducting site visits to review installations, troubleshoot, and provide solutions to issues as needed
• Coordinate and oversee the project team, and manage the project schedule and budget
• Mentor Engineers‑in‑Training (EIT’s), junior engineers, designers, and interns
• Contribute to strategic growth initiatives
  • Expand the firm’s presence by identifying potential clients and MEP project opportunities in the Central Arizona market
  • Participate in industry organizations and networking events regularly
  • Support marketing efforts and project presentations
  • Contribute to the leadership team’s strategic vision by providing market insight and industry connections

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET‑accredited college
• 6+ years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer that includes leading teams and client consultations for commercial, healthcare, education, governmental, and/or municipal building projects
• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Arizona
• Commissioning experience is a plus
• Focused on quality, continuous improvement, and exceeding expectations with a proven ability to develop long‑term business and client relationships
• Technically proficient in:
  • Revit, AutoCAD, Autodesk Forma, Bluebeam, Carrier Hourly Analysis Program (HAP), and MS Office
  • Arizona codes, IECC codes, and ASHRAE standards
• Ability to travel to the Tucson office as needed to maintain a connection to Zona’s culture
