Job description

Behind every skyline is a community of Engineers.

At Jordan & Skala Engineers (JSE), we design the systems behind the multifamily and mixed-use buildings shaping growing cities, skylines, and neighborhoods- everything from mid-rise and high-rise mixed-use towers to garden-style communities, including podium and garage-wrap construction. If you like complex buildings, thoughtful coordination, and seeing your work move from model to jobsite, you’ll fit in well here!

We’re looking for a Senior Plumbing Engineer/Designer (10+ years of experience preferred) who can own design, collaborate in a technology driven BIM environment, and support projects through construction.

What You’ll Do

• Plumbing & Fire Protection Design
• Design domestic water, storm drainage, sanitary waste and vent, and natural gas distribution systems
• Size, select, schedule, and specify plumbing components including fixtures, specialties, and equipment
• Support fire protection design (including pumps, standpipes, and specialty systems)
• Produce clear, coordinated documentation for new construction and renovations

Multifamily & Mixed-Use Project Delivery

• Lead plumbing design for a range of building types, including:
• High-rise and mid-rise apartments (including towers requiring complex riser strategies)
• Garden-style and low-rise communities with repeatable unit stacks and phased construction
• Student housing with high fixture density and durability-focused specifications
• Luxury multifamily with extensive amenity areas (pools, fitness, club rooms, rooftop/terrace programs, etc.)
• Mixed-use buildings that combine residential with retail/restaurant and other street-level uses
• Podium and garage-wrap configurations that add coordination complexity across levels and occupancies

• Coordinate plumbing systems in a real-time Revit/BIM workflow alongside mechanical, electrical, structural, and architectural teams
• Contribute to practical, code-aligned solutions for the “hard parts” of these buildings- tight shafts, repetitive stacks, equipment room constraints, and fast schedules

Construction Support

• Support construction administration including submittal reviews, RFI responses, field observations, and documentation updates
• Travel for job site visits and building surveys as required

Mentorship & Quality

• Mentor and support the development of designers and early-career engineers through plan reviews, guidance, and knowledge-sharing
• Help maintain quality and consistency across plumbing deliverables, including coordination checks and documentation standards

What will make you successful

Required

• Strong working proficiency in Revit (plumbing design within a BIM workflow)
• Solid understanding of plumbing codes and how systems interact in dense, multidisciplinary projects
• Experience leading plumbing design for multi-discipline building projects and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders
• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience, if applicable)

Preferred

• 10+ years of plumbing/fire protection design experience (consulting engineering preferred)
• EIT or P.E. license (or clear path toward licensure)
• ASPE CPD certification
