Director of MEP Engineering - Remote (US) One of our more prominent engineering clients is appointing a Director of MEP Engineering to lead and scale its building services practice nationally. This is a genuinely remote leadership seat: you will own the technical direction, delivery quality and commercial performance of the MEP group, working with project teams and clients across multiple states. The firm has a strong pipeline across healthcare, mission-critical/data centers, higher education, commercial and mixed-use development and needs a leader who can convert that demand into a repeatable, well-run practice rather than a collection of individual projects.
What you'll be doing:
  • Leading the MEP practice across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design, setting technical standards and holding the line on quality
  • Owning practice P&L: utilization, fee forecasting, resourcing and margin performance
  • Acting as engineer of record and senior technical authority on complex schemes, providing QA/QC oversight and stamping across multiple jurisdictions
  • Building and mentoring a distributed team of project engineers, designers and discipline leads, with clear development paths and succession
  • Driving business development: owner and architect relationships, proposals, fee negotiation, and repeat work from key accounts
  • Working with architectural and structural counterparts to deliver coordinated, constructible designs from concept through construction administration
  • Guiding the practice on energy modeling, decarbonization, electrification and code compliance as client expectations shift
  • What you'll bring
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license, with multi-state licensure or the ability to obtain it via comity; LEED AP, CEM, CxA or similar an advantage
  • Proven record of winning and delivering work you can point to clients you brought in and teams you built
  • Deep design command across HVAC systems, power distribution, lighting, plumbing and fire protection, with fluency in Revit/BIM workflows and current energy and building codes
  • Experience leading remote or multi-office teams, with the discipline that distributed delivery demands
  • What's on offer
  • Full remote flexibility with autonomy over how the practice is built
  • Direct line to firm leadership and a genuine seat at the table on strategy
  • Competitive base, performance bonus and [equity/ownership pathway]Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with match, generous PTOProfessional dues, licensure renewals and continuing education fully covered
