Mechanical Project Engineer (P.E.)
HVAC & Systems Integration | Cleanroom & Radiation Shielding
Cleveland, OH • Direct Hire • $130,000–$155,000 + Performance Bonus
The Opportunity
Our client is a nationally recognized specialty contractor with 40+ years of experience designing and building cleanrooms, dry rooms, and radiation shielding systems. Their roster includes NASA, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, GE, Cleveland Clinic, and ASML. This is not a coordination role or a field PM position — this is the lead internal design authority for two of the company’s most technical and highest-margin service lines.
Reporting directly to the President, you will own the internal mechanical and HVAC engineering process from concept to P.E.-stamped construction documents. If you have an active P.E. license, deep HVAC expertise in controlled environments, and the technical range to work across BIM, SolidWorks component engineering, and regulatory compliance — this is a high-impact role doing genuinely complex work.
Why This Role
- Direct report to the President — immediate visibility and impact
- Work on projects for some of the most recognized names in aerospace, defense, healthcare, and semiconductor manufacturing
- Own the full engineering lifecycle — not reviewing or coordinating someone else’s work
Stable, 40+ year company with a proprietary product line and a differentiated market position
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: $130,000–$155,000 depending on experience
- Performance bonus: 10–15% tied to project completions
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Retirement plan
- Paid time off
What You’ll Do
Internal Engineering & HVAC Design Leadership
- Serve as the primary design authority for modular cleanrooms and shielding systems — leading internal mechanical and HVAC design including airflow, HEPA/ULPA filtration, and pressurization
- Perform and document all mechanical engineering calculations: heat load analysis, psychrometrics, and fluid dynamics
- Review and approve internal design packages ensuring compliance with ISO cleanroom standards and radiation attenuation requirements
- Direct the creation of Revit models for architectural and MEP integration — ensuring designs are clash-free before fabrication
Technical Oversight & Quality Control
- Ensure all designs align with regulatory standards for medical, nuclear, and ISO-rated environments
- Manage the engineering of proprietary components (hinges, latches, seals) using SolidWorks for component-level modeling and structural analysis
- Conduct QC visits to fabrication facilities and project sites to verify physical installations match P.E.-approved specifications
Partner Coordination
- Serve as the expert technical point of contact for external partners, ensuring their facility systems align with internal design requirements
- Manage the RFI and submittal process — reviewing vendor data for compliance with the engineered design
What You Bring
Licensing & Education
- Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license required — HVAC or Mechanical Engineering specialization
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
Technical Skills
- Expert-level HVAC knowledge for controlled environments — air balancing, environmental controls, HEPA/ULPA systems
- Advanced proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD for BIM and facility integration
- SolidWorks proficiency for component-level modeling and assembly analysis
- Minimum 8 years of experience in design-build construction
Core Competencies
- Ability to take a project from concept to P.E.-stamped construction documents
- Proficiency in statics, dynamics, and thermal analysis
- Ability to translate complex engineering requirements to fabrication and installation teams
