Job Description

Are you a hands-on Mechanical & Plumbing engineer who’s just as comfortable drafting a clean set of construction drawings as you are selecting the right equipment for the job? Do you believe a school should breathe easily, a fire station should run without a hiccup, and every pipe and duct should land exactly where the drawings say it will? One of our Colorado-based clients is looking for a Full-Time Mechanical & Plumbing Engineer to join their team as a true support member, handling technical MP drafting and a wide range of MP design tasks on mid-sized U.S. commercial construction projects.

BetterPros unlocks human potential by offering competitive compensation, flexibility, constant learning and growth, and the opportunity to work anywhere you want with one of our +130 active clients across the United States.

Key Responsibilities

  • Mechanical: perform heating and cooling load calculations, select and size HVAC equipment, and design ductwork, air distribution, and ventilation systems for commercial buildings.
  • Plumbing: perform fixture unit calculations and design domestic water, sanitary waste, vent, and storm drainage systems. Size and select water heaters, pumps, and related equipment.
  • Conduct mechanical systems analysis to compare options and recommend efficient, code-compliant solutions.
  • Produce complete MP construction drawings: floor plans by discipline, equipment schedules, riser diagrams, sections, and key details.
  • Support senior engineers across a variety of design tasks, from early concepts through Construction Documents.
  • Coordinate MP systems with architectural, structural, and electrical disciplines to resolve conflicts before they reach the field.
  • Produce energy code compliance documentation.
  • Respond to construction-phase RFIs and submittal reviews.
  • Maintain disciplined file management, naming conventions, and revision tracking according to company standards.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Architectural Engineering — or equivalent technical background with a strong commercial MP track record.
  • Advanced English level, both written and spoken.
  • Proven experience creating U.S. commercial construction drawings.
  • Proven experience in mechanical systems selection and analysis.
  • Minimum 3 years of Mechanical & Plumbing design and drafting experience on commercial projects.
  • Working knowledge of U.S. codes and standards, including IMC, IPC, and ASHRAE.
  • Mechanical analysis: Trane Trace 3D Plus, Carrier HAP, or your preferred equivalent.
  • Drawing production: Revit MEP, AutoCAD MEP.
  • Disciplined file management and willingness to follow drawing standards exactly.
  • A disciplined, responsible, and eager-to-learn mindset.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with schools, fire stations, or multi-family housing projects.
  • Familiarity with Colorado building codes and local amendments, or demonstrated ability to climb a steep code curve fast on previous projects.
  • Experience with energy modeling and high-efficiency systems such as VRF, DOAS, or geothermal.
  • Experience with vehicle exhaust, specialty ventilation, or decontamination systems for public safety facilities.
  • Knowledge of Revit families, BIM coordination, and clash detection workflows.
  • LEED or other green-building documentation experience.

We want to hear from you!
