Mechanical Engineer – Plumbing & Fire Protection

Job Description

We’re conducting a search on behalf of a well-established MEP consulting firm in Syracuse with a deep, stable book of higher education and institutional work across Central New York. This is a firm with long-term client relationships, a full project pipeline, and a team small enough that your contributions are visible and your growth is real.
They’re looking to add a Plumbing & Fire Protection Engineer who wants more than a drafting seat. Someone ready to take ownership of projects, engage directly with clients, and be a meaningful part of how work gets done.

What You’ll Be Doing
Designing plumbing and/or fire protection systems for higher education and institutional projects
Developing calculations, layouts, and construction documents in AutoCAD and/or Revit
Coordinating with internal MEP disciplines, architects, and external project stakeholders
Participating in client meetings and site visits as a technical contributor
Taking on increasing project responsibility as your role matures

What We’re Looking For
~3–8+ years of experience in plumbing and/or fire protection design
~ Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
~ PE license required, or EIT actively working toward licensure
~ Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit
~ Strong communication skills, comfortable working with clients and cross-functional teams
~ Project management experience is a bonus, not a requirement
