Join Our Team iBUILT is transforming the way the world builds by integrating technology, standardized design and industrialized offsite manufacturing to deliver better quality buildings, more safely, quickly and efficiently. We are rethinking the entire design, development and construction process and developing a state-of-the-art technology platform that will seamlessly integrate planning, design, detailing, offsite manufacturing and onsite assembly to create buildings that are more sustainable, meet the highest standards nationally, and are “smarter” than those that result from a traditional development approach.
We are looking for an MEP Engineer to lead the in-house team to develop mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC designs and contribute to the engineering of modular buildings. As senior MEP engineer you will have primary oversight over a team of engineers and draftspersons in designing mechanical designs for volumetric steel modular residential, commercial, multi-family, hospitality, retail and industrial buildings, both in traditional construction modalities, as well as through new innovative modes and methods using new materials and technologies to create better, stronger, lighter, more-sustainable, water and mold resistant, energy efficient buildings.
You will work collaboratively with our outstanding team of dedicated creative teammates, including architects, fabricators, contractors, and other engineers, in the development of new company standards.
The successful candidate will be required to have a PE accreditation and will sign/seal project documents when required.
