Mechanical Engineer Senior

A well-established MEP consulting engineering firm with over four decades of experience delivering complex institutional projects across the Intermountain West.

The firm is looking for a senior mechanical engineer who is ready to transition from contributor to leader - someone who can develop clients, build a team, drive revenue, and own the P&L of a new market from the ground up. You will have the backing of an established firm with the autonomy to shape the Cheyenne presence from day one.

Why Work With Us

This is a rare opportunity to take real ownership of a market. You are not walking into a built-out office with a team already in place - you are building it. The firm has the reputation, the resources, and the project pipeline. They need someone with the vision and drive to plant a flag in Cheyenne and grow it into something significant. If you have spent your career developing your craft and are ready to lead at a higher level, this is the right move.
