Jr. Building Engineer

Junior Building Engineer – MEP / Facilities

360 Building Engineering | Hybrid / Remote with Field Work

$90,000–$150,000 base + 10% target annual bonus

Love figuring out how buildings actually work, not just how they look on drawings? 360 Building Engineering is looking for a hands-on technical professional to join our building engineering consulting team.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in HVAC, mechanical systems, facilities, construction, or a related trade who wants to grow into broader MEP and building engineering consulting. A four-year engineering degree is NOT required. We value real field experience.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Perform site investigations, facility assessments, job walks, and equipment surveys
• Review MEP and fire/life-safety drawings for coordination, constructability, and alignment with field conditions
• Review submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and equipment specifications
• Provide field representation during construction, installation, testing, and commissioning
• Identify design conflicts, installation issues, and opportunities for improvement
• Prepare field reports, punch lists, scopes of work, and technical recommendations
• Support equipment startup, functional testing, troubleshooting, and project closeout
• Work directly with clients, architects, engineers, contractors, and facility teams

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of combined relevant experience and technical training, including at least 1 year of direct field experience in commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities
• Backgrounds in HVAC install/service, mechanical or electrical trades, facilities engineering, controls/BMS, commercial construction, commissioning, or similar
• Working knowledge across several areas: HVAC, piping, electrical distribution, plumbing, fire/life safety, roofing, building automation, and construction documents
• Polished, professional communication. You'll represent us with senior clients and explain technical issues to technical and non-technical audiences alike
• Good judgment about when to handle an issue independently and when to escalate
• Strong computer skills: Microsoft Office, PDF markup, cloud collaboration, video conferencing, and a willingness to learn new tools

Nice to have: AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, SketchUp, BMS software, infrared or 360° cameras, or digital test equipment. A degree in engineering, engineering technology, or construction management is welcome but not required.

We encourage applicants from apprenticeships, trade programs, technical schools, military technical training, facilities operations, and other hands-on career paths. You don't need to be an expert in every discipline. We're looking for a solid foundation and a real desire to learn.

WHAT WE OFFER

• $90,000–$150,000 base salary, depending on experience and qualifications
• 10% target annual bonus (roughly $99,000–$165,000 in total target cash compensation)
• Hybrid/remote flexibility
• Full reimbursement of approved travel expenses (airfare, lodging, mileage, and more)
• Structured on-the-job training, ongoing technical training, and direct mentorship
• Broad exposure across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, FLS, roofing, controls, and commissioning
• A clear path to grow into a well-rounded, client-facing building engineering consultant

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Much of the drawing review, documentation, and coordination is done remotely. Field assignments are a core part of the role and may include regional or out-of-area travel, overnight stays, and occasional early-morning, evening, or off-hours work.

If you're equally comfortable in a mechanical room, on a construction site, and in an executive client meeting, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $90,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance
