Job Summary

Do you want to engineer the future of energy efficiency

Join Ecosystem and be part of a team thats transforming how buildings use energy and power. Were on a mission to decarbonize the built environment through bold design heat electrification and hands-on project delivery! If youre a creative MEP Engineer ready to bring cutting-edge solutions in sustainable infrastructure to life this is where your ideas shape the future!

Who we are...

At Ecosystem we believe we should be accountable for results. Thats why weve integrated engineering and construction seeing our projects through from design concept to implementation and commissioning.

Here are some of the projects weve been working on recently in the US:San Diego Padres Stadium Con Edison:Utility Thermal Energy Network;Museum of Arts and Design.

Why this role matters...

In this role youll collaborate closely with clients and stakeholders to design innovative - and at times unconventional- solutions that address the most pressing challenges in sustainable construction and energy retrofits. Youll take full ownership of MEP and HVAC design management across each project from concept through completion. You wont just design systems on paper; youll see your ideas brought to life in real buildings gaining firsthand insight into implementation and experiencing the tangible impact of your work. Youll also play a critical role in monitoring performance post-completion verifying energy savings and ensuring our multimillion-dollar solutions deliver measurable results for our clients. This is an opportunity for engineers who want to own the design process end-to-end thrive with autonomy and are driven by the challenge of shaping complex energy systems that transform how buildings consume energy!
