About the role

Burns & McDonnell seeks a Lead Mechanical Engineer to oversee design and evaluation of mechanical systems for coal and natural gas generation facilities, plus related support facilities. You will manage front-end planning, final design, bidding documents, and construction administration, interfacing with project managers, suppliers, and clients. The role requires leading mechanical design projects, strong communication, and the ability to devise new approaches to complex problems.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
