Professional Plumbing Engineer
Employer: Meade Engineering
Location: Austin, TX
Pay: Competitive — see posting for salary details
Type: Full-time — Professional / Engineering (Plumbing design for commercial & mission-critical projects)
What You’ll Do
-
Lead plumbing system design for data centers, industrial, and large commercial projects (domestic water, sanitary, storm drainage, gas).
-
Produce and review Revit plumbing models and construction documents; coordinate MEP system integration.
-
Perform plumbing design calculations and ensure compliance with codes, NFPA standards, and project requirements.
-
Select equipment/fixtures for efficiency and performance, review submittals/RFIs, and support site visits/field verification.
-
Mentor junior engineers and oversee project deliverables, schedules, and client coordination.
Why It Stands Out
-
Work on technically demanding, high-impact projects (data centers, mission-critical facilities) with strong employer benefits and emphasis on technical leadership.
-
Employer covers medical premiums (posting indicates comprehensive benefits) and offers tuition assistance, bonuses, and a structured professional environment.
-
Heavy Revit use and leadership responsibility — good for experienced plumbing engineers who want design ownership and team mentoring.
Potential Trade-offs
-
Requires PE licensure and substantial plumbing design experience (7+ years preferred), which narrows applicant pool.
-
High-responsibility role with complex code and coordination demands; may involve tight deadlines and site travel.
-
Bay/mission-critical projects often require strict documentation and availability for client meetings and field verification.
Qualifications / Requirements
-
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/related engineering; active PE license required.
-
~7+ years professional plumbing design experience for large commercial/industrial projects (data center experience a plus).
-
Proficiency in Revit for plumbing system design, strong knowledge of plumbing codes, and experience with equipment selection and calculations.
-
Strong communication, project management, and mentoring skills.
Perks / Benefits
-
Comprehensive benefits package (medical/dental/vision with strong employer contribution), 401(k), paid time off, yearly performance bonus eligibility, and professional development support.
-
Opportunity to shape plumbing design on high-profile, technically advanced projects and lead a small team.
