Job Description

TEEMA is hiring a Senior MEP Engineer / Practice Builder in the Greater Phoenix Market (onsite) to launch and scale a Healthcare & Mission-Critical MEP engineering practice. This is a seller-doer executive leadership role with end-to-end autonomy, combining market pursuit, technical delivery, commissioning oversight, and long-term account expansion. If you enjoy building relationships and leading complex engineering work, this role offers a clear path to shape the practice from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

Lead the strategic growth and market expansion of an MEP practice focused on healthcare systems, data centers, and mission-critical infrastructure.
Operate as a lead seller-doer, building direct relationships with hospital networks, data center operators, developers, architects, general contractors, and public agencies across Arizona.
Own the pursuit pipeline including proposals, scopes of work, fee negotiations, competitive interviews, and project capture strategies.
Serve as both a strategic and technical advisor to executive-level client stakeholders.
Provide senior technical oversight for high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering deliverables.
Stay hands-on with conceptual design, high-level calculations, system redundancy modeling, technical reviews, and QA/QC procedures.
Lead complex projects across the full lifecycle: conceptual planning, detailed design, construction administration, commissioning, and final handover.
Ensure designs emphasize reliability, N+1/2N redundancy, energy efficiency, maintainability, constructability, and strict code compliance.
Recruit, mentor, and retain top-tier engineers, designers, and project managers to build a high-performing local team.
Set initial practice structure, project workflows, and technical delivery standards as revenue scales.
Balance practice profitability, staff utilization, business development targets, and delivery schedules.
Foster a collaborative culture built on technical rigor, accountability, client service, and professional development.
Define market strategy, shape service offerings, recruit your core engineering team, and establish a prominent practice across the Southwest.
Take complete ownership of the client lifecycle, from initial market pursuit through engineering execution, commissioning, and long-term account expansion.

Core Markets and Project Sectors

Healthcare: acute-care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, complex clinical environments, medical gas systems, central utility plants, and phased renovations within active operational facilities.
Mission-Critical: Tier III/IV data centers, high-density computing facilities, critical emergency power systems, standby generators, UPS systems, central cooling plants, and redundant electrical distribution.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Architectural, or related Engineering discipline.
Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
Active Arizona PE registration (or immediate reciprocity eligibility) is highly preferred.
10–15+ years of progressive MEP design and project management experience, with a heavy emphasis on healthcare, hospital, or data center environments.
Proven seller-doer track record with demonstrated success developing client networks, winning proposals, and expanding existing accounts.
Established relationships within the Phoenix/Arizona architecture, engineering, construction, or healthcare/tech owner communities strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to lead complex engineering projects, mentor junior talent, and interface confidently with executive decision-makers.

Compensation and Position Type

Salary: USD 150,000 - 200,000 per year

Benefits: 150K-200K + very high bonus potential

Position Type: Full-Time / Executive Leadership
