Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Mechanical Engineers who design HVAC and mechanical systems for buildings where failure is not an option — hyperscale cooling plants, ASHRAE 170 hospital ventilation, cleanroom air change rates, fab process support. PE track, load-calculation rigor, and Revit MEP execution verified before you see a resume.
A structured process for the mechanical hire — where equipment selection, load-calc discipline, and coordination behavior decide whether the plant performs at day-2 load.
30-minute call. Align on system types (chilled water, CRAH/CRAC, AHU, hydronics), sector, PE requirement, design tools, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Mechanical Engineers with sector-matched system experience. Licensure status confirmed and references from prior engineers-of-record included.
Interview, select, and make the offer with market comp data in hand. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — on every engagement model.
Every candidate has designed the systems your project runs on — chilled water plants, air-cooled and liquid cooling for data halls, hospital ventilation, cleanroom HVAC — not just office VAV.
Licensure and FE/PE status confirmed at the source, with engineer-of-record exposure and stamping history mapped to what your seat actually requires.
Reference-verified Revit MEP authorship, Navisworks clash behavior, and responsiveness to the architect, electrical, and plumbing disciplines under CD deadline pressure.
PE or EIT status verified; engineer-of-record and stamping exposure mapped to the seat.
Trane TRACE, HAP, or IES load modeling; equipment scheduling and psychrometric fundamentals probed live.
CRAH/CRAC and liquid cooling, chilled water plants, ASHRAE 170 ventilation, cleanroom ACH and pressurization.
Model authorship, BIM 360/ACC workflow, and clash-resolution ownership referenced with coordinators.
Spec-writing quality, submittal review discipline, and RFI turnaround verified with delivery teams.
ASHRAE 90.1, 62.1, and 170, IMC, and energy code fluency checked against sector requirements.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — system types, PE requirement, design-firm vs. owner-side seat.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–5 weeks. Liquid-cooling and cleanroom specialists are scarcer and can add sourcing time.
Pricing depends on the engagement model. A single hire typically runs through recruiting support; leadership roles through executive search; multi-hire engineering programs through embedded recruiting or RPO. We scope the model on the first call.
In the US market, design mechanical engineers typically earn $85,000–$120,000 base; senior and PE-licensed engineers $115,000–$155,000; principal-level above that. Data center cooling experience commands a clear premium, and ranges shift by metro.
Only when the seat does. For engineer-of-record roles we shortlist licensed PEs; for production and design-support seats we present strong EIT-track engineers with the calc rigor to grow into the stamp.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model — search, embedded, or RPO. If the hire does not stick, we replace them.
Yes. Multi-hire discipline builds — mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers plus BIM staff — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Mechanical Engineer role, system types, licensure requirement, and tools — then start sourcing.
