Job description

Principal-Level Role Clear Partnership Timeline Pittston, PA (In-Person, Relocation Available)


Take the lead. Shape the future. Own the legacy.

SMA has spent three decades turning complex building puzzles into practical, sustainable solutions across healthcare, higher-ed, mission-critical, and industrial markets. We're searching for a Director of Mechanical Engineering who can elevate our craft today and guide the firm tomorrow.


The Opportunity in a Snapshot
  • Principal-level seat from day one with a tailored equity timeline partnership discussions begin within your first year; majority ownership is realistic within a few more.
  • Geography is ultimately yours to define. Once your team is humming, lead them from the mountains, the beach, or anywhere high-speed internet reaches.
  • Engineer-led culture decisions here are made by practicing engineers, not distant shareholders.
Why SMA?

We're big enough for marquee projects yet small enough that your ideas reach the partners' table before the coffee gets cold. We sponsor youth STEM programs, host Friday BBQs, and donate design services to local recreation centers because we believe engineering should strengthen communities inside and out.


Your Mission

Lead and Grow

  • Set department standards, QA/QC processes, and long-term strategy.
  • Mentor rising engineers; recruit talent that elevates everyone's game.

Win and Deliver

  • Write compelling proposals, shape fees, and secure high-profile work.
  • Oversee HVAC, plumbing, and fire-protection design on projects that test ingenuity and reward excellence.

Innovate and Influence

  • Champion BIM workflows, decarbonization strategies, and next-gen energy modeling.
  • Represent SMA at industry events, strengthening a brand you'll soon help own.
Your Toolkit
  • BSME/BSAE (MS a plus) and an active PE (PA or ability to obtain quickly).
  • 10+ years designing complex building systems with 3+ years leading teams.
  • Proven business-development chops and P&L savvy.
  • Mastery of HVAC design software; Revit and commissioning expertise welcomed.
  • A leadership style that blends rigor with genuine mentorship.
What Success Looks Like

Within 24 months you will:

  1. Install a high-performance mechanical playbook adopted firm-wide.
  2. Grow mechanical revenue and margin by double-digit percentages.
  3. Earn an equity stake and co-author SMA's five-year strategic plan.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base $150k$200k + performance bonuses + partnership dividends.
  • Premium healthcare, 401(k) with 5 % match, profit sharing, and relocation assistance.
  • Generous PTO, paid parental leave, and a sabbatical after five years.
