About the Role

We are seeking a Plumbing Designer to join our MEP team. You will design and coordinate plumbing and fire protection systems across a wide variety of project types, where your contributions are visible and your work gets built.

  • Coordinating with our MEP team across disciplines
  • Assisting with site surveys and field verification
  • Applying and staying current with relevant codes — Illinois Plumbing Code, IPC, and NFPA

  • A talent for spatial and systems thinking
  • Someone who takes ownership of their work and stays on top of their own workload
  • A clear, collaborative communicator
  • Genuine interest in building a long-term career in plumbing design
  • Transferable skills from nontraditional backgrounds are welcome — aptitude and potential matter more to us than a conventional career path.

Helpful but Not Required

  • Revit or AutoCAD experience specifically
  • Background in construction, trades, engineering, or a related technical field
  • Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field
  • Certified Plumbing Designer (CPD) certification or interest in pursuing certification is a plus

Benefits

  • Year-end bonus: Discretionary, reflecting company performance and individual factors including merit, seniority, and expertise
  • Hybrid work schedule, negotiable
  • Flexible hours
  • Health, dental, & vision insurance
  • FSA: Pre-tax dollars for medical & dependent care
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • PTO: Vacation time that grows with tenure, paid holidays, parental leave
  • Professional development: Employees who choose to pursue certifications are reimbursed for exam fees and renewals
