Why Work with Us? This is the part where most job descriptions jump into the responsibilities and requirements for the role being posted - and we'll get there shortly But we like to start with the why instead of the what.

Our purpose is helping build strong communities through educational opportunity. We focus on projects within the educational ecosystem, from Pre-K through Higher Education and spaces in our community that support lifelong learning.

  • Create and maintain a positive relationship of trust with Clients regarding your area of expertise.

What type of knowledge do I need to succeed in this role?

More than a specific degree and exact number of years of experience, we're most excited about what kind of knowledge you bring. For this role, we are seeking someone with senior knowledge who conceives and owns projects entirely, demonstrates knowledge of industry trends, and leads adoption of new approaches in their area.

Some components that may help indicate you are at this knowledge milestone include more tangible items like:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited program
  • 15+ years relevant experience in mechanical system design
  • Experience coordinating work with multidisciplinary project teams
  • Demonstrated understanding of the creation and interpretation of construction drawings and specifications, mechanical standards, regulations, and building codes
  • Ability to successfully prioritize work, manage multiple projects, and meet tight deadlines
  • Proficiency in MS Office suite, including Teams, Word, Excel and Outlook

What might set you apart from other candidates?

  • Licensed professional engineer (PE) preferred
  • Skill in the use of Autodesk Revit to produce mechanical design documents
  • Comfort with communicating professionally with internal and external customers across all levels of an organization
  • Demonstrated passion for the field of mechanical engineering and architectural engineering consulting field
  • Excellent communication skills

We might be a great match for each other if you are:

  • A self-starter with great time management who thrives in an environment with cross-discipline collaboration and team level decision making
  • An individual who contributes beyond themselves, is motivated by their team's success and works hard to ensure it
  • Someone who enjoys trying new ideas and constantly improving

What you might also like to know:

We're an employee-owned company. This means that 100% of the ownership at GMB is held by us as employees. Our creativity, skills, and expertise have a direct impact on our value and growth. Your role as a teammate will have a direct impact on the company's actions and result in a share in its profits.


GMB doesn't operate within a hierarchical pyramid structure; instead we operate like a network of teams that come together around specific goals working toward our overarching purpose. We think this is a better way to work and help everyone reach their potential.


Finally, at GMB we embrace a flexible workplace that empowers each person to decide where and how they work best. Our inclusive, people-first culture encourages teams to collaborate, communicate and find fulfillment personally and professionally, regardless of location or schedule.
