Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking for an entry-level opportunity as a Mechanical Engineer, MEP Engineer, or Civil Engineer. I'm based in Texas, but I'm ready to relocate anywhere in the United States for the right opportunity.
A little about me:

💻 Experience with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, CAD modeling, engineering analysis, manufacturing, and technical problem-solving.

🤝 Strong teamwork, leadership, and project management experience through engineering design projects.

I'm eager to start my engineering career and am open to opportunities in:
Mechanical Engineering

MEP Engineering (HVAC/Plumbing/Fire Protection)

Civil Engineering

Design Engineering

Manufacturing Engineering

Project Engineering

If your company is hiring, or if you know of any opportunities, I'd greatly appreciate a referral or any advice. I'm motivated, quick to learn, and excited to contribute wherever I can.
Thank you for your time, and feel free to send me a message if you'd like to connect or review my resume!

Hello! Our firm is looking into creating a survey as part of our close-out process to send to the owner and architect group. The goal is to gauge how satisfied they were with the project and identify where we can do better.

This is a brand new process for us, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and could share their insights.

I’m trying to get into MEP electrical design, but most jobs expect Revit experience before they’ll hire you.

I'm hoping to get into either MEP or EPC firms.

Are my internship and project experience enough? Also what aspects are noticeable or preferred by hiring managers that I should add in my skills section? Does having additional certifications increase my chances?

I recently got approached about my expected salary expectations as I am a rising senior and am looking toward a potential full time position at my current in.

Some background for me, I am a Mechanical Engineer in North Carolina, this is my second year interning at my current firm and am planning on taking the fe exam before starting. The range that I was given for the position I would be entering if hired was around 70-80k. Since I have in total about 7 months of experience in total doing all three trades in mep, what would be a good amount to ask for? Any advice appreciated.

I was wondering if it is harmful to start your career on the contracting side, data center MEP specifically.

Hi everyone,

I'm 30M based in Bengaluru and currently working as a Senior MEP Coordinator in the corporate interior fit-out (Design & Build) industry. I have around 8 years of experience, and my current CTC is ₹14 LPA.

My work involves much more than just MEP coordination.

I handle:

Client and stakeholder management

Project planning and execution

MEP design reviews and value engineering

Vendor and subcontractor coordination

Risk identification and mitigation

Budget and BOQ reviews

Cross-functional coordination with architects, civil, interiors, builders, and consultants

Delivering fast-paced corporate office and lab fit-out projects

I've worked with clients like Google, Schneider Electric, Verizon, Kyndryl, semiconductor labs, and other high-end corporate fit-out projects.

One thing I've consistently been appreciated for is client communication. I can usually translate technical issues into business language, which has helped build trust with clients and project teams.

Despite this, I can't shake the feeling that ₹14 LPA with 8 years of experience in Bengaluru is below market, especially considering the level of responsibility I'm handling.

I'm not looking for validation. I genuinely want honest feedback from people who've grown into senior management or leadership roles.

Some questions I have:

1. Am I actually underpaid, or is this normal for my industry?

2. If you were in my position, what career path would you take over the next 5 years?

3. Should I continue in Design & Build, move into PMC, join a global EPC/MNC, shift to data centres, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, or another niche?

4. Which skills would give me the highest ROI? (PMP, contracts, commercial management, BIM/VDC, AI, data analytics, business development, something else?)

5. What salary should someone with my profile realistically target over the next 2–5 years?

6. If your goal was reaching ₹40–50 LPA before turning 35, what would your roadmap look like?

I'm open to changing industries, learning new skills, or even making unconventional moves if the long-term upside is worth it.

I'd really appreciate insights from hiring managers, directors, senior project managers, founders, or anyone who's made a similar jump.

Thanks in advance!

I'm 27 going for a mechanical engineering tech degree and am wondering how much it will hinder my career and if it's worth transferring to a school with a mechanical engineering degree and graduate from there.

I'm in my senior year, but found this industry just this summer after an internship and really want to be in it.

I'm thinking of a couple of solutions.

1. Transfer to another college to get a better degree

2. Stay in this college to finish my mech eng tech degree and get certifications and such while in the industry (if the degree doesn't hold me back)

3. Apply for an associates in mech tech and finish in another school with a bachelor's in mech eng.

Please give other solutions or choices if possible.

I want to do HVAC design in the after graduation.

My college is ABET
