MEP Engineer (Part Time, Florida) 6346

MEP Engineer (Part Time, Florida)Are you a true generalist MEP engineer who can carry the full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing scope on a luxury custom home — and deliver systems that are as thoughtful as the architecture around them? Do you believe HVAC should run quietly, lighting should feel intentional, and plumbing should disappear until the moment someone reaches for the faucet? One of our Florida-based clients is looking for a Part-Time MEP Engineer to design high-end custom residences from Design Development through Construction Documents. This is a flexible, part-time role with availability to work aligned with Eastern Time (EST).
