Senior Mechanical Engineer, Washington

Overview:
GFT is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support a variety of projects in the West Region. This role follows a hybrid work model, requiring regular attendance at our Fife, WA office. 

 

At Gannett Fleming TranSystems, the Mechanical team is dedicated to creating efficient, innovative solutions , ensuring comfort and sustainability in every project. From energy-efficient power systems to advanced HVAC and plumbing designs, our team contributes to a resilient and sustainable built environment, pushing the boundaries of building system design and optimizing performance while addressing the unique needs of each facility. 

 

Responsibilities:
What you'll be challenged to do:

Our engineers enjoy working on a diverse range of projects in a variety of sectors, including schools, military, healthcare, municipal, institutional, commercial, and multi-family residential. The Puget Sound region is bustling with growth and development, making it the perfect place for an abundance of engineering firms. In a field full of potential employers, we think there are three main things that set us apart - our size, reputation, and location.

Size:We'd like to think our office is the perfect size - big enough to bring in exciting and varied work, but small enough to operate out of a single office and maintain that family feel. You'll know each of your coworkers by name, manage your jobs from design through construction, interact regularly with company owners, and have increased opportunities to take on new challenges.

Location:It's well known that the commute to Seattle and its suburbs can be pretty grueling. The Tacoma office avoids the bumper-to-bumper traffic with our easy-to-access location in the South Sound. We have ample free parking and a large office that we regularly utilize for gatherings like lunch and learns, summer BBQs, espresso carts, and ping pong.

This is an excellent career opportunity for an experienced, motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer who thrives in a collaborative team environment. The role highlights a customer-focused mindset and a passion for delivering exceptional quality and results on every project.
