The Role

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at TAI, you will serve as a technical leader and Subject Matter Expert, driving the design and execution of complex projects within the high-stakes Life Sciences sector. Moving beyond day-to-day drafting, you will focus on high-level project leadership; directing multidisciplinary teams, managing project life cycles from scope to completion, and ensuring the technical integrity of innovative HVAC and mechanical systems.

This role offers the opportunity to shape critical infrastructure for a diverse client base while mentoring a talented team of engineers in a collaborative, excellence-driven environment.

TAI is a full-service, multi-disciplinary engineering and construction firm built to scale; delivering mission-critical, integrated solutions across the full design–build–maintain lifecycle. For more than 35 years, TAI has partnered with leading organizations in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, food and beverage, energy, and government to design, build, and sustain complex facilities and infrastructure. TAI brings deep expertise across five core service pillars:
Engineering, Construction, Systems Integration, On-Site Services, and Technical Services. Our unified approach combines precision engineering, field execution, and technical depth to deliver end-to-end results that drive reliability, safety, and long-term value for our clients.

Team members at TAI are capable, well-rounded, flexible, and optimistic. We have found that the best employees are the ones who recognize the importance of what they do and the ones who let that guide them in the actions they take. More than any skill, we seek people who make decisions that support the common good. We work for our clients, and we work for one another.
