Mechanical Project Engineer

Engagement: 12–18 Month Contract | High Likelihood of Permanent Placement

Join a Growing, Forward-Thinking EPC Organization

We are partnering with an established and expanding EPC firm with a strong reputation in the chemical processing industry. The organization is known for engineering excellence, successful project delivery, and investment in future-state initiatives that position them for long-term growth. With a robust project pipeline and additional opportunities on the horizon, this role offers both immediate impact and long-term career potential.

We are seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer with strong EPC chemical plant experience to join a growing Houston-based team. This role offers the opportunity to work across the full project lifecycle — from FEED through detailed engineering (Phase II & III) and construction handover — contributing to meaningful, high-visibility projects.

This is more than a contract role. With consistent incoming work and strategic expansion underway, there is a strong likelihood of permanent placement for high performers.

• Lead and support mechanical design activities for chemical plant projects
• Contribute to engineering efforts from FEED through detailed design and construction handoff
• Review and validate:
  • P&IDs
  • Line lists
  • Mechanical specifications and design documents
• Collaborate cross-functionally with process, piping, instrumentation, and construction teams
• Provide technical input during design reviews and support constructability planning
• Help resolve field and technical issues during execution phases
• Ensure engineering deliverables meet quality, safety, and compliance standards

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 5–8+ years of experience in EPC and chemical plant environments (closer to 8 years preferred)
• Demonstrated experience in plant design and project lifecycle execution
• Strong understanding of FEED, detailed engineering, and construction transition processes
• Experience reviewing and developing P&IDs, line lists, and equipment specifications
• Ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced project environment

• Long-term engagement with strong potential for permanent conversion
• Stable and expanding project pipeline
• Exposure to impactful chemical processing projects
• Opportunity to grow within a respected, future-focused EPC organization
• Houston-based role in the West Katy area

If you’re a mechanical engineer looking for both stability and upward mobility within a growing organization, this is an excellent opportunity to make a measurable impact while positioning yourself for long-term career growth.
