Mechanical Engineering Lead - PE Required (Hybrid)

About ADC

At ADC, we engineer the systems most people never think about — but every community depends on.

We are a growing engineering consulting firm specializing in water and wastewater infrastructure, serving municipalities and utilities across Washington and Arizona. Our work spans treatment facilities, pump and lift stations, water transmission systems, and operational optimization.

We operate lean. We solve complex problems efficiently. And we take ownership from concept through commissioning.

If you’re a mechanical or industrial engineer who enjoys integrating equipment, optimizing processes, and delivering real-world infrastructure — this is your kind of work.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a narrow design role.

You’ll lead the mechanical and systems backbone of critical infrastructure:

• Pumping systems
• Rotating equipment
• Treatment process equipment
• Pipeline systems
• Controls integration
• Hydraulic performance modeling
• Constructability and lifecycle optimization

You won’t just draft.

You’ll design, coordinate, troubleshoot, and see your systems built.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Support projects through planning, design, permitting, and construction support
• Prepare and review engineering designs, specifications, and cost estimates
• Develop and review AutoCAD drawings for water and wastewater infrastructure
• Perform hydraulic modeling for water and wastewater systems
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to meet project schedules and budgets
• Perform QA/QC to ensure regulatory compliance and technical accuracy
• Support client coordination, meetings, and technical discussions
• Assist with construction administration and field support

Required

• BS in Mechanical, Industrial, Civil, Environmental, or related engineering
• 8+ years of engineering experience
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
• Experience leading design through construction phases
• Proficiency in AutoCAD
• Experience with hydraulic modeling or fluid system analysis
• Strong technical execution and decision-making ability

Especially Valuable for Mechanical & Industrial Engineers

• Pump and rotating equipment selection
• Process optimization and performance improvement
• Energy efficiency analysis
• Treatment facility or industrial plant design
• Reliability engineering or asset management
• Field troubleshooting and commissioning experience

The Engineer Who Thrives Here

You:

• Think in systems, not silos
• Care about constructability and real-world performance
• Like solving hydraulic and mechanical puzzles
• Prefer lean teams with real ownership
• Want your designs to operate reliably for decades

Why ADC

• High-impact infrastructure projects serving real communities
• Performance-based incentives
• Lean, accountable engineering culture
• Direct client exposure and technical leadership opportunities
• The ability to shape projects, not just execute assigned tasks

This is infrastructure engineering with mechanical depth and operational impact.

If you’re ready to design systems that move millions of gallons per day — reliably, efficiently, and intelligently — we’d like to talk.
