				Overview:

Mechanical Engineer - Fluids & Valves 

Schaumburg, IL  $75,000-$95,000 DOE

Our client, a consulting engineering firm in Schaumburg, is seeking a mechanically minded engineer to support and manage regional infrastructure projects involving fluids, valves, and piping systems. This role is a hybrid position, blending technical engineering and analysis performed in the office with necessary field work, client interaction, and project coordination across the Chicagoland region.

This position supports a variety of municipal, industrial, and commercial projects involving fluid systems, valve operations, mechanical equipment assessments, and system performance evaluations. The work involves a balance of technical analysis, report generation, and field-based activities, making it ideal for someone comfortable with both office-based engineering and hands-on site work for troubleshooting and validation.

Responsibilities

* Conduct field inspections, testing, and performance evaluations of fluid systems, valves, pumps, and mechanical equipment
* Support design reviews and engineering assessments for regional infrastructure and facility projects
* Prepare technical reports, summaries of field findings, and clear recommendations for clients
* Assist with troubleshooting system issues and validating equipment installations
* Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and safety requirements

Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering preferred; Civil, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering degrees also considered
* 0-5+ years of experience in mechanical systems, fluids, valves, piping, or related technical work
* Demonstrated passion for field work, equipment evaluation, and hands-on problem-solving
* Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, and technical documentation
* Comfortable interacting with clients, contractors, and field personnel

Preferred Experience

* Exposure to pumps, valves, piping systems, or industrial mechanical equipment
* Field engineering, commissioning, or inspection experience
* Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills

Why This Role Stands Out

* Broad exposure to regional consulting projects and real‑world engineering challenges
* Opportunity to grow into project engineering, client management, or specialty technical roles
* Competitive salary $75-95K DOE with full benefits
