Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer – Forensics

📍 Remote - Office locations throughout the East Coast, Texas, and West Coast.

We are partnering with a

globally respected engineering consultancy

known for solving some of the most complex and high-impact challenges in the built environment. Their work blends rigorous engineering, applied science, and real-world problem solving, often informing critical decisions across major infrastructure, industrial facilities, and high-profile disputes.

This opportunity sits within a

highly regarded forensic engineering practice

, where senior engineers are trusted to lead investigations, develop defensible technical opinions, and contribute to matters that extend well beyond traditional design roles.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer within the forensic practice, you will play a key role in investigating failures, damages, and performance issues across a wide range of building systems and facilities. You will work directly with attorneys, building owners, insurers, contractors, and other stakeholders, providing clear, evidence-based engineering conclusions grounded in sound scientific principles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and conduct forensic investigations involving mechanical systems within the built environment and industrial facilities
• Perform field investigations, condition assessments, root cause analysis, and damage evaluations
• Analyze building codes, standards, construction practices, and professional standards of care
• Manage forensic projects from initial intake through final deliverables
• Prepare clear, well-supported technical reports expressing engineering opinions and conclusions
• Collaborate with internal multidisciplinary teams on complex assignments
• Support business development activities, including industry events and client engagement
• Serve as an expert witness in depositions, mediations, arbitrations, or trials, with firm support and guidance as needed

What We Are Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 6\+ years of experience in mechanical design, investigation, or forensic engineering
• Professional Engineering (PE) license in at least one jurisdiction, with ability to obtain additional licensure
• Strong technical writing skills with the ability to clearly articulate engineering opinions
• Experience managing projects and mentoring or supporting junior engineers
• Ability to work independently while collaborating across disciplines
• Willingness to travel for short durations as required for project work

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Work on

high-impact forensic investigations

rather than routine design projects

• Exposure to

litigation support and expert witness work

• Strong technical reputation and brand recognition within the industry
• Supportive, collaborative culture that values curiosity and engineering excellence
• Long-term career growth within a well-established forensic practice
