Being an Oakwell engineer means being an owner's engineer and their trusted partner. Oakwell is a real estate and infrastructure firm that provides capital, engineering, and project delivery services to hospitals and universities. Our engineers take pride in their professional autonomy and combine technical leadership with strategic influence to shape major infrastructure initiatives from concept through completion.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you are the owner's engineer clients rely on: the technical lead who owns decarbonization programs end-to-end, from concept to completion, with the professional autonomy and strategic influence to shape how major infrastructure initiatives get delivered. $670M+ saved across 150+ projects — and counting. That efficiency is on track to expand access to healthcare and education for 1,000,000 people. We are looking for partners to help us get there.

**This is a remote opportunity with a preference that candidates be located in the Northeast**

What you'll own:

Lead 10-year sustainability and decarbonization plans for health-system clients — from benchmarking through funded, verified ECMs — cutting energy, carbon, and operating cost.
Own retro-commissioning and energy modeling across central plant, air handling, terminal equipment, and energy management systems, using our custom modeling software.
Develop investment-grade ECMs and sustainable MEP standards that clients adopt as their own.
Serve as the client- and construction-facing lead through implementation and commissioning, and present findings and recommendations directly to owners.
Secure efficiency incentives through utility technical-assistance studies.
Shape the AI/ML tooling that scales our analysis, and mentor the engineers coming up behind you.

What you'll bring:

Must have: Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering; 10–15 years of experience; Professional Engineering license; deep energy-modeling and retro-commissioning experience; a track record developing ROI-driven ECMs; availability to travel as needed (~20%).
Nice to have: Healthcare or other mission-critical facility experience; investment-grade audits; automation or tool-building; proficiency in Revit and eQUEST; ASHRAE/IBPSA involvement.

If you meet most of these and are excited by the mission, we want to hear from you.

What makes you a great Oakwell teammate?

You take ownership and demonstrate agency to drive projects forward.
Working collaboratively in a team is second nature to you.
You thrive in ambiguity and changing priorities while delivering with consistency.

Benefits & Perks:

Medical, Dental & Vision · Company-paid life and Short/Long-term Disability Insurance · HSA + Medical and Dependent-Care FSAs · Voluntary Accident & Critical-Illness Coverage · 401(k) with Company Match · Paid Company Holidays and PTO · Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Location & Compensation:

Remote, with travel to client sites as needed (~20%). Competive Compensation and Benefits. Send your resume and a short note on what draws you to Oakwell to hr@oakwellteam.com.
