Permanent hires

Our permanent search service, offered through contingent or retained recruitment, helps you secure MEP engineers and specialists who can make a lasting impact on your business.

Contract hires

Through our extensive network of contractors and interim professionals, we provide skilled MEP engineers who can integrate quickly into your teams and deliver on short-term project goals.

Multi-hire projects

We take a consultative approach, managing the full recruitment process from sourcing to onboarding. For large-scale MEP projects, we deliver multiple hires across all phases to ensure every technical requirement is met.

Time-to-hire for MEP engineers depends on the role, location, and level of specialization. In high-demand markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago, competition for talent can make hiring slower. Through LVI Associates, many clients are able to connect with pre-qualified MEP engineers in as little as one to two weeks for mid-level roles. Senior hires, such as lead design engineers or project managers, may take longer due to the narrower talent pool. Our recruitment process is designed to reduce delays and shorten hiring timelines by leveraging an established national network of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing specialists.

Across the U.S., companies are hiring MEP engineers with expertise in:

• Sustainable design and energy efficiency for projects aligned with green building standards (LEED, WELL).
• CAD/Revit and BIM modeling for design, coordination, and project delivery.
• Mechanical system design and installation including HVAC, piping, and ductwork.
• Electrical systems engineering covering power distribution, lighting, and renewable integration.
• Plumbing engineering including water systems, fire protection, and code compliance.

These skill sets are critical to meeting the technical requirements of modern infrastructure and building projects.

Demand is strongest in states and cities with large-scale construction, infrastructure, and energy projects. Key hiring locations include:

• New York City (high-rise, commercial, and residential developments)
• Houston and Dallas (energy and industrial projects)
• Los Angeles and San Francisco (sustainable design and large commercial builds)
• Chicago (infrastructure modernization and transit projects)
• Washington, D.C. (government and public sector developments)

Our consultants at LVI Associates recruit across all major U.S. regions, helping companies secure the right MEP engineers where demand is highest.

Yes. For urgent roles, we provide contract MEP engineers who can start immediately and integrate into ongoing projects. For permanent hires, we leverage our national database and referral networks to reduce time-to-hire. Clients with multi-hire needs—such as building out entire project teams—benefit from our consultative approach, where we manage sourcing, selection, and hiring across all required MEP roles.

Generalist recruiters often lack insight into the technical skill sets and licensing requirements of MEP engineers. At LVI Associates, we specialize in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing recruitment across the U.S., which means we can quickly identify candidates with the right mix of skills, certifications, and project experience. Our market knowledge of key U.S. hiring hubs, combined with relationships across the engineering sector, allows us to place candidates faster and with stronger long-term results.
