Mechanical Engineer

Oakwell
Boston, MA


Oakwell is an infrastructure and resource efficiency firm for health systems and higher education. We are a group of engineers, data scientists, financiers, sustainability and real estate experts delivering high-ROI infrastructure projects for health systems across the United States.

Being an Oakwell engineer means being an owner's engineer and their trusted partner. Our engineers take pride in their professional autonomy and combine technical leadership with strategic influence to shape major infrastructure initiatives from concept to completion.

$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. Multiple remote opportunities available.

What you'll drive You will work alongside senior Oakwell engineers and health-system clients to conceptualize and implement 10-year sustainability and decarbonization plans — cutting energy consumption, carbon, and cost; renewing infrastructure and driving electrification; aligning sustainability with the client's real estate master plan; and creating sustainable MEP construction standards.

**This is a remote position with a preference for candidates located near our Boston, MA headquarters**

What you'll do:
  • Audit, benchmark, and document existing facilities and MEP systems — evaluating energy use and carbon against comparable sites, reviewing condition drawings, and gathering plant-operations insight from facility staff.
  • Retro-commission existing mechanical systems: central plant, air handling, terminal equipment, and energy management systems.
  • Develop multi-phase, ROI-driven ECMs (Energy Conservation Measures), estimating savings with our custom energy-modeling software.
  • Produce clear reports on facility conditions, recommendations, cost savings, and ROI — and present findings directly to clients.
  • Complete utility technical-assistance studies to secure efficiency incentives.
  • Prepare scope narratives, EMS points lists and sequences of operations, and scaled drawings and specifications for contractor pricing and installation.
  • Lead construction meetings and commission new systems and controls through implementation.
  • Help build Oakwell's sustainable MEP standards — and the AI and machine-learning tools that make our analysis faster.
What you'll bring:

  • Must have: Bachelor's in Engineering (any field); 5–7 years of experience; a Professional Engineering license or active progress toward one; availability to travel as needed (~20%); competency with Microsoft Office and AutoCAD.
  • Nice to have: Client-facing experience; proficiency in Autodesk Revit and eQUEST; interest in building AI/ML tools that streamline engineering workflows.
Meet most of these and excited by the mission? Apply even if you don't check every box.

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.
