MEPIS is seeking experienced professionals to work in our Mechanical Department. This position will perform work predominantly in Healthcare and Higher Education. Other markets such as Institutional, Industrial, Commercial, Residential, Government, Hospitality and K-12 facilities will be expected to work on as well and will require the initiative to take the actions needed with minimal supervision. As MEPIS candidate, responsibilities will be broader than in most similar positions, so an ideal applicant will be able to handle a variety of tasks without being pigeonholed into one small segment of the field. We feel this position will be attractive to someone looking for a position of leadership and the ability to grow in competency in more aspects of the field doing work in more complex facilities.
