Mechanical engineers · Open now

Mechanical engineers, matched on systems work and how you collaborate.

HVAC and plumbing design, load calcs, specs and sealed drawings. Matching looks at the depth of each skill you check, confirmed by people who worked with you.

Free to join. In your browser, on iPhone and on Android.

What the skills checklist starts with

Your checklist starts pre-checked from your role. You uncheck what you don't do and pick a depth for the rest: learning, some skill, independent, can supervise, or expert. Nothing counts until you confirm it.

Work you might do

  • Design HVAC and plumbing systems
  • Run load and energy calculations
  • Run engineering calculations
  • Produce construction documents
  • Write specifications
  • Review and seal drawings
  • Make construction-phase site visits

Tools

  • Autodesk Revit
  • AutoCAD
  • Trane TRACE
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Bluebeam Revu

How it works for mechanical engineers

Licenses

Common here: Professional engineer (PE), Engineer in training (EIT). A license with its number counts for matching; verification is optional.

Trade partners you might meet

Electrical engineers, mechanical drafters, architects and the contractors who build your systems.

Where you'd meet

On site, at the trailer, the shop or the office. Field roles always meet in person.

Peers one field over

An MEP engineer and an architect at a similar stage make a strong peer match: the same projects, seen from two sides.

Questions

Do mechanical engineers need a résumé?

No. You answer a tap-only questionnaire, check your skills and how deep each one goes, play a few short work stories, and invite people to vouch for you.

How is my license shown?

Entered with its number and state, it counts for matching right away and shows as "Self-reported". Verification ($29.99) adds a "Verified" badge. The number is never shown.

Can I meet over video?

Not yet. A timed 30-minute video meetup is planned for project work in this field, when both sides are ID-verified. Hiring and networking meet in person.
