ABOUT MECA

Meca Enterprises is a specialized engineering firm based in Broken Arrow, OK with 25+ years serving industrial clients worldwide. Our work centers on structural analysis and design for process equipment—primarily air-cooled heat exchangers, steel stacks, and flare systems—plus proprietary software tools and field solutions for stack vibration problems.

We’re a small, technically deep team. Low bureaucracy, few meetings, clear expectations. Engineers here own their work end-to-end and build direct client relationships.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

We’re hiring to add senior capacity and reduce key-person risk as the business grows. You’ll work alongside the owner and an experienced engineer, learning Meca’s systems and standards before taking on full project ownership. The long-term expectation is that you run engineering independently—quoting, designing, and delivering with minimal oversight.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

Equipment breakdown (typical):

Air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs): ~60% of workload
Steel stacks and flares: ~25%
Custom/specialty requests: ~15%

Day-to-day responsibilities:

Structural analysis and design reports for ACHEs, stacks, vessels, piping supports, and related components
Quoting engineering services from client specifications and drawings
Direct client communication—email, phone, and occasional on-site
Code research and application across a range of standards (AISC, ASME, API, IBC, international codes)
Coordination with Meca’s software team to resolve engineering questions

──────────

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AT 12 MONTHS

Independently evaluating and quoting most engineering projects
Proficient on ACHEs and standard stacks with minimal review required
Trusted to communicate directly with clients and manage revisions
Taking high-level tasks and owning them through delivery
Freeing up leadership time—work moves forward without being prompted

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural or Mechanical Engineering (ABET preferred)
5+ years of structural engineering experience

WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR

This is not a good fit if you:

Need close supervision or structured task lists to stay productive
Prefer handing problems up rather than researching and proposing solutions
Are uncomfortable in a small-company environment where roles overlap
Don’t treat deadlines as commitments
Aren’t willing to be accountable for the quality of your own work

──────────

HOW WE WORK

Independent work environment—you’ll own your projects, not just tasks
Minimal meetings and low administrative overhead
Trust and autonomy increase as you demonstrate judgment and follow-through
Documentation matters—we build shared knowledge, not individual silos
We use AI tools where they reduce repetition; comfort with emerging tools is a plus
