MEP and Energy Systems Lead (Design Authority, Energy Strategy, Microgrid Integration)

Apply Now
Hybrid

Elysium is pioneering the future of human living through a new category: experiential real estate communities. These are buildouts engineered for high experience yield—where comfort, reliability, and operating cost are designed into the system, not patched on later.

This is not “MEP as a support function.”
This is MEP as the nervous system of a new kind of village.

The mission (what you’ll actually do)

You are the design authority for MEP and energy systems from master planning through commissioning.

You will:

  • Define the full MEP strategy: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, controls, metering, redundancy.
  • Architect the energy plan: solar + storage + load management + demand response where viable.
  • Drive microgrid integration and resilience planning (islanding logic, critical loads, failure modes).
  • Own energy modeling and OPEX forecasting: the system must work economically, not just technically.
  • Lead design coordination across architecture, utilities, procurement, and construction.
  • Build standards that scale from pilot village to future cities.

Profile we’re looking for (non-negotiables)

  • 12–20+ years in MEP design leadership for complex projects (campus / mixed-use / high-performance buildings).
  • Fluent in energy strategy, controls, commissioning, and real-world constructability.
  • Track record delivering systems that are maintainable, efficient, and resilient.
  • Strong first-principles mindset: you simplify designs without sacrificing performance.

What you’ll build in your first 90 days

  • An end-to-end MEP + energy architecture for the MVP village (with scaling logic baked in).
  • A critical-loads and resilience plan with explicit redundancy decisions.
  • A commissioning and controls strategy that prevents “smart building theater.”
  • A bill-of-systems approach that reduces parts count and long-term maintenance load.
