An MEP designer develops and documents a building's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Working with the engineer of record, they lay out ductwork, piping, fixtures, lighting and power, build Revit MEP models, prepare equipment and panel schedules, support load and sizing calculations, and coordinate MEP systems with the architecture and structure.
Mechanical (HVAC) designers; electrical designers for power, lighting and low voltage; plumbing and fire protection designers; and MEP Revit designers who model systems for coordination and prefabrication.

From single-family remodels to multifamily and commercial builds, our professionals have delivered drawings, estimates and schedules for US projects.

A full-time remote MEP designer through HireArchitects starts from $2,599 a month. Junior designers sit around $2,599–$2,799/mo, mid-level $2,899–$3,099/mo and senior designers $3,199–$3,399/mo. One monthly rate, with no placement fee.
Most hold engineering degrees in their home countries. They work under your licensed engineer of record, who keeps responsibility for design decisions and stamping, the same way an unlicensed designer would in a US office.
Our MEP designers have worked on US projects and are familiar with the IMC, IPC, NEC and NFPA requirements their drawings must reflect. Final code review stays with your engineer of record.
Yes. Our MEP designers are based in Latin America, within one to three hours of US time zones, and normally keep full US business hours so they join your meetings and calls live.
Every candidate is interviewed, checked for spoken and written English, and given a practical test based on real MEP designer work. We review portfolios and verify previous experience before anyone reaches your shortlist.
You get a shortlist of three vetted MEP designers within 24 hours of your call. Most clients interview the same week and have their hire working within 24 to 72 hours of choosing.

Usually yes: most firms give their remote hire a seat on the software they use and access to their file server or cloud, so work stays in your systems. Some professionals hold their own licences; we can confirm on the call.
