SteerBridge Strategies is a modern technology company delivering innovative, mission‑focused solutions to the U.S. Government and private sector. Leveraging deep expertise in federal acquisition, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, we deliver agile, commercial‑grade capabilities that accelerate operational effectiveness and drive measurable mission success.
At the core of SteerBridge is our people—especially the veterans whose leadership, problem‑solving mindset, and commitment to excellence elevate every project we support.

Be part of a historic wave of VA hospital modernization.

We're seeking a Mechanical Engineer with a Plumbing Specialization (CM-MP) to support one of the most active construction programs at the Washington, DC VA Medical Center — a facility currently undergoing major infrastructure upgrades as part of VA's largest-ever single-year modernization investment. Ongoing work at this campus includes the conversion of an inpatient unit into a new 28-bed ICU/Ventilator Unit, rooftop mechanical system upgrades, and coordinated improvements across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure — all while keeping a live, occupied hospital fully operational for the veterans it serves.

This is hands-on, high-visibility work: you'll be engaged in design and construction phases for complex healthcare renovation projects, not routine maintenance. You'll help shape how a major VA medical center adapts its physical plant to modern clinical standards, working alongside a construction management team responsible for pre-design, design, procurement, and construction phase services.
