Job description
Are you a mechanical engineer who enjoys analytical work but is interested in moving beyond traditional engineering?
evcValuation LLC is seeking an early-career engineer interested in building a career that combines engineering, finance, economics, consulting, and client interaction.
This is not a traditional engineering design position. Instead, you will use your engineering background to analyze and value complex industrial assets, including power plants, renewable energy facilities, manufacturing plants, industrial processing facilities, pipelines, and infrastructure.
We are looking for someone with approximately 2–5 years of professional experience who is technically strong, curious about the business and financial side of industry, and comfortable communicating with people. Prior valuation or appraisal experience is not required. We will train the right person.
What You’ll Do
- Perform engineering and financial analyses of complex industrial facilities
- Build, analyze, and review Excel-based valuation and financial models
- Research equipment, construction costs, industrial markets, facility operations, and economic trends
- Analyze financial statements, operating information, and facility data
- Assist in valuing power generation, renewable energy, manufacturing, and other industrial facilities
- Prepare professional appraisal, valuation, and consulting reports
- Conduct site inspections throughout North America
- Meet with plant management, clients, attorneys, and other industry professionals
- Support litigation and consulting engagements
- Participate in industry conferences and business-development activities
- Take on increasing project and client responsibility as your experience grows
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
- Approximately 2–5 years of professional experience
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong Excel skills and an interest in financial analysis
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability and desire to interact professionally with clients and industry professionals
- Interest in finance, economics, valuation, energy, industrial facilities, or consulting
- Willingness to travel periodically throughout North America
- Desire to develop professionally beyond a traditional engineering career path
Experience in power generation, energy, manufacturing, industrial facilities, engineering consulting, finance, accounting, or valuation is helpful but not required.
Why evcValuation?
evcValuation is a specialized valuation and consulting firm serving clients throughout North America. Because we are a small professional firm, you won't be several layers removed from the work or the client.
You will work directly with experienced senior professionals and gain exposure to major industrial facilities and complex financial and valuation issues early in your career.
As you develop, you will have opportunities to:
- Manage valuation and consulting projects
- Work directly with clients and senior decision-makers
- Present your findings
- Develop expertise in the energy and industrial sectors
- Participate in conferences and business development
- Build a specialized professional career combining engineering and finance
This position can be particularly attractive to an engineer who values their technical background but has discovered that traditional engineering may not be the career path they want to pursue long term.
Travel
Periodic travel throughout North America is required for facility inspections, client meetings, conferences, and other professional activities.
How to Apply
Please submit your resume along with a brief note explaining why you are interested in transitioning into valuation and consulting.
Pay: $80,000.00 - $105,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule
- Retirement plan
Application Question(s):
- Are you willing to travel periodically throughout North America for site inspections, client meetings, and conferences?

Mechanical Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a mechanical engineer in Wisconsin?
You become a mechanical engineer in Wisconsin by earning a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from an accredited program, then pursuing licensure through the Wisconsin Examining Board of Engineers, Architects, Landscape Architects, and Geologists. Most candidates start as an Engineer in Training after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, then qualify for the Professional Engineer license after gaining supervised experience and passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam.
How much do mechanical engineers make in Wisconsin?
Mechanical engineers in Wisconsin earn a median of about $95,870 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,850 for the lowest 10% to over $130,360 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mechanical engineers in Wisconsin?
Employers hiring mechanical engineers in Wisconsin right now include Johnson Health Tech, WSP, and JP Cullen, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Wisconsin's industrial base means the largest employers tend to be manufacturers of heavy equipment, control systems, and consumer products, with consistent openings across product design, process engineering, and quality assurance.
Which Wisconsin cities have the most mechanical engineer jobs?
The cities with the most mechanical engineer openings in Wisconsin are Milwaukee, Madison, and Oshkosh. Milwaukee leads because it is home to major headquarters in automation, fluid power, and building systems, while Madison draws engineering roles from the university research sector and medical device companies, and Racine and Kenosha contribute openings tied to large durable-goods manufacturers just south of the metro.
Are there remote mechanical engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields because much of the work involves hands-on testing, equipment access, and plant coordination. About 27% of mechanical engineer openings tied to Wisconsin are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and the roles most likely to carry that flexibility are simulation and FEA analysis, systems modeling, and technical sales support where lab access is not required daily.
How can I get hired as a mechanical engineer in Wisconsin with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to co-op and new-graduate programs at Wisconsin manufacturers, where employers like Kohler, Rockwell Automation, and Briggs and Stratton regularly hire candidates straight out of accredited engineering programs. Roles titled junior mechanical engineer, manufacturing engineer, or quality engineer are common first steps. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early and building a portfolio of SolidWorks or AutoCAD projects gives candidates a clear advantage in a field where Wisconsin employers move quickly on credentialed applicants.
Where can I find and apply to mechanical engineer jobs in Wisconsin?
