Plan B Climatech has announced the expansion of its Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) talent advisory services into Texas, supported by the opening of a new office in Dallas.

The expansion is led by the appointment of Elijah Graham and Hailey Devillier as Co-Heads of Texas MEP. Operating from the firm’s Dallas office, Graham and Devillier will lead Plan B Climatech’s MEP talent offering across the state, with regional coverage spanning Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and Houston. The move follows more than two years of growth for Plan B Climatech across the East Coast.

Texas represents one of the fastest-growing engineering and construction markets in the U.S., driven by population growth, large-scale commercial development, and accelerating investment in data centers and critical infrastructure. At the same time, the sector faces a widening talent gap as experienced engineers retire and demand for specialist MEP expertise continues to increase.

Plan B Climatech’s Texas expansion aims to address this challenge through a focused, advisory-led approach. The firm specializes exclusively in MEP staffing, supporting clients to secure skilled engineering professionals in highly competitive, supply-constrained markets.

Commenting on the expansion, Jack Rawcliffe, the founder of Plan B Climatech, said:

“Opening a Dallas office is a major milestone for us and reflects how seriously we are investing in Texas. Dallas, Austin and Houston are three of the most important engineering markets in the country, and having a dedicated, on-the-ground presence allows us to partner more closely with our clients and candidates across the state.”

Elijah Graham brings extensive experience building and scaling talent markets, having previously established and expanded engineering staffing operations across multiple states. His background includes advising both large, multi-office engineering firms and early-stage consultancies, supporting leadership hires and specialist technical growth at both ends of the market.

Hailey Devillier has a strong track record in engineering and infrastructure talent, with experience developing regional markets across the Midwest and collaborating on multi-state engagements. Together, Graham and Devillier form a leadership team with complementary skill sets and a shared focus on high performance, client advisory, and long-term market development.

Looking ahead, Plan B Climatech has set out a clear growth plan for its Texas operation. Over the next 24 months, the firm intends to scale its local presence to 24 professionals based in Texas, building a high-performing, specialist team focused on MEP staffing and workforce solutions.

Graham and Devillier commented jointly:

“Texas is not just a growth market for us, it’s a proving ground. By establishing a Dallas base while actively covering Austin and Houston, we can stay close to the projects, firms, and talent shaping the state’s future. Our focus is on long-term partnerships and delivering specialist MEP talent where it matters most.”

Plan B Climatech will operate across Texas using a regional model, emphasizing face-to-face engagement, market intimacy, and sustained client relationships.
