The Engineer is responsible for guiding customers through the full lifecycle—from conceptual design and estimating through installation—while ensuring exceptional communication and smooth project turnover to the service team. This is not a cold calling position— all client engagement is driven by existing relationships and inbound opportunities.

• Oversee active projects to ensure scope, schedule, and performance expectations are met
• Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, and construction teams to align deliverables
• Maintain proactive communication with clients throughout execution
• Ensure a clean and complete turnover to the service/support team post-installation

• Support conceptual and preliminary ventilation system layouts using AutoCAD
• Assist in defining system requirements, equipment specifications, and performance parameters
• Troubleshoot and optimize systems by identifying inefficiencies or design modifications
• Contribute to testing, validation, and continuous improvement efforts for client solutions

• Bachelor’s or Associate degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or equivalent relevant experience
• Experience with industrial systems, HVAC, or mechanical equipment preferred
• Proficient in AutoCAD modeling and interpreting engineering drawings
• Strong communication and customer-facing skills
• Capable of thriving both on shop floors and in client facilities—not a desk-only role
