+ Lead the mechanical engineering design process for building systems from concept and schematic design through full construction document development.

+ Develop, review, and coordinate mechanical design documents, including drawings, specifications, schedules, and calculations for healthcare projects.

+ Provide construction administration support, including responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and supporting field coordination during construction.

+ Design and coordinate HVAC systems and related mechanical infrastructure for healthcare facilities, including hospital patient floors, procedure suites, and equipment suites.

+ Ensure all mechanical designs comply with applicable ASHRAE standards, mechanical codes, and healthcare-specific codes and guidelines.

+ Identify and resolve design and coordination issues within the mechanical engineering team and with other disciplines.

+ Mentor junior engineers through the full design process, providing guidance, technical review, and feedback to support their development.

+ Collaborate closely with project teams to manage design schedules and support adherence to project budgets.

+ Use Revit and AutoCAD to produce and update mechanical drawings and models, ensuring accuracy and coordination with other trades.

+ Support infrastructure-focused projects by developing robust mechanical solutions for building systems and utilities.

+ Participate in coordination meetings in the office and at project sites as needed to ensure successful project delivery.

+ Document and communicate healthcare project experience, including specific project types and responsibilities, for internal and external stakeholders.

Essential Skills

+ 10-15+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including significant involvement in building systems design.

+ Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related mechanical engineering discipline.

+ Professional Engineer (PE) license.

+ Proven healthcare project experience, including hospital patient floors, procedure suites, equipment suites, and working knowledge of hospital codes.

+ Strong knowledge of ASHRAE standards and mechanical codes and certifications relevant to building systems.

+ Extensive experience and knowledge of HVAC systems design and operation for commercial and healthcare facilities.

+ Proficiency with Revit for mechanical design and modeling.

+ Experience using AutoCAD for mechanical drafting and documentation.

+ Demonstrated ability to manage the mechanical design process from concept through construction documents and construction administration.

+ Strong communication skills with the ability to identify and address issues within the mechanical engineering team.

+ Mentorship skills with experience guiding junior engineers through the full design lifecycle.

+ Infrastructure project experience related to mechanical and HVAC systems.

+ Ability to work effectively in a hybrid environment, coordinating both in-office and remote activities.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

+

Experience with HVAC design for complex healthcare environments, including patient care areas and specialized equipment spaces.

+ Familiarity with construction administration activities such as site visits, coordination with contractors, and field issue resolution.

+ Experience developing and managing design schedules and supporting project budget adherence.

+ Comfort working on multiple projects simultaneously in a collaborative team setting.

+ Ability to clearly document healthcare project experience, including project types, phases, and responsibilities.

Work Environment

The role operates within a hybrid work model built around a 36-hour base workweek. On Mondays and Wednesdays, you work 8 hours per day remotely, either from home or from project sites when needed. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, you work 8 hours per day in the Jenkintown office, where the entire team is on-site for coordination, collaboration, and any required site visits.

Fridays consist of a 4-hour remote workday from home. The environment emphasizes team-based coordination, regular in-office collaboration, and the use of Revit, AutoCAD, and other engineering tools to deliver high-quality mechanical designs for healthcare and infrastructure projects.
