Mechanical Engineer

Job Title:

Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

This role is ideal for a mechanical engineer with 3-5 years of experience who is passionate about complex building systems and advanced technology environments. You will design and coordinate HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems for highly technical facilities, including aerospace, high tech, data centers, higher education, industrial, and healthcare projects. The position offers exposure to unique, non-cookie-cutter engineering challenges, a strong growth path toward project management or principal-level leadership, and the opportunity to work in a collaborative, high-performing team environment.

Responsibilities

* Design and engineer HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems for a wide range of commercial and industrial facilities, including aerospace, high tech, data centers, higher education, industrial, and healthcare projects.

* Develop mechanical system layouts, calculations, and specifications using tools such as Revit, CAD, and Bluebeam to produce accurate and coordinated construction documents.

* Participate in the design of complex, one-of-a-kind engineering solutions such as environmental chambers, launch test facilities, manufacturing spaces, clean rooms, and other advanced technology environments.

* Collaborate closely with cross-disciplinary teams, including mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineers, to ensure integrated and efficient building system designs.

* Coordinate with clients, architects, and contractors to understand project requirements, present design concepts, and address technical questions throughout the project lifecycle.

* Support and, depending on project size, lead project teams, providing guidance and coaching to junior staff and contributing to their technical development.

* Assist project managers with planning, scheduling, and execution of projects, including client interface, coordination meetings, and managing design deliverables.

* Take ownership of assigned tasks and deliverables, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with client expectations and project standards.

* Contribute to innovative approaches in design processes and workflows, seeking continuous improvement in how mechanical engineering work is performed.

* Maintain a proactive, positive, and team-oriented attitude, participating in a culture where the team wins and loses together and supports each other in meeting commitments.

* Demonstrate accountability by owning your work, following through on commitments, and maintaining high professional standards in front of clients and internal stakeholders.

Essential Skills

* 3-5 years of mechanical engineering experience focused on HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems.

* Engineering-in-Training (EIT) or Professional Engineer (PE) license required.

* Hands-on experience in commercial or industrial construction environments, such as power, manufacturing, or similar facility types.

* Proficiency in mechanical engineering principles related to building systems design, including load calculations, equipment selection, and system layout.

* Experience working on projects in aerospace, high tech, data centers, higher education, industrial, or healthcare facilities, or similar complex environments.

* Ability to work effectively in a team-based setting, collaborating with other engineers and project stakeholders.

* Strong communication skills for client coordination, meetings, and interfacing with internal and external project teams.

* Demonstrated ability to take responsibility for project tasks and deliverables, with a high level of accountability and follow-through.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

* Experience using Revit for mechanical system modeling and documentation.

* Experience with CAD software for drafting and design coordination.

* Familiarity with Bluebeam for document review, markups, and collaboration.

* Background in designing building systems for specialized facilities such as clean rooms, environmental chambers, and launch test or manufacturing facilities.

* Interest in working on highly technical, non-cookie-cutter projects that may present unique engineering challenges rarely seen in a…
