Senior Project Engineer

• Applies experience-based knowledge of engineering principles and practices
• Provides technical analysis and review for design-build projects related to HVAC, controls, lighting, and other building systems
• Acts as an internal and external technical resource for complex and advanced engineering projects
• Performs expert design engineering, including building heating/cooling loads, building envelope, pump and fan design, duct and pipe sizing and layout, drawings and project documentation, technical reports, managing RFI process, leading technical project development engineering efforts, leading site audit activities, and assisting in initial site visits and vetting of new project opportunities
• Drives improvement of data capture and analysis technology for the project engineering team
• Develops data logging plans, deploys and retrieves data logging equipment, analyzes data sources, and proposes sequence improvements or service recommendations
• Leads scope identification, equipment selection, and defines overall project basis of design
• Correlates the energy model simulation to real world control sequences and setpoints
• Specifies expert-level control sequences to improve efficiency, operational reliability, and interoperability between disparate building systems
• Performs expert energy modeling using simulation software such as Trane TRACE 700, hourly spreadsheet analysis, or other simplified spreadsheet analysis
• Customizes software and spreadsheets to deliver high quality technical results, reports, standardized tools, and presentations
• Performs system layout, equipment selections, basis of design, and detailed system design for project engineering and cost estimating efforts
• Manages creation of project documentation drawings in AutoCAD, Revit, and/or MS Visio
• Manages work with third-party consulting engineers by creating scopes of work, identifying quality consultants, and reviewing work product to ensure quality results
• Interfaces closely with consulting engineers performing subcontract energy or design engineering to provide consultants with relevant data and to review consultants’ work product
• Supports commissioning and performance assurance activities by conducting post-implementation site visits, troubleshooting performance issues, and revising energy models or calculations to reflect design or facility operational changes
• Leads creation of detailed scope documents suitable for use in construction pricing efforts across a range of disciplines including mechanical, electrical, controls, lighting, equipment, TAB, commissioning, building envelope, and structural
• Demonstrates understanding of construction pricing, processes, and schedules
• Assists Project Managers with scope development and project management tasks
