Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer – MEP Design (All Experience Levels)

This role offers an opportunity for engineers at all experience levels who are passionate about Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) and Fire Protection design to join a dynamic, growing team. You will contribute to the design of building systems for commercial, institutional, healthcare, educational, and retail projects while working alongside experienced professionals in a supportive environment that emphasizes technical excellence, professional development, and long-term career growth.

Responsibilities

• Design Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and Fire Protection systems for regional projects in schools, healthcare facilities, business offices, and retail environments.
• Develop detailed MEP system layouts and documentation using AutoCAD, ensuring accuracy, constructability, and compliance with project requirements.
• Collaborate closely with CAD operators to review, coordinate, and refine drawings, ensuring precision in designs and timely completion of deliverables.
• Support and perform project management tasks, including planning, scheduling, coordination, and communication for small and medium-sized projects.
• Work with other engineers and designers on multi-disciplinary project teams to integrate mechanical systems with overall building design.
• Perform engineering design tasks on large and complex projects under the direction of a principal engineer, including coordination with other project personnel and disciplines.
• Apply knowledge of building codes, standards, and building structures to ensure designs meet applicable regulations and industry best practices.
• Design and coordinate HVAC systems, including chilled water and hot water systems, in alignment with project performance, comfort, and energy-efficiency goals.
• Participate in the design and layout of fire protection and sprinkler systems as part of integrated MEP solutions.
• Review and interpret redline markups, incorporating revisions accurately into design documents.
• Coordinate MEP engineering activities with project stakeholders to support smooth project execution and resolve design issues.
• Demonstrate a strong desire to understand, develop, and refine skills in MEP and Fire Protection system design across school, healthcare, business, and retail projects.
• Utilize MS Office tools to support calculations, documentation, reporting, and communication related to engineering projects.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with internal team members and external partners to ensure alignment on project scope, schedule, and deliverables.
