You will serve as a MECHANICAL ENGINEER in the Planning, Design, and Construction (PDC) Branch, Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC) Newport of NAVFAC ENGINEERING CMD MID-ATLANTIC.

You will complete complex in-house engineering design packages (i.e. construction drawings, technical specifications, design-build (DB) Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and comprehensive mechanical/plumbing plans for military construction projects). You will manage/review technical submittals, construction documents, and design calculations to ensure strict compliance with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), safety regulations, and Navy design standards. You will serve as the technical lead and project manager for the engineering phases of both Design-Build (DB) and Design-Bid-Build (DBB) acquisition paths, coordinating multi-discipline design efforts from conceptual planning through final award.

You will function as the senior technical authority in facility mechanical engineering disciplines, providing engineering guidance. You will perform and review highly complex engineering analyses, including heating and cooling load calculations, heat and mass transfer, fluid flow (duct and pipe sizing), piping thermal flexibility, and piping stress/support analyses. You will provide critical engineering support (i.e. conducting on-site inspections, resolving complex field troubleshooting issues, reviewing material submittals, and overseeing system testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB)).

You will coordinate mechanical requirements with other engineering disciplines (electrical, structural, civil) and collaborate with key stakeholders, including Base Public Works, FEAD/ROICC, and other representative technical authorities. You will mentor and provide technical direction to other mechanical engineers and mechanical engineering technicians within the department, ensuring consistent application of quality assurance protocols across all engineering deliverables.
