Mechanical HVAC Design Engineer - 5 - 10 years

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Are you a high-caliber engineer ready to transition from drafting systems to architecting the mechanical future of the Pacific Northwest? We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to serve as a technical linchpin within our premier design-build division. In this role, you aren't just calculating loads; you are a strategic lead, responsible for the lifecycle of sophisticated HVAC systems that power the region's most critical infrastructures—from sterile healthcare environments to high-rise commercial towers.

Joining our team means stepping into an elite, integrated platform where the traditional friction between engineering and construction is eliminated. We offer a legacy-building opportunity where your designs are realized in real-time by our in-house construction and commissioning teams. This is a high-impact role designed for a visionary professional who thrives on technical autonomy, mentorship, and the drive to deliver sustainable, award-winning mechanical solutions.

• System Architecture & Design:
  Lead the high-level design and engineering of complex HVAC systems, ensuring every solution is optimized for energy efficiency, code compliance, and client-specific operational needs.
• Design-Build Integration:
  Collaborate seamlessly with the pre-construction and field teams to bridge the gap between conceptual engineering and physical installation, ensuring a "one-stop" high-quality delivery.
• Technical Stewardship:
  Oversee the production of rigorous engineering calculations, detailed construction documents, and high-fidelity technical specifications.
• Leadership & Mentorship:
  Steer the professional development of junior engineers, providing the technical oversight and career coaching necessary to maintain the firm's standard of excellence.
• Stakeholder Management:
  Act as the primary technical interface for clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary partners, translating complex mechanical concepts into actionable project milestones.
• Innovation & R&D:
  Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies and sustainable industry trends to continuously sharpen the firm's competitive edge and service offerings.
• Project Oversight:
  Manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously, maintaining an uncompromising standard of quality from initial feasibility through to final commissioning.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from an ABET-accredited institution.
• Licensure:
  Active Professional Engineer (PE) License is mandatory.
• Experience:
  
  7–10 years of progressive experience in HVAC design within the AEC industry.
• Software Proficiency:
  Expert command of Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and industry-standard load calculation software (e.g., Trace 700, HAP).
• Technical Mastery:
  Deep knowledge of IBC, IMC, and ASHRAE standards, with a proven track record of delivering successful projects in the commercial or industrial sectors.

• Sector Expertise:
  Specialized experience in OSHPD/Healthcare requirements or high-tech manufacturing clean rooms.
• Sustainable Design: LEED AP credential or experience with Net Zero energy modeling.
• Regional Knowledge:
  Established familiarity with Oregon and Washington building codes and energy jurisdictions.
• Strategic Vision:
  Previous experience in a lead or principal-track role within a design-build environment.
