This position suits someone who thrives in a collaborative, client-facing environment, enjoys variety in project work, and wants meaningful ownership in design decisions and direct interaction with clients.

Responsibilities

+ Design and develop mechanical systems, including air distribution, hydronic systems, and performing detailed load calculations.

+ Design plumbing systems that meet project requirements, applicable codes, and client expectations.

+ Design fire protection systems that align with safety standards and project specifications.

+ Perform engineering calculations, system sizing, and equipment selection to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

+ Prepare complete construction documents, including drawings, specifications, and technical reports.

+ Evaluate multiple mechanical system options and provide cost-effective design recommendations tailored to client needs.

+ Collaborate closely with internal electrical engineers and external stakeholders such as architects, owners, and contractors.

+ Support renovation, retrofit, and new construction projects across varying levels of size and complexity.

+ Participate in site visits and field investigations to verify existing conditions and support design decisions.

+ Contribute to construction administration activities, including responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and supporting field coordination.

+ Assist with commissioning efforts and system performance verification to ensure installed systems operate as designed.

+ Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes, ASHRAE standards, and other relevant industry standards.

+ Incorporate energy-efficient design practices and sustainability considerations into mechanical system solutions.

+ Use Revit and AutoCAD to produce accurate, coordinated mechanical drawings and models.

+ Communicate clearly with clients and team members, presenting technical information in an understandable way and contributing to a positive, collaborative project environment.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.

+ 3-10+ years of experience in MEP consulting or building systems design.

+ Proven experience designing HVAC systems for commercial, healthcare, educational, or industrial facilities.

+ Proficiency in Revit for mechanical system modeling and documentation.

+ Proficiency in AutoCAD for mechanical drafting and design coordination.

+ Strong understanding of building codes and ASHRAE standards.

+ Solid grasp of energy-efficient design practices for building systems.

+ Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification required.

+ Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

+ Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to develop practical, buildable engineering solutions.

+ Experience using core mechanical design tools and workflows, including mechanical design, engineering calculations, and drafting.

+ Ability to use CAD tools and related software in an architectural or engineering environment.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

+ Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred, or active progress toward obtaining licensure.

+

Experience with complex systems such as laboratories, data centers, or institutional facilities.

+ Exposure to commissioning activities or system performance verification.

+ Familiarity with energy modeling tools or participation in sustainability initiatives.

+ Experience working on both small renovation projects and large, complex building systems.

+ Background or exposure to architectural coordination and multidisciplinary design environments.

+

Experience with additional mechanical design and CAD tools such as Solid Works is a plus.

+ Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining high-quality design output.

+ Interest in continuous learning, mentorship, and professional growth within a collaborative engineering team.
