Key Responsibilities

-   Lead the mechanical design of HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional facilities.

-   Develop mechanical plans, specifications, equipment schedules, details, and construction documents.
-   Serve as the **Engineer of Record** and provide technical oversight from concept and design through construction.
-   Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other project disciplines.
-   Review submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and contractor questions and provide technical responses.
-   Conduct site investigations, field surveys, inspections, and construction observations.
-   Evaluate design conflicts, code issues, constructability concerns, and field conditions and develop appropriate solutions.
-   Provide practical and cost-conscious engineering recommendations that meet project requirements.
-   Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list resolution, and final project closeout.
-   Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, mechanical codes, energy standards, and client requirements.
-   Review and seal engineering drawings, calculations, and specifications within the scope of licensure.
-   Maintain accurate technical documentation and ensure engineering deliverables meet quality standards.

## Requirements

-   **Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.**
-   Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
-   **5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.**
-   Demonstrated experience designing **HVAC and MEP systems** for commercial, institutional, or similar facilities.
-   Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, ventilation design, mechanical codes, and energy requirements.
-   Proficiency with **AutoCAD, Revit MEP**, or comparable mechanical design platforms.
-   Experience producing and reviewing engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, and construction documents.
-   Strong technical analysis, problem-solving, communication, and coordination skills.
-   Experience working with architects, engineers, contractors, and other multidisciplinary project teams.
-   **Hands-on mechanical/HVAC design experience is required.**
-   Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other technically complex facilities is preferred.
-   Candidates whose background is primarily project management with limited hands-on mechanical design experience will not be considered.

## Benefits

-   Competitive salary based on experience.
-   Health, dental, and vision insurance.
-   Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
-   Paid time off and company holidays.
-   Continuing education and professional development support.
-   Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
