-   Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and mechanical engineering calculations.
-   Develop detailed construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
-   Serve as the **Engineer of Record**, providing technical oversight from initial concept and design through construction and closeout.
-   Coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
-   Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
-   Conduct field investigations, site visits, inspections, and construction observations.
-   Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues.
-   Develop practical, cost-effective engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives.
-   Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and final project closeout.
-   Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
-   Review, seal, and take responsibility for engineering drawings and calculations as required.
-   Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project.

## Requirements

-   **Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.**
-   Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
-   **5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.**
-   Proven hands-on experience designing **HVAC and MEP systems** for commercial and institutional facilities.
-   Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, ventilation, mechanical codes, and energy-efficiency requirements.
-   Proficiency with **AutoCAD, Revit MEP**, or comparable mechanical design software.
-   Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations.
-   Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
-   Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
-   **Hands-on mechanical and HVAC design experience is required.**
-   Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other technically complex facilities is preferred.
-   Candidates with primarily project management backgrounds and limited hands-on mechanical design experience will not be considered.

## Benefits
