Projects may include healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

Responsibilities

-   Design HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial and institutional buildings.

-   Develop construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
-   Serve as the **Engineer of Record** and provide technical oversight throughout design and construction.
-   Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
-   Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and construction-phase documentation.
-   Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
-   Identify and resolve design, code, and constructability issues with practical engineering solutions.
-   Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
-   Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
-   Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation.

## 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.**
-   Proven 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 principles.
-   Proficiency with **AutoCAD, Revit MEP**, or similar mechanical design software.
-   Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings and calculations.
-   Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
-   Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
-   Hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is **required**.
-   Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facilities is preferred.
-   Candidates whose background is primarily project management without significant 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.
