Über die Stelle
We are seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with strong hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience to lead engineering projects for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and municipal facilities. This role combines technical design leadership with construction-phase support, overseeing projects from initial system design through final delivery. The ideal candidate will bring sound engineering judgment, a strong understanding of applicable codes, and the ability to develop reliable, efficient mechanical systems while maintaining technical quality and project requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Design HVAC and mechanical systems that meet building requirements, performance standards, and applicable codes.
- Perform heating and cooling load calculations, evaluate ventilation requirements, select appropriate equipment, and assess energy efficiency.
- Prepare mechanical plans, technical specifications, equipment schedules, engineering calculations, and construction documents.
- Serve as Engineer of Record when assigned, maintaining technical accuracy and sound engineering judgment throughout project execution.
- Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
- Evaluate existing building conditions, regulatory requirements, and project constraints to develop practical engineering solutions.
- Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), and proposed design changes for technical accuracy and compliance.
- Conduct site visits, field evaluations, and construction observations to verify design intent and identify installation issues.
- Resolve design conflicts, code concerns, and field challenges while maintaining system performance and regulatory compliance.
- Evaluate alternative designs to improve cost efficiency, energy performance, system reliability, and maintainability.
- Support commissioning, inspections, testing, and final project handover.
- Sign and seal engineering documents as permitted by professional licensure and applicable regulations.
- Maintain accurate engineering records and ensure all deliverables meet project specifications and quality standards.
- Collaborate with clients, architects, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout project execution.
Requirements
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- At least 5 years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
- Direct HVAC and mechanical MEP design experience in commercial, healthcare, institutional, municipal, or comparable facilities.
- Strong knowledge of heating and cooling load calculations, ventilation design, HVAC equipment selection, energy efficiency, and applicable mechanical codes.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent mechanical design software.
- Experience preparing and reviewing engineering calculations, construction drawings, technical specifications, and equipment schedules.
- Understanding of building system integration and multidisciplinary design coordination.
- Strong technical judgment, analytical skills, troubleshooting abilities, and communication skills.
- Experience working with building owners, architects, contractors, and engineering teams.
- Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facilities is preferred.
Important Qualification: Substantial hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is essential. Candidates whose backgrounds focus primarily on project management, administration, or coordination without significant direct design involvement will not qualify.
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 engineer complex commercial and institutional facilities.
- Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
- Long-term career development and advancement opportunities.
