• Prepare technical documentation, calculations and consultation output that supports project handover and longterm customer confidence in the design

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, or an equivalent technical discipline
• Around 3 years of experience in HVAC design or hydronic installation design – in a consulting, contracting, or manufacturer environment
• Solid understanding of hydronic systems: chilled water cooling and hot water heating, system sizing, and hydronic balancing fundamentals
• Familiarity with design calculation tools and AutoCAD; exposure to energy analysis or system performance simulation tools is a plus
• Prior experience supporting sales teams, consultants, or contractors on system design is an advantage

What You'll Get From Us

• You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
• We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
• You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
