• Prepare calculations for plumbing systems, including water and drainage flows, water heater sizing, and pump sizing and selection.
• Perform calculations for design, such as air loads, pipe/duct/equipment sizing, ventilation requirements, static pressure, odor removal, life-cycle costs, and energy analyses.
• Select equipment, coordinate with equipment vendors, and edit specifications.
• Conduct field evaluations and develop as-built drawings.
• Develop master plans and perform field investigations.
• Conduct technology alternatives analyses using multi-criteria analysis tools for selecting odor control systems.
• Manage and coordinate work with architects, technicians, and engineers of other disciplines.
• Attend meetings and communicate with clients, vendors, and other project stakeholders to establish project needs and discuss design issues.
• Manage quality and schedule of work and interface with clients.
• Support field staff during construction phase of projects, including responding to submittal reviews and requests for information.
• Provide design guidance and mentorship to designers/drafters and less experienced engineers.

• Working knowledge of applicable building codes and standards such as ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, IBC, etc.
