Position Overview

The Design Integration Manager (Mechanical) collaborates closely with our project development, operations, estimating, and project support teams throughout the pursuit, preconstruction, construction, commissioning, and close‑out phases of projects. The person is responsible for leading the design process for all mechanical scopes (HVAC, plumbing, piping, process equipment) on design‑build, engineer‑procure‑construct, construction manager at‑risk, and other alternative delivery projects to ensure that design maximizes value for our clients and adheres to contracted scope, budget, and schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• During the design phase of projects, organize and manage the activities of the project team (owner, designers, estimating, and operations/construction) to conceptualize and develop the design of significant building and infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with the project team to define the scope and sequence of design delivery including composition and timing of early release packages.
• Establish a culture of accountability within the design team. Communicate project expectations with designers, including level of document development and construction budget.

• Drive design schedules by leading or participating in regularly scheduled design team and OAC (owner/architect/contractor) team meetings.
• Manage change management logs throughout the design phase including cost and schedule impact.
• Coordinate review cycles amongst the project team. Manage Alberici's risk in terms of scope creep, scope gaps, and constructability issues and drive value engineering activities.
• Maintain a detailed RFP compliance matrix to validate that the design meets the owner's requirements.
• Provide program validation to ensure building systems and owner‑provided process equipment have proper structural and MEP support.
• Collaborate with the estimating team to establish and periodically review cost trend logs throughout design. Lead the designers to adjust designs so that projects remain within the construction budget.
• Assist the estimating and operations teams with screening of relevant trade partners and suppliers and reviewing construction bids.
• Collaborate with the VDC team to establish and execute a project‑specific BIM implementation plan.
• Support the operations/construction team during construction and close‑out by managing the design team through design changes and issue resolution.
• Assist the Director, Design Integration in the development of design integration tools, templates, and best practices.
• Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for mechanical scopes including performance of peer reviews and completion of constructability review.
• Support project development teams during the pre‑proposal and project pursuit phases including collaboration on capture strategy and participation in client presentations.
• On design‑build (DB) and engineer‑procure‑construct (EPC) projects, solicit and evaluate proposals from primary and specialty design consultants and participate in negotiation of design contracts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in HVAC, plumbing, piping and process engineering design
