• Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues
• Develop practical and cost-effective engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives
• Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and final project closeout
• Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications
• Review, seal, and take responsibility for engineering drawings and calculations as required
• Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project

Requirements

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred
• Proven hands-on 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 requirements
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or comparable mechanical design software
• Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations
• Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams
• Hands-on mechanical/HVAC design experience is required
• Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other technically complex facilities preferred
• Candidates with primarily project management backgrounds and limited hands-on 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
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment
