Job description

Mechanical BIM Designer

Mechworks, Inc. | Morehead City, NC | Cary, NC | Full-time (On-Site)

POSITION SUMMARY

Mechworks Mechanical Contractors is an employee-owned mechanical contractor, so our employees build equity through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), not just a paycheck. We are hiring a Mechanical BIM Designer to produce mechanical models, construction documents, and permit and shop drawings for commercial and institutional projects, including schools, healthcare facilities, and industrial work. This position supports projects from scope review through final coordination and works directly with project managers, foremen, and clients. Unlike a design office, you will see your drawings get built and work alongside the field crews installing them.

POSITION DETAILS

Location: Morehead City, NC | Cary, NC

• Morehead City-area candidates are preferred
• Raleigh/Triangle-area candidates will be considered (will report to our office in Cary, NC), but must be able to travel to the Morehead City shop as work requires.

Employment Type: Full-time

Work schedule: Typically 8:00–5:00, Monday–Friday; varies with project load.

Travel: Regular travel between the Morehead City and Cary offices and job sites throughout Eastern North Carolina.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Produce accurate mechanical BIM models, construction documents, and permit drawings.
• Develop BIM shop and spool drawings for plan and specification projects.
• Coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, and other trade models, and resolve clashes.
• Meet with project managers and clients to confirm project scope, design criteria, and deliverables.
• Identify value-engineering opportunities and recommend practical solutions to the project team.
• Work with foremen and field crews to verify constructability and support efficient installation.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.

• Three to five years designing HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, or industrial projects.
• Strong AutoCAD proficiency, including preparing mechanical design drawings for review and permitting by city and county code officials.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.

• Working knowledge of plumbing system design.

CORE VALUES

Teamwork: Completing our projects and building trust with each other, our partners, and our customers.

Honesty: Doing the right thing, always.

Quality: Providing workmanship that exceeds expectations.

Safety: Training and reinforcement that we value a safe work environment.

Balance: Maintaining a healthy balance between work and home life.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS

Primarily sedentary work at a computer workstation, including prolonged sitting, repetitive hand motions, and close visual work. Must be able to communicate effectively in person, by phone, and in writing. Periodic job site visits require walking on uneven surfaces, climbing stairs and ladders, and lifting or carrying up to 25 pounds.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

Work occurs primarily in a climate-controlled office. Periodic visits to active commercial and industrial job sites may involve exposure to moving mechanical parts, high noise, heights, and weather extremes. Mechworks provides the safety equipment and training required for the work.

BENEFITS

Mechworks invests in our people. Full-time employees are eligible for a comprehensive benefits package after meeting length-of-service requirements.

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): share in the company's success as an employee-owner.
