• Analyze project plans, specifications, and schedules to identify opportunities for system optimization and equipment application.
• Provide engineered equipment selections based on project requirements, including airflow calculations, static pressure analysis, thermal load considerations, and system compatibility assessments.
• Support the design and application of commercial HVAC systems including rooftop units, air handling units, chillers, boilers, VAV systems, energy recovery equipment, and building automation integration in accordance with applicable codes including International Mechanical Code (IMC), ASHRAE standards, and local energy codes.
• Collaborate with design engineers and contractors to influence basis-of-design specifications and ensure proper system integration.
• Deliver technical product support, including submittal reviews, performance verification, and troubleshooting during installation and commissioning phases.
• Maintain strong technical relationships with manufacturers to stay aligned on product capabilities, engineering updates, and application best practices.
• Generate and present technical proposals, including equipment selections, system schematics, psychrometric analysis, and value-engineered alternatives.
• Track and manage project pipelines through CRM tools, ensuring accurate forecasting and documentation of project milestones.
• Participate in ongoing technical training, industry events, and manufacturer programs to maintain current knowledge of HVAC technologies, ASHRAE standards, and energy efficiency requirements.

Qualifications And Core Technical Competencies
