Job description

Senior Mechanical Engineer — HVAC / Building Systems

Flowtec is partnering with an established MEP and building systems consultancy to appoint a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead HVAC design out of their Atlanta office.

Our client has spent 30+ years designing complex, high-performance buildings across the mission critical, life sciences, healthcare and academic markets, with five offices across the East Coast and Southeast. The firm is partially employee-owned, so you hold a genuine stake in the business, and there’s a defined route to partnership rather than a vague promise of one.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading mechanical and HVAC design across mission critical, life sciences, healthcare and commercial projects
• Owning the full project lifecycle, concept, design, specification, construction administration, closeout
• Complex load calculations, system sizing, equipment selection and code analysis to ASHRAE, IMC, IECC and NFPA
• Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, architects and contractors
• Managing scope, schedule, budget and staffing from kickoff through to turnover
• Leading coordination with the electrical, plumbing, fire protection and technology teams
• QA/QC review, and mentoring the engineers behind you

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering (MSME a plus)
• 8+ years leading mechanical design in an MEP consulting environment
• Experience across lab, healthcare, mission critical or high-performance buildings
• AutoCAD, Revit and HVAC modelling tools - Trane Trace, Carrier HAP or similar
• Strong client-facing and leadership ability, you’ll be in front of clients, not behind a screen
• A PE is not required. If you hold one, great. If you’re working toward it, they’ll support the exam
• Nice to have: 12+ years, mission critical exposure, LEED / WELL or energy modelling

Why This Role:

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan, a real equity stake in the firm, not a notional bonus
• Path to Partnership, a transparent, structured route to leadership with mentorship behind it
• Student debt repayment paid directly against your loans
• Flexible and hybrid working
• FE/PE exam support and a structured internal training programme
• A 30+ year consultancy with a technically serious reputation in mission critical and science & technology
