Licensed Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience to lead engineering projects for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and municipal facilities. This role combines technical design leadership with construction-phase support, overseeing projects from initial system design through final delivery while ensuring code compliance, system performance, and engineering quality.

Key Responsibilities
• Design HVAC and mechanical systems that meet building requirements, performance standards, and applicable codes.
• Perform heating and cooling load calculations, assess ventilation requirements, select equipment, and evaluate energy efficiency.
• Prepare mechanical plans, technical specifications, equipment schedules, engineering calculations, and construction documents.
• Serve as Engineer of Record when assigned, ensuring technical accuracy and sound engineering decisions throughout the project.
• Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Evaluate existing building conditions, regulatory requirements, and project constraints to develop effective design solutions.
• Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and proposed design changes for technical compliance.
• Conduct site visits, field evaluations, and construction observations to verify design intent and identify installation issues.
• Resolve design conflicts, code concerns, and field challenges while maintaining system performance and compliance.
• Evaluate alternative designs to improve cost efficiency, energy performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Support commissioning, inspections, testing, and final project handover.
• Sign and seal engineering documents as authorized by licensure and applicable regulations.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and ensure deliverables meet project specifications and quality standards.
• Collaborate with clients, architects, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout project execution.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
• Direct HVAC and mechanical MEP design experience in commercial, healthcare, institutional, municipal, or comparable facilities.
• Strong knowledge of load calculations, ventilation design, HVAC equipment selection, energy efficiency, and mechanical codes.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent mechanical design software.
• Experience preparing and reviewing engineering calculations, construction drawings, specifications, and equipment schedules.
• Understanding of building system integration and multidisciplinary design coordination.
• Strong technical judgment, analytical skills, troubleshooting abilities, and communication skills.
• Experience collaborating with building owners, architects, contractors, and engineering teams.
• Healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facility experience preferred. Important Qualification: Substantial hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is essential. Candidates whose backgrounds focus primarily on project management, administration, or coordination without significant design involvement will not qualify.
• 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 engineer complex commercial and institutional facilities.
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
• Long-term career development and advancement opportunities.
