Requirements:

1.    Mechanical engineer or designer with around 20 years of experience in design of HVAC systems for commercial buildings.  This experience must primarily be working in an MEP engineering office whose primary clients are architects.  We will talk with candidates that have more or slightly less experience beyond this 5 years range. 

2.    Knowledge in the design and construction of hydronic systems (chilled water, hot water, and steam) and building automation systems is required. 

3.    Hospital and other healthcare experience is a plus.

4.    This position will be associated with designing HVAC systems; meeting and communicating with clients; and conducting site inspections.  We are not looking for a manager, but rather, someone who is willing to work in production.

5.    Overnight travel is minimal. 

6.    There is one mandatory day in the office each week, which is Wednesdays – all other days are optional for in office.

7.    Experience using AutoCad and Revit is required. 

8.    Experience using Trace 700 for building cooling loads is a plus; and using Trace 700 also for energy models is an additional plus.

9.    An additional characteristic we look for is length(s) of previous engagements.  To us, multiple short-term engagements are indicators of possible inability to get along well with others and/or failure to provide quality work that employers require.   We look for people who show the ability to stay with firms for extended periods of time as it is an indicator of their likelihood to stay with us. 

Benefits Include the Following:

1.    We offer two weeks of vacation (Paid Time Off) per year at the start of employment, with three weeks’ vacation after 5 years, and four weeks’ vacation after 10 years with the company.

We also offer one “floating” holiday to each staff member to be used at each employee’s discretion, for example, birthday, anniversary, etc., for a total of 11 paid holidays.

3.    We also offer medical insurance.  This coverage is for medical, vision, and dental insurance, and is paid for fully by the company as a benefit. 

4.    In addition, we offer both short-term and long-term insurance coverage at no cost to the employee.

5.    We also offer a Simple IRA (SIRA) investment option where the company will match up to 3% of your salary.
