You'll mentor junior staff, collaborate across trades, and drive projects from concept through construction.

- Skilled in HVAC load calculations, life cycle cost analysis, and system modeling
- Proficient with AutoCAD and Revit
- Excellent communication and team leadership skills
- Experience coordinating with architects, structural, electrical, and other disciplines
- Working knowledge of applicable building codes and standards
Qualifications
- PE license (or ability to obtain)
- Experience with energy-efficient and sustainable building systems
- Familiarity with healthcare or laboratory mechanical systems
- Knowledge of building automation system integration
Key Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical engineering projects from design through construction
- Design chilled water systems, hydronic loops, ventilation, and VAV systems
- Perform load calculations, life cycle analysis, and HVAC modeling
- Prepare and review technical drawings, specs, and construction documents
- Mentor junior engineers and oversee design quality
- Coordinate with in-house and external architects, electrical, plumbing, and structural teams
- Ensure code compliance and project documentation throughout
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- Career Growth: Defined paths toward increased responsibility and compensation
- Stability: Established MEP firm with steady project pipeline and loyal client base
- Supportive Culture: Work alongside experienced engineers in a collaborative team environment
- Work-Life Balance: Schedule flexibility and limited travel
