Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and engineering calculations.
Develop construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
Serve as the Engineer of Record and provide technical oversight throughout design and construction.
Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and construction-phase documentation.
Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
Identify and resolve design, code, and constructability issues with practical engineering solutions.
Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation.
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
