Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with expertise in HVAC and MEP system design for commercial and institutional facilities. This is a hands-on engineering position focused on the design, analysis, and documentation of mechanical building systems rather than project management. The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering innovative, code-compliant engineering solutions from concept through construction.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience designing HVAC systems for complex buildings and will serve as the Engineer of Record , collaborating closely with architects, engineers, owners, and construction teams throughout the design and construction process. Projects include healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

Responsibilities

• Design HVAC and mechanical building systems for commercial and institutional construction projects.
• Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analyses, equipment selection, ventilation design, and other engineering calculations.
• Prepare construction drawings, specifications, schedules, and technical documentation.
• Serve as the Engineer of Record , providing technical leadership throughout design and construction.
• Coordinate mechanical system designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
• Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and construction-phase documentation.
• Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations as required.
• Resolve design and constructability challenges by developing practical engineering solutions.
• Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, client requirements, and engineering best practices.
• Maintain a high standard of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout project delivery.

Requirements

• 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.
• Proven experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
• Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facility types is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, mechanical codes, energy efficiency principles, and engineering best practices.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or similar mechanical design software.
• Ability to independently develop, review, and seal engineering drawings and calculations.
• Excellent technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering and architectural teams.
• Hands-on HVAC and mechanical system design experience is required.
• Candidates whose experience is primarily project management without significant engineering design responsibilities will not be considered.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• Ongoing professional development and continuing education support.
• Long-term career growth and advancement opportunities within a growing engineering team.
