Job Description

Job Description

Hybrid position - remote and on site.

About the Role

We are seeking an entry-level Mechanical Designer to join our MEP team. You will design and coordinate HVAC systems across a wide variety of project types, where your contributions are visible and your work gets built.

We’re not a large corporation — you’ll be a meaningful contributor to real projects from the start, not just another hire.

Responsibilities

• Designing HVAC systems for a wide range of building types — heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and related mechanical systems
• Performing load calculations and equipment selection
• Producing construction documents in Revit and AutoCAD
• Editing specifications, reviewing shop drawings, and answering RFIs
• Coordinating with our MEP team across disciplines
• Conducting site surveys and field verification — required 2 to 4 times per month
• Applying and staying current with relevant codes and standards — ASHRAE, IMC, and IECC

 

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
• A talent for spatial and systems thinking
• Comfortable learning new software
• Someone who takes ownership of their work and stays on top of their own workload
• A clear, collaborative communicator
• Genuine interest in building a long-term career in HVAC design

Helpful but Not Required

• Relevant work experience
• Experience with HAP, Trace 700, or similar load calculation software
• EIT certification or progress toward PE licensure
• Proficiency or aptitude in Revit and AutoCAD

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $65,000–$75,000, commensurate with experience
• Year-end bonus: Discretionary, reflecting company performance and individual factors including merit, seniority, and expertise
• Hybrid work schedule, negotiable
• Flexible hours
• Health, dental, & vision insurance
• FSA: Pre-tax dollars for medical & dependent care
• 401(k) with employer match
• PTO: Vacation time that grows with tenure, paid holidays, parental leave
• Professional development: Employees who choose to pursue certifications are reimbursed for exam fees and renewals
