What You'll Do:
  • Design mechanical systems from concept through construction.
  • Develop innovative, energy-efficient solutions that exceed client expectations.
  • Collaborate on projects from start to finish, including site visits, drawings, specs, and construction support.
  • Work closely with architects, engineers, and owners to define project goals and resolve challenges.
  • Review technical documents and contractor submittals to ensure code compliance and design integrity.
  • Support and contribute to performance contracting projects that deliver measurable energy savings.
  • Stay on the leading edge of sustainable design, integrating strategies like LEED or Green Globes.
What You Bring:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Architectural Engineering (or related field).
  • 3+ years of experience designing HVAC and mechanical systems
  • EIT certification
  • Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, Trane Trace, IES VE, Navisworks, and Microsoft Office
  • Experience in K-12, higher education, healthcare, or public sector projects
  • Knowledge of building codes, ASHRAE, FGI standards, and energy modeling principles.
  • A passion for sustainability, performance-driven design, and client collaboration.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills-you enjoy working with people and solving problems.
Bonus Points For:
  • PE license
  • LEED AP, CEM, or other green building certifications
  • Experience with plumbing and fire protection systems
  • Familiarity with local design-build procurement processes
Why You'll Love Working Here:
  • Make a difference by designing buildings that are healthier, smarter, and more energy efficient.
  • Enjoy a supportive, team-first culture where mentorship and growth are part of the everyday.
  • Get involved in diverse, meaningful projects that stretch your skills and fuel your passion.
  • Be part of a company that values curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning.

Ready to Build the Future?
