Labs, hazardous occupancy spaces, chemical process plants, clean and dry rooms — every one needs mechanical systems designed by someone who knows what they're doing. Our client, a rapidly scaling clean energy innovator, is hiring a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer to serve as Mechanical Engineer of Record across some of the most varied industrial projects you'll find anywhere. From HVAC and plumbing to abatement systems and process heating/cooling, the design ownership is yours — spec through commissioning.

Why You'll Love It

• MEOR authority: Your stamp on specifications, calculations, and construction documents
• System variety that keeps it interesting: Industrial water, lab/office/plant HVAC, dust collectors, scrubbers, cooling towers, humidification, and more
• Field presence: Real construction and commissioning involvement, not just desk work
• Nevada advantage: No state income tax, Tahoe minutes away

What You'll Do

• Serve as Mechanical Engineer of Record on hazardous occupancy, clean/dry space, and chemical process/industrial plant projects

• Review conceptual designs from developing engineers; flag technical and financial risks
• Ensure code compliance and design quality across all mechanical deliverables
• Develop and improve project workflows and standards
• Serve as the field's technical point of contact during construction and commissioning
• Collaborate across disciplines on general arrangements, P&IDs, isometrics, tie-in lists, and material takeoffs
• Travel to project sites as needed

• Design experience with chillers, boilers, AHUs, heat pumps, heat rejection systems, dust collectors, humidification, fans, and pumps
• Preferred: abatement systems (thermal oxidizers, scrubbers), heat exchangers, control valves and instrumentation, heat recovery
• Ability to write HVAC/chilled water sequences of operation, spec ductwork and piping, and produce construction specifications
• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD; equipment sourcing and RFP experience
