Mechanical Engineer

Our client is proud to design and build projects and careers. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and collaborative work environment that encourages big-picture thinking, brings out the best in our personnel, and helps us develop innovative solutions that contribute to building a better world together. If this sounds like a culture you would like to work in, you are invited to apply for this role. Mechanical Engineer to support pharmaceutical facility projects in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment. This role requires a practical, execution-focused engineer who can independently drive equipment, HVAC, plumbing, and piping layout scope across design development, coordination, and construction support. This position is not a fabrication-level piping design role nor a HVAC specialist position; success requires broad mechanical ownership across multiple systems and project phases. Key Responsibilities:

• Lead equipment, HVAC system and plumbing design for pharmaceutical facilities.
• Develop construction-ready layouts, plans, sections, details, and specifications.
• Develop and coordinate piping layouts and routing using orthographic drawings developed from transposition models and/or 3D reference models.
• Coordinate mechanical and piping designs with process, structural, architectural, and electrical disciplines.
• Design and coordinate plumbing systems including domestic water, sanitary, and laboratory waste.
• Perform and review load calculations, equipment sizing, and system selection.
• Serve as the mechanical technical authority for assigned scopes, ensuring constructability and technical quality.
• Support scope definition, basis of design development, and estimating activities
• Participate in field walkdowns, constructability reviews, and client coordination meetings
• Provide construction support including RFIs, redlines, technical queries, and issue resolution.

Required Experience:

• 8–10 years of experience in mechanical engineering or mechanical design
• Experience supporting pharmaceutical or other highly regulated manufacturing facilities
• Background in industrial facilities (manufacturing, food & beverage, pharmaceutical) or MEP consulting with significant renovation experience
• Demonstrated ability to lead mechanical scope with limited supervision
• Experience delivering projects through both design and construction phases
• Hands on experience with small to mid scale projects, renovations, and brownfield / retrofit facilities
• Demonstrated experience performing field walkdowns and site assessments
• Proven construction supports experience, including coordination, issue resolution, and field engagement

Technical Skills, Systems & Tools

• HVAC system design, analysis, and equipment selection, including rooftop units, exhaust systems, ventilation, and make up air
• Design and coordination of hydronic systems, including chilled water and heating hot water
• Facility and utility piping layout and coordination, supporting mechanical and process adjacent systems
• Plumbing system design, including domestic water, sanitary, and laboratory waste systems
• Familiarity with pharmaceutical utility systems, including clean utilities, process utilities, and gases
• Strong preference for experience with utilities such as compressed air, process exhaust, steam, and condensate systems.
• Proficient with AutoCAD (required) and Revit (preferred, but not critical)
• Experience with HVAC load calculation tools such as Carrier HAP or Trane TRACE (nice to have; not a requirement)

Project Experience:

• Conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design development
• Multi-discipline coordination and execution
• Field-based engineering support including walkdowns and constructability reviews
• Construction support and issue resolution
• Development of permitting and construction deliverables

Behavioral Profile:

• The ideal candidate demonstrates a strong mindset of ownership and accountability for technical quality and schedule
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced project environment
• Practical, constructability-focused engineering judgment
• Ability to make decisions with incomplete information
• Clear and clear communication with project managers, clients, and construction teams.

What Success Looks Like Success in this role means delivering mechanically sound, constructible designs; proactively resolving field and constructability issues; and maintaining technical quality and schedule across multiple concurrent pharmaceutical projects. Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or progress toward licensure preferredTRS Staffing Solutions are an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome you to provide OFCCP data voluntarily here
