Technical Authority: Author comprehensive Basis of Design (BOD) documents and technical specifications while serving as the final word on code compliance and engineering fundamentals.
Field Integration: Lead job site walks and surveys, including climbing ladders to observe existing conditions, to ensure that design intent is perfectly realized during the construction phase.
Performance Optimization: Oversee the review of submittals and RFIs, providing rapid, expert solutions to maintain project momentum and technical integrity.
Required Qualifications

Experience: 5–10 years of progressive experience in mechanical building systems design.
