Mechanical Engineer IV

Mechanical Engineer IVThe Mechanical Engineer IV plays a key leadership role in the design and delivery of HVAC and mechanical utility systems for complex, highly regulated building projects. This position requires strong technical expertise, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and the ability to lead and coordinate the work of others across multidisciplinary teams.The Mechanical Engineer IV is responsible for overseeing the mechanical discipline scope of work and budget across all project phases and levels of complexity. The role collaborates closely with internal architects and engineers, as well as clients, construction managers, subcontractors, vendors, and manufacturers to deliver coordinated, high-quality, and constructible designs.Typical responsibilities include work performed directly or under supervision related to site selection, master planning, load calculations, utility assessments, energy modeling, commissioning and start-up, design reports, code evaluations, plans, P&IDs, schedules, HAZOP reviews, installation details, and equipment/system selection and specification. The Mechanical Engineer IV leads design execution across all phases, including studies, conceptual and schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration.Core ResponsibilitiesServe as a technical and client interface for mechanical scope of workCollaborate closely with architects, engineers, designers, and other internal and external partners to deliver coordinated, constructible designsSupport proposal development, scope definition, labor planning, and scheduling in partnership with the Project ManagerLead and conduct field surveys of existing conditions and prepare supporting documentationIdentify and resolve non-compliant or complex existing-condition issues during site walks and construction surveysDevelop advanced design narratives, reports, construction drawings, and technical specifications with minimal or no oversightProvide construction-phase support including RFIs, submittal reviews, punch lists, and progress reportingPerform technical quality reviews of calculations and documentation and drive overall project qualityUtilize project tools and platforms including Microsoft Office and BIM softwareMentor and support the development of junior and mid-level mechanical engineers and designersParticipate in professional development and technical growth activitiesLead advanced mechanical system programming and master planning with support from senior staff, as neededLead mechanical design teams through execution of advanced and complex projectsMinimum QualificationsABET-accredited Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Architectural Engineering (mechanical focus)Minimum of 10 years of relevant experienceProfessional Engineer (PE) license in good standingAdvanced experience performing engineering calculations and designing HVAC, mechanical utility, and piping systemsAdvanced proficiency with applicable mechanical, plumbing, fire, and building codesPreferred QualificationsExperience supporting Life Sciences (pharmaceutical, biotech, laboratory) or Food & Beverage facilitiesAdvanced knowledge of GMP manufacturing environmentsProficiency in Revit and AutoCADProficiency with Microsoft Office SuiteLEED, WELL, or other sustainable design credentials, or equivalent experienceWorking knowledge of industry standards such as ASHRAE, SMACNA, ISPE, FDA, ISO, NFPA, and OSHAAdvanced experience conducting and leading field surveys and reportingAdvanced experience in plumbing system designFamiliarity with Revit plugins (e.g., Enscape, Unifi)Exposure to computational or parametric workflows (e.g., Dynamo, Grasshopper, Rhino)Strong cross-discipline coordination and collaboration skillsAdvanced coordination experience with construction trade partners, vendors, and manufacturersExperience troubleshooting mechanical system issues in design and constructionAbility to develop and deliver internal technical training contentWillingness to travel in support of projects, client development, and training activities
