Mechanical Engineer

Job Title: Facilities Mechanical Engineer (Mission-Critical Infrastructure)

Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Facilities Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design and integration for large-scale, high-complexity industrial facilities. You will be responsible for the design of robust utility and infrastructure systems that support mission-critical manufacturing, testing, and development operations.
This is a fast-paced role for an engineer who thrives on "the hard stuff"-retrofitting existing complex facilities, integrating new high-capacity equipment, and solving the unique mechanical challenges that arise in advanced production environments. You will partner with stakeholders, multidisciplinary engineering teams, and contractors to bring design concepts through construction and final commissioning.

Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Design & Engineering
• System Design: Design and specify integrated mechanical systems, including HVAC, hydronic loops, high-purity process piping, specialized exhaust, plumbing, and fire protection.
• Infrastructure Upgrades: Lead the design for facility retrofits and equipment expansions. Perform complex engineering calculations, system analysis, and component selection to meet rigorous operational requirements.
• Utility Integration: Develop comprehensive utility requirement packages in collaboration with equipment manufacturers and facility stakeholders.
• Multidisciplinary Coordination: Act as a technical lead within multidisciplinary teams, ensuring mechanical designs are seamlessly integrated with electrical, structural, and architectural systems.

Project & Construction Support
• Technical Documentation: Produce detailed construction documents, installation packages, and engineering reports.
• Lifecycle Support: Interface directly with clients, contractors, and project owners from conceptual design through project closeout.
• Field Engineering: Provide construction-phase support, including the technical review of RFIs, submittals, and the resolution of field-related engineering issues.
• Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with applicable codes, safety standards, and project-specific technical requirements.

Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited university.
• Credentialing: Active Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification is required; candidate must be actively pursuing Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
• Experience Baseline: Minimum of three (3) years of experience applying mechanical facilities engineering principles in high-complexity industrial or commercial environments.
• Technical Proficiency: Proven track record in HVAC, hydronic systems, process piping, and industrial exhaust/infrastructure.

Preferred Attributes
• Hands-on field experience within a large-scale industrial facility.
• Technical proficiency with AutoCAD and Navisworks (for clash coordination and spatial integration).
• Excellent analytical and troubleshooting abilities; comfort working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary project environment.
• Passion for complex building systems and a commitment to engineering excellence.
