Description

Let's Do great things-Together

At Shive-Hattery, we believe great design starts with great people. We're a full-service architecture and engineering firm with a legacy of collaboration, innovation, and putting people first, our clients and each other. If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter and your growth is supported, you'll feel at home here.

What You'll Do
  • Lead the mechanical design of building systems to include plumbing, heating, cooling, ventilation, fire protection, building automation, and industrial process systems.
  • Work in a team setting, collaborating with other disciplines to perform the design and construction administration services for projects of all sizes.
  • Attend project and client meetings with design professionals for projects under contract and for business development opportunities.
  • Establish and manage the mechanical scope, schedule, and budget.
  • Provide direction to less experienced engineers and designers assisting with project work.
  • Oversee the completion and quality of construction drawings, specifications, reports, and other project documentation.
  • Mentor and teach other team members.
  • Visit project sites and provide technical assistance to help resolve construction issues.
Requirements

You don't need to check every box to succeed here. If your experience aligns with many of the items below and you're excited about the work we do, we encourage you to apply.
  • Graduate of an accredited engineering school with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or architectural engineering with a mechanical emphasis.
  • 8+ years of experience in the mechanical design of building systems.
  • Experience leading the mechanical design for projects.
  • Registration as a licensed Mechanical Professional Engineer is a requirement.
  • Excellent communication skills which sets you apart in the profession. Comfortable presenting design solutions to Owners.
  • Manage time and workload effectively which includes planning, organizing, and prioritizing with attention to engineering detail.
  • Self-motivated and able to problem-solve independently adding great value to your role, while understanding, and supporting the importance of collaboration across project teams and disciplines.
  • Experience with 3D modeling software (Revit preferred) and HVAC load calculation software.
What will make you stand out
  • Ability to develop new technical approaches
  • Leadership of small teams and coordination efforts
  • Strong integration of analysis tools into design workflow
  • Early influence on project direction and outcomes
