  • Begin leading small project teams, assigning tasks and supporting timely execution
  • Track project progress and adjust plans to meet client and project goals
  • Participate in internal technical knowledge-sharing and professional development
  • Maintain awareness of applicable codes, standards, and best practices
  • Pursue and maintain professional licensure, as appropriate
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in a building systems or MEP consulting environment
  • Demonstrated ability to lead HVAC design efforts and manage project responsibilities
  • Strong technical foundation in HVAC systems, codes, and energy performance
  • Clear, professional communication skills and comfort working client-facing
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred; licensure-in-progress considered
  • Candidates must reside in or be willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area
