Licensed Mechanical Engineer - HVAC/MEP

We’re seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with strong hands-on HVAC and mechanical design expertise to lead engineering projects for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and municipal facilities. This position combines technical design leadership with construction-phase support, from developing system concepts to resolving field issues and approving final engineering deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

• Design HVAC and mechanical systems tailored to each building’s operational needs, performance requirements, and applicable codes.
• Calculate heating and cooling loads, evaluate ventilation requirements, select equipment, and assess energy performance.
• Develop mechanical plans, technical specifications, equipment schedules, design calculations, and construction-ready documentation.
• Serve as Engineer of Record when assigned, overseeing technical quality and engineering decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
• Integrate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Assess building conditions, regulatory requirements, and project constraints to determine suitable engineering approaches.
• Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and proposed design changes for technical compliance.
• Perform site visits, field evaluations, and construction observations to verify design intent and identify installation issues.
• Troubleshoot design conflicts, code concerns, and field conditions, developing solutions that maintain system performance and compliance.
• Evaluate alternative designs to improve cost efficiency, energy use, reliability, and maintainability.
• Support system commissioning, inspections, testing, and final project handover.
• Sign and seal engineering documents where authorized by licensure and applicable regulations.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and ensure deliverables meet technical specifications and quality standards.
• Work directly with clients, architects, contractors, and other engineering disciplines to keep projects aligned.

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
• Direct HVAC and mechanical MEP design experience in commercial, healthcare, institutional, municipal, or comparable facilities.
• Strong technical knowledge of load calculations, ventilation design, HVAC equipment selection, energy efficiency, and mechanical codes.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent mechanical design tools.
• Experience producing and reviewing engineering calculations, construction drawings, specifications, and equipment schedules.
• Understanding of building system integration and coordination across engineering disciplines.
• Strong technical judgment, analytical skills, troubleshooting ability, and communication.
• Experience collaborating with building owners, architects, contractors, and engineering teams.
• Background in healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facilities is preferred.
• Extensive direct design involvement is essential. Candidates whose experience is primarily project management, administration, or coordination without substantial HVAC and mechanical design work will not qualify.

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plan with company contribution
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Continuing education and professional development support
• Opportunity to engineer complex commercial and institutional facilities
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment
• Long-term career development and advancement opportunities
