## Description

We are seeking an experienced **Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE)** with expertise in **HVAC and MEP system design** for commercial and institutional facilities. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the design, analysis, and documentation of mechanical building systems rather than project management.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in HVAC design and mechanical engineering and will serve as the **Engineer of Record**, leading projects from concept through construction while collaborating with architects, engineers, and construction teams. This position offers the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

### Responsibilities

-   Design HVAC and mechanical building systems for commercial and institutional projects.
-   Perform engineering calculations, HVAC load analyses, energy evaluations, and equipment selection.
-   Prepare construction drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
-   Serve as the Engineer of Record, providing technical leadership throughout design and construction.
-   Coordinate mechanical system designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
-   Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
-   Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations as required.
-   Resolve design and constructability challenges by developing practical engineering solutions.
-   Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
-   Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, and client requirements.
-   Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout project delivery.

## Requirements

-   Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
-   Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
-   5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
-   Proven experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
-   Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex building types is preferred.
-   Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, mechanical codes, and engineering best practices.
-   Proficiency with mechanical design software such as AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or similar engineering platforms.
-   Ability to independently develop, review, and seal engineering designs.
-   Excellent technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
-   Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary design teams.
-   Hands-on mechanical design experience is required.
-   Candidates whose experience is primarily project management without significant engineering design responsibilities will not be considered.

## Benefits

-   Competitive salary based on experience.
-   Health, dental, and vision insurance.
-   Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
-   Paid time off and company holidays.
-   Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
-   Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
-   Ongoing professional development and support for continued career growth.
