Full Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with strong hands-on expertise in HVAC and MEP design to join our team. This role will support a variety of commercial, institutional, healthcare, municipal, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

The ideal candidate is a technically strong engineer who can independently design mechanical systems, perform engineering calculations, develop construction documents, and serve as the Engineer of Record throughout the project lifecycle. This is a hands-on engineering position-not a project management role-with significant responsibility for design quality, technical coordination, and construction support.

Responsibilities
  • Design and engineer HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial, institutional, healthcare, and specialized facilities.
  • Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and other mechanical engineering calculations.
  • Develop detailed construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
  • Serve as the Engineer of Record, providing technical oversight from concept and design through construction and project closeout.
  • Coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
  • Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
  • Conduct field investigations, site visits, inspections, and construction observations.
  • Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues.
  • Develop practical, cost-effective engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives.
  • Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and final project closeout.
  • Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
  • Review, seal, and take responsibility for engineering drawings and calculations as required.
  • Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project.

Requirements
  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
  • Proven hands-on experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional facilities.
  • Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, ventilation, mechanical codes, and energy-efficiency requirements.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or comparable mechanical design software.
  • Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations.
  • Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
  • Hands-on mechanical/HVAC design experience is required.
  • Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other technically complex facilities is preferred.
  • Candidates whose backgrounds are primarily project management with limited hands-on mechanical design experience 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
  • Continuing education and professional development support
  • Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects
  • Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment
  • Long-term career growth and advancement opportunities
