Licensed Mechanical Engineer - HVAC/MEP

We are seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with strong hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience to join our team and lead engineering projects for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and municipal facilities. You will combine technical design leadership with construction-phase support, overseeing our projects from initial system design through final delivery. We are looking for someone who brings sound engineering judgment, a strong understanding of applicable codes, and the ability to develop reliable, efficient mechanical systems while maintaining technical quality and project requirements. Key Responsibilities Design HVAC and mechanical systems that meet building requirements, performance standards, and applicable codes. Perform heating and cooling load calculations, evaluate ventilation requirements, select appropriate equipment, and assess energy efficiency. Prepare mechanical plans, technical specifications, equipment schedules, engineering calculations, and construction documents. Serve as Engineer of Record when assigned, maintaining technical accuracy and sound engineering judgment throughout project execution. Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems. Evaluate existing building conditions, regulatory requirements, and project constraints to develop practical engineering solutions. Review contractor submittals, shop drawings, requests for information (RFIs), and proposed design changes for technical accuracy and compliance. Conduct site visits, field evaluations, and construction observations to verify design intent and identify installation issues. Resolve design conflicts, code concerns, and field challenges while maintaining system performance and regulatory compliance. Evaluate alternative designs to improve cost efficiency, energy performance, system reliability, and maintainability. Support commissioning, inspections, testing, and final project handover. Sign and seal engineering documents as permitted by professional licensure and applicable regulations. Maintain accurate engineering records and ensure all deliverables meet our project specifications and quality standards. Collaborate with clients, architects, contractors, and our multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout project execution. Requirements Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline. At least 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 knowledge of heating and cooling load calculations, ventilation design, HVAC equipment selection, energy efficiency, and applicable mechanical codes. Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or equivalent mechanical design software. Experience preparing and reviewing engineering calculations, construction drawings, technical specifications, and equipment schedules. Understanding of building system integration and multidisciplinary design coordination. Strong technical judgment, analytical skills, troubleshooting abilities, and communication skills. Experience working with building owners, architects, contractors, and engineering teams. Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, or other complex facilities is preferred. Important Qualification: Substantial hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is essential. Candidates whose backgrounds focus primarily on project management, administration, or coordination without significant direct design involvement will not qualify. 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. The opportunity to engineer complex commercial and institutional facilities. A collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
