  • Develop and review construction-ready drawings and specifications
  • Support permitting, commissioning, and closeout documentation
  • Conduct site visits to validate conditions and support installation
  • Manage multiple projects with shifting priorities and tight timelines

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 7+ years of HVAC design experience in commercial and/or industrial environments
  • Deep knowledge of HVAC systems, codes, and regulations
  • Proven ability to interpret drawings, specifications, and performance requirements
  • Strong CAD experience; Revit experience strongly preferred
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to guide teams and influence outcomes

Strongly Preferred

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license (or ability to obtain)
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers or reviewing designs
  • Plumbing design experience

  • Life insurance, disability coverage, and Employee Assistance Programs
