About The Position
Tech Air is driven by a passion for creating healthier spaces through cutting-edge air systems to enhance environments in schools, hospitals, labs, and beyond. This role is central to our ability to design our own air systems, allowing us to work from our own models rather than relying on external prints. The HVAC Mechanical Designer will sit next to the engineer of record in preconstruction, transforming design parameters into a working model independently. Our core values of Adapt and Conquer, Bring the Heat, Build Strong Relationships, and Own the Process, Own the Outcome are integral to how this craft is executed. We are aiming to be the contractor of choice for even the most complex jobs by 2035, a reputation built on meticulously crafted drawing sets by a dedicated team.
