Licensed Mechanical Engineer - HVAC/MEP
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with a strong background in HVAC and MEP system design for commercial buildings. This is a technical engineering role focused on the design, analysis, and documentation of mechanical systems—not project management. The ideal candidate will lead mechanical design efforts from concept through construction, serving as the Engineer of Record while collaborating with architects, engineers, and construction teams. You'll work on a diverse portfolio of projects including healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

- 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred
- Strong experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial buildings
- Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or similarly complex facilities preferred
- Proficiency with engineering calculations, HVAC load analysis, equipment selection, and construction documentation
- Strong knowledge of applicable mechanical codes and industry standards
- Ability to independently develop, review, and stamp 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 background is primarily project management without significant design responsibilities will not be considered
Responsibilities
- Design HVAC and mechanical building systems for commercial and institutional projects
- Perform engineering calculations, load analyses, and equipment selections
- Prepare construction drawings, specifications, and technical documentation
- Serve as the Engineer of Record, providing technical oversight throughout the design process
- Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines
