About The Position

A growing MEP consulting team is seeking a motivated Mechanical Designer with 1–5 years of mechanical/HVAC design experience to support a multidisciplinary engineering team. This is an opportunity for an early-career mechanical professional to build hands-on experience producing construction documents, developing HVAC layouts, preparing basic engineering calculations, coordinating mechanical systems with other disciplines, and supporting projects through construction administration. Working alongside Project Engineers and Senior Designers, the Mechanical Designer will translate engineering concepts and sketches into accurate CAD and Revit drawings while developing practical knowledge of HVAC systems, mechanical equipment, BIM coordination, and building-system design. The ideal candidate is technically detail-oriented, organized, dependable, and eager to grow into progressively higher-responsibility mechanical design roles.

Requirements

1–5 years of relevant experience in mechanical design, MEP design, drafting, or a related field.
Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit MEP required.
Familiarity with HVAC fundamentals, duct sizing, piping schematics, and mechanical equipment.
Strong technical drafting and modeling skills.
Strong attention to detail and drawing accuracy.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
Ability to follow direction from Project Engineers and Senior Designers.
Ability to manage multiple tasks while meeting project deadlines.
Organized, dependable, and willing to learn.

Nice To Haves

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Engineering Graphics, Engineering Design Technology, or a related program.
Experience with load-calculation software such as Trane TRACE or Carrier HAP.
Familiarity with duct and piping sizing tools.

Develop HVAC, ductwork, piping, and mechanical equipment layouts.
Perform basic HVAC load calculations under the supervision of engineers or senior designers.
Assist with mechanical equipment selection and prepare equipment schedules and specifications.
Coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, electrical, and plumbing disciplines.
Participate in BIM coordination sessions and help identify and resolve system clashes.
Prepare as-built drawings and incorporate field redlines and site measurements.
Assist with site visits and field documentation.
Respond to RFIs under the direction of project engineers or project managers.
Assist with reviewing shop drawings, submittals, and vendor information.
Maintain organized drawing files, project documentation, and version control.
Support project managers and engineers in meeting project deadlines and deliverables.
Apply practical understanding of constructability when developing mechanical layouts.
Continue developing knowledge of mechanical systems, building codes, BIM coordination, and engineering design practices.
