Mechanical Engineer IV
About The Position
The Mechanical Engineer IV focuses on the design and engineering of HVAC and mechanical utilities for buildings. The role oversees the Mechanical discipline scope of work and manages the discipline budget across project phases, sizes, and complexity levels. It coordinates with internal and external architects and engineers, clients, construction managers, subcontractors, vendors, and manufacturers. The position leads complex mechanical design activities, including studies, conceptual and schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration. Typical work includes site selection, master planning, commissioning and startup, load calculations, utility assessments, energy modeling, design reports, code evaluations, plans, P&IDs, schedules, HAZOP reviews, installation details, and equipment and system selection and specification. The Mechanical Engineer IV understands how design documents are developed and implemented in the field throughout project phases. The role also supports proposal development, project planning, field surveys, construction activities, and project quality. It leads teams executing advanced mechanical projects and provides mentorship to less experienced Mechanical Engineers and Designers.

- Conduct and lead field surveys of existing conditions and support field reporting.
- Identify and resolve intermediate non-compliant existing conditions during site walks and construction field surveys.
- Develop narratives, reports, construction drawing packages, and construction specifications for large, advanced-complexity projects without oversight.
- Provide advanced support for construction activities, including RFI responses, submittal reviews, punch list development, and construction progress reports.
- Check documents for intermediate-complexity projects, technically verify design calculations and documentation, and drive overall project quality.
- Use platforms such as Microsoft Office products and available BIM software to execute work.
- Mentor less experienced Mechanical Engineers and/or Designers.
- Lead advanced project system design programming and master planning with support from a Senior Engineer.
- Lead a team of mechanical staff in executing advanced project discipline design and engineering.
