About The Position

EXP is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer for its Mission Critical team, based in Atlanta, with the opportunity to work with a Fortune 500 client. The role involves mechanical building design and project management for multiple projects, including developing design documents and specifications, coordinating with other disciplines and clients, and helping ensure projects meet schedules, budgets, quality standards, and applicable codes. The engineer will also direct and mentor designer-level staff and perform at a responsible-charge level. The position requires work across schematic design, design development, and construction document phases. Responsibilities include mechanical system calculations and equipment selection, developing system studies and reports, writing sequences of operation, reviewing submittals and responding to RFIs, and addressing installation issues. Relevant systems and technical areas include chilled- and hot-water systems, water-source heat pumps, air-side systems, hydronic systems, psychrometrics, humid-climate design risks, and total-energy concepts.

Requirements

At least 7 years of project management and mechanical design experience.
Professional Engineering (PE) license.
Engineering degree and professional engineering license.
Strong leadership skills.
Good communication capabilities.
Building design experience.

Nice To Haves

Experience in the data center, mission critical, or telecommunications industry.

Responsibilities

Prepare and review load calculations; apply applicable codes and ensure design compliance.
Edit specifications to reflect project requirements and develop scope-of-work narratives, including schematic design narratives and basis-of-design documents.
Develop equipment room sizes during schematic design and design development phases; select and schedule equipment.
Meet with vendors to determine application-specific specification requirements.
Coordinate with other disciplines, including MEP/FP, architectural, and structural teams.
Respond to project RFIs, review submittals, and resolve installation problems.
Apply risk-management procedures to minimize EXP’s and clients’ exposure to problems.
