About The Position

Ramboll is actively seeking a Mechanical Engineer in our Binghamton, NY office. The selected candidate for this position will be expected to work across a wide range of mechanical engineering knowledge areas and have a desired focus area in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning related work. The successful candidate will be responsible for, but not limited to, performing design and engineering work in various areas of the mechanical discipline. The majority of the work will be related to heating, ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC); however, the candidate should also expect work in industrial piping, plumbing, central utility plants, compressed air systems, chilled water systems, steam systems, and fire protection. The role involves coordinating with other engineering disciplines to produce final construction drawings and details associated with mechanical engineering projects, developing conceptual designs and cost estimates for early stages of the project life cycle, and creating design drawings utilizing Revit 3D design software. The candidate will also conduct or participate in investigative energy assessments to identify energy and cost savings measures, assess and design building ventilation systems based on requirements for heat removal in industrial spaces and maintaining indoor air quality, and conduct spreadsheet analysis to assess the energy and cost savings of proposed energy conservation measures (ECMs). Utilizing building modeling software (HAP or Trane Trace) to determine envelope heat gains/losses and assess savings potentials of ECMs, specifying mechanical equipment, and designing plumbing and building utility piping systems are also key responsibilities. Summarizing engineering results in written reports and/or presentations that are cohesive and of the highest quality is expected. Visiting job sites as required for projects involving upfit of existing systems, with a mix of day trips and overnight domestic trips, should be expected. Adherence to the policies and standards set forth in Ramboll’s Project Execution Manual and promoting and maintaining a safe working environment for all employees by adhering to Ramboll’s Health, Safety, and Environmental procedures are also required.
