Licensed Mechanical Engineer - HVAC/MEP

We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with strong expertise in HVAC and MEP design for commercial and institutional facilities.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on mechanical system design, analysis, calculations, and construction documentation rather than project management. The successful candidate will serve as an Engineer of Record , providing technical leadership from concept and design through construction and project closeout.

Projects may include healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.

Responsibilities

• Design HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial and institutional buildings.
• Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and engineering calculations.
• Develop construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
• Serve as the Engineer of Record and provide technical oversight throughout design and construction.
• Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
• Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and construction-phase documentation.
• Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
• Identify and resolve design, code, and constructability issues with practical engineering solutions.
• Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
• Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation.

Requirements

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP , or similar mechanical design software.
• Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings and calculations.
• Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
• Hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is required .
• Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facilities is preferred.
• Candidates whose background is primarily project management without significant mechanical design experience will not be considered.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
• Paid time off and company holidays.
• Continuing education and professional development support.
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
