Company

As one of the nation's largest MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) design-build firms, providing comprehensive lifecycle solutions for complex building systems, we integrate design, construction, energy, and service into a single, collaborative process that delivers maximum value. Our projects span multiple industries, including healthcare, mission-critical, education, infrastructure, and commercial development.

Position Summary

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer , you will play a critical role in shaping the engineering foundation of our design-build projects. You will work alongside senior engineers, project managers, construction teams, and BIM specialists to design innovative, cost-effective, and constructible MEP systems. Your work will influence how systems are integrated from concept through construction and into long-term building performance.

Key Responsibilities

🔹 Design Development

  • Lead in the design and layout of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP / FP) systems for complex commercial and institutional buildings.
  • Perform engineering calculations, system sizing, and equipment selection using tools such as Trane TRACE, Carrier HAP, Revit, and Excel-based models.
  • Create and develop construction documents, drawings, schematics, riser diagrams, and specifications in collaboration with the BIM / VDC team.

🔹 Modeling & Documentation

  • Utilize Revit, AutoCAD, and other design software to produce 3D models and coordinate system layouts with other trades.
  • Support drawing submittals, updates, and as-builts throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Participate in clash detection reviews and model coordination using Navisworks or BIM 360.

    • 🔹 Engineering Analysis & Optimization

  • Conduct pressure drop, load, and energy analysis to ensure systems meet performance and sustainability criteria.
  • Identify value engineering opportunities and assist in life-cycle cost analysis and energy performance modeling.
  • Ensure system designs comply with codes (ASHRAE, NEC, NFPA), building regulations, and client standards.

    • 🔹 Design-Build Integration

  • Collaborate closely with construction, estimating, and procurement teams to ensure constructibility, cost-efficiency, and seamless design-to-build transitions.
  • Support prefabrication efforts through coordinated model reviews and detailed component breakdowns.
  • Participate in design-build kickoff meetings, constructability reviews, and equipment strategy planning.

    • 🔹 Client & Team Collaboration

  • Attend design meetings with owners, architects, consultants, and internal teams to present concepts, gather feedback, and implement revisions.
  • Assist in preparation of project design narratives, submittals, and basis-of-design documentation.
  • Respond to RFIs, submittal comments, and design change requests from construction partners and project stakeholders.

    • 🔹 Professional Development

  • Continuously build knowledge of industry trends, materials, systems, and tools through internal training and mentorship.
  • Support sustainability and innovation initiatives such as LEED certification, Net-Zero strategies, and new technology integration.
  • Participate in QA / QC reviews and lessons-learned processes.

    • Qualifications

    Education & Experience

  • Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related discipline is required.
  • 10 years of engineering experience in MEP design or construction

    • Technical Skills

  • Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, Microsoft Excel, and engineering software such as Trane TRACE, HAP, or SKM.
  • Familiarity with energy modeling, system controls, prefabrication techniques, and sustainability practices.
  • Knowledge of applicable building codes and standards (ASHRAE, NEC, NFPA, IBC, etc.).

    • Soft Skills

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Collaborative mindset with a proactive attitude and eagerness to learn.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
