From AlphaHire's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with strong hands-on expertise in HVAC and MEP design to support a diverse portfolio of commercial, institutional, healthcare, municipal, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.
This is a hands-on engineering role, not a project management position. The ideal candidate will independently design mechanical systems, perform engineering calculations, develop construction documents, and serve as the Engineer of Record throughout the project lifecycle.
Responsibilities
Design HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial, institutional, healthcare, and specialized facilities.
Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and mechanical engineering calculations.
Develop detailed construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
Serve as the Engineer of Record, providing technical oversight from initial concept and design through construction and closeout.
Coordinate mechanical systems with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other disciplines.
Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
Conduct field investigations, site visits, inspections, and construction observations.
Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues.
Develop practical and cost-effective engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives.
Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and final project closeout.
Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
Review, seal, and take responsibility for engineering drawings and calculations as required.
Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project.
Requirements
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
Proven hands-on experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional facilities.
Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, ventilation, mechanical codes, and energy-efficiency requirements.
Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or comparable mechanical design software.
Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings, specifications, and calculations.
Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
Hands-on mechanical/HVAC design experience is required.
Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other technically complex facilities preferred.
Candidates with primarily project management backgrounds and limited hands-on 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
Long-term career growth and advancement opportunities
