HVAC Mechanical Engineer – Building Systems Design
You will join a multidisciplinary building-services team as the lead HVAC Mechanical Engineer. From conceptual load analysis to final commissioning, you shepherd every airflow, pipe loop, and control sequence. Your work delivers code-compliant comfort, slashes utility costs, and supports healthy indoor air. You will collaborate remotely with architects, structural engineers, and sustainability consultants—leveraging Revit MEP, Trane TRACE 3D Plus, and Carrier HAP to shape data-driven solutions.
Responsibilities
- Produce heating and cooling load calculations consistent with ASHRAE 90.1 and local energy codes.
- Model complete HVAC systems in Revit MEP, generating coordinated ductwork, hydronic, and refrigerant routing.
- Select chillers, boilers, air-handling units, VAV boxes, pumps, and fans with life-cycle cost in mind.
- Draft mechanical schedules, details, and specifications that integrate with BAS protocols.
- Direct clash-detection sessions with electrical and plumbing disciplines—resolving issues before construction.
- Conduct energy audits for existing facilities; recommend retro-commissioning and IAQ upgrades.
- Prepare control narratives and sequence diagrams for DDC integration.
- Support field commissioning, functional testing, and TAB verification to close out projects.
- Maintain project documentation for third-party sustainability certifications (LEED, WELL, CHPS).
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; PE license or ability to obtain within 12 months.
- 5+ years designing HVAC systems for commercial, institutional, or mixed-use buildings.
- Proficiency in Revit MEP, AutoCAD, Trane TRACE 3D Plus, and Carrier HAP.
- Command of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and psychrometrics.
- Working knowledge of BAS architectures (BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks) and commissioning protocols.
- Familiarity with energy modeling tools (eQuest, EnergyPlus) and decarbonization strategies (heat pumps, VRF, ERV).
- Strong communication skills—you translate technical jargon into actionable insight for non-engineers.
Preferred
- Experience with net-zero or all-electric designs.
- ASHRAE Certified Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) or Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP).
- Fluency in advanced airflow simulation (CFD) and parametric optimization.
