Mechanical Design Engineer

Position Overview: We are seeking a detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer to develop, document, and deliver mechanical systems and components for commercial and industrial projects. The successful candidate will produce accurate CAD and Revit models and drawings, perform HVAC and mechanical design calculations, ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards, and collaborate with project teams to take concepts through to manufacture and installation.

Key Responsibilities: Develop detailed mechanical designs, 2D drawings, and 3D models using AutoCAD and Revit for HVAC and related mechanical systems. Perform HVAC load calculations, equipment selection and ductwork piping design to meet project requirements and energy performance targets. Prepare and maintain bills of materials, assembly drawings, specifications and fabrication details for manufacturing and procurement. Coordinate with architects, electrical engineers, contractors and vendors to resolve design issues and integrate mechanical systems into building designs. Ensure designs comply with relevant codes, standards and regulations (e.g., ASHRAE, NFPA, local building codes) and maintain accurate design documentation. Support prototyping, testing and commissioning activities, troubleshoot field issues and implement design improvements based on feedback. Participate in project reviews, cost estimating, scheduling and provide technical input for proposals and change orders. Drive continuous improvement through design optimization, standardization of details and adherence to quality assurance processes.

Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.3+ years of mechanical design experience, with demonstrated HVAC design and building systems knowledge. Proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit for creating and coordinating 2D drawings and 3D models. Strong understanding of HVAC principles, load calculations, ductwork and piping design, equipment selection and energy efficiency strategies. Experience with mechanical design calculations, material selection, and preparing fabrication-ready drawings and BOMs. Familiarity with building codes and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, NFPA) and experience ensuring regulatory compliance. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines. Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.

Preferred: experience with project management software, knowledge of manufacturing processes, and a professional engineer (PE) license or certification in HVAC design.
