Senior Mechanical Engineer

Hiring Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the engineering and design efforts for mechanical and plumbing projects.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys managing projects, working directly with clients, mentoring developing staff, and transforming field conditions and project goals into coordinated, code-compliant, construction-ready solutions. The individual will be accountable for technical quality, project execution, and day-to-day engineering coordination on assigned work. The successful candidate will balance sound engineering judgment with clear communication, constructability, and a collaborative design-build mindset.
Responsibilities:

• Lead mechanical and plumbing engineering and design activities for assigned projects from early planning through construction support.
• Develop system concepts, design criteria, calculations, equipment selections, specifications, and permit and construction documents.
• Manage engineering scope, schedule, budget, priorities, and day-to-day communication for assigned projects.
• Coordinate directly with clients and internal partners, including account managers, estimators, project managers, VDC, construction teams, designers, and other engineering disciplines.
• Perform site surveys, document existing conditions, evaluate building systems, and troubleshoot operational or performance issues.
• Prepare clear technical reports and engineering studies, including condition assessments, feasibility evaluations, and energy audits.
• Apply applicable building codes, energy codes, industry standards, and sound engineering practices to produce accurate and complete deliverables.
• Review designs for technical accuracy, coordination, constructability, maintainability, and alignment with project requirements.
• Delegate work and provide technical direction, review, and mentorship to junior engineers, designers, modelers/drafters, and interns.
• Participate in client meetings, design reviews, coordination meetings, and construction-phase discussions.
• Ensure engineering deliverables are accurate, coordinated, constructible, and on time.
• Provide clients and internal teams with timely, clear, and practical technical guidance.
• Identify and address project risks, design conflicts, scope gaps, and schedule concerns collaboratively.
• Provide effective direction, feedback, and growth opportunities to junior team members.
• Ensure design decisions reflect both engineering requirements and real-world installation, operation, and maintenance considerations.

Qualifications Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering field.
• At least four (4) years of relevant experience.
• Working knowledge of building codes and standards applicable to mechanical and plumbing design.
• Experience with several of the following systems: Mechanical/HVAC, plumbing, energy, refrigeration, controls, central plants, and industrial & process systems.
• Proficiency with load calculation software.
• Ability to develop and review engineering calculations, equipment selections, specifications, and construction drawings.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and communicate clearly with clients, vendors, and construction teams.
• Strong written communication, organization, professional judgment, and team-leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience leading engineering work for commercial, institutional, manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, industrial, or similar building projects.
• Experience in a design-build, contractor-led, or highly collaborative project-delivery environment.
• Knowledge of construction cost estimating or high-level budgeting strategies.
• Proficiency with Revit 3D modeling and/or 2D AutoCAD drafting.
• Familiarity with Autodesk and Microsoft 365 software.
• Experience mentoring junior technical staff and coordinating multidisciplinary deliverables.
