• Evaluate project requirements and develop mechanical design solutions that meet operational, performance, safety, and reliability objectives.
• Assess equipment layouts, mechanical room requirements, piping routes, and ductwork arrangements to ensure efficient space utilization and accessibility for maintenance.
• Review mechanical design concepts and recommend improvements to system performance, energy efficiency, and operational reliability.

Technical Drawings and Design Documentation

• Prepare, develop, and revise mechanical and HVAC drawings using AutoCAD.
• Produce mechanical layouts, HVAC plans, ductwork and piping layouts, equipment arrangements, and other relevant technical drawings.
• Review drawings, technical specifications, equipment schedules, and design documents for accuracy, completeness, and consistency with project requirements.
• Incorporate design revisions and technical comments from clients, consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders.

Compliance with Engineering Codes and Standards

• Apply relevant ASHRAE standards and guidelines in HVAC system design, thermal environmental requirements, ventilation, and energy efficiency.
• Ensure that mechanical designs comply with applicable NFPA standards, fire and life-safety requirements, and other relevant building codes and regulations.
• Review project specifications and regulatory requirements to identify applicable design criteria and compliance obligations.
• Support technical reviews and address design comments related to code compliance, system performance, and safety.

Consultant, Contractor, and Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate with mechanical consultants, design consultants, contractors, subcontractors, equipment suppliers, and project management teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Attend technical meetings to discuss design requirements, resolve engineering concerns, and clarify mechanical system specifications.
• Review contractor-submitted shop drawings, material submittals, equipment data, and technical proposals, as assigned.
• Identify and resolve design conflicts, site constraints, and discrepancies between approved drawings and actual site conditions.

Qualifications:

• Must be a Registered Mechanical Engineer (RME) with a valid professional license.
• At least 3 -7 years of experience in mechanical engineering design, particularly HVAC system design and related engineering calculations.
• Experience in data center, mission-critical facility, or other high-reliability facility projects.
• Proficient in AutoCAD for preparing and revising mechanical/HVAC drawings.
• Knowledgeable in applicable ASHRAE standards and guidelines for HVAC design.
• Familiar with NFPA standards and relevant fire and life-safety requirements applicable to mechanical systems.
• Experience coordinating with consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and other engineering disciplines.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, equipment schedules, and project requirements.

Strongly Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience using Revit or Revit MEP for mechanical system modeling, coordination, and design documentation.
• Experience using HAP, TRACE, or equivalent HVAC engineering software for cooling load calculations, equipment sizing, and system analysis.

Technical Competencies:

• Mechanical and HVAC system design
• Cooling load and engineering calculations
• AutoCAD drafting and design documentation
• ASHRAE standards and NFPA requirements
• Revit/Revit MEP modeling and coordination
