Design HVAC, plumbing, and piping systems for commercial facilities such as hospitals, data centers, and high-rise buildings.
Create detailed 3D models, layouts, and fabrication-ready shop drawings using Revit MEP and AutoCAD.
Perform heating/cooling load calculations , duct and pipe sizing, and equipment selection based on project requirements.
Ensure compliance with relevant codes and standards including ASHRAE, IMC, IPC, and SMACNA.
Collaborate with project managers, field foremen, and BIM/VDC teams to verify constructability and resolve design issues.
Participate in coordination meetings and communicate effectively across trades.
Respond to RFIs, submittals, and field requests during construction.
Support system commissioning, testing, and project closeout documentation.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (required).
3+ years of experience designing mechanical building systems (HVAC, plumbing, piping) for commercial projects.
Experience with hospitals, data centers, or high-rise buildings preferred.
Proficient in Revit MEP and AutoCAD (required).
Working knowledge of ASHRAE, IMC, IPC, and SMACNA standards.
Engineer-In-Training (EIT) certification preferred; progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure a plus.
