Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, and other engineering disciplines.
Review construction drawings, shop drawings, equipment submittals, and contractor proposals.
Conduct site visits and field investigations to evaluate existing conditions and resolve construction-related issues.
Provide technical support during construction and assist in resolving mechanical system design and installation challenges.
Ensure compliance with applicable Massachusetts building, mechanical, plumbing, and energy codes.
Coordinate directly with internal project managers, architects, contractors, and property management personnel.
Effectively manage multiple projects and assignments while meeting deadlines and responding to evolving priorities.

7–10 years of experience in the design of commercial HVAC and plumbing systems.
Fluent in AutoCAD, including preparation and modification of construction documents.

Ability to independently develop engineering solutions, perform design calculations, and prepare construction documents.
Strong technical, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
