Description

MEI is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our design team and play an integral role in the development of mechanical systems for mission-critical projects. The scope of work includes data centers, industrial buildings, offices, and other high-profile construction projects. This role will be highly collaborative, working closely with MEI staff, clients, vendors, and external disciplines. Travel to job sites may be required for site observations, inspections, and client meetings.

Minimum Qualifications:

•       Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
•       5–7+ years of professional mechanical engineering design experience, ideally with data centers or other mission-critical projects.
•       Valid Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or very highly experienced designer.
•       Proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, BIM, load analysis software, and MS Office tools.
•       Strong understanding of HVAC systems, plumbing systems, and mechanical codes.
•       Excellent communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.
•       Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines.
•       Proven experience leading design efforts for data centers, green building, or energy efficiency projects. 

Requirements

•       Design and document mechanical and plumbing systems (HVAC, piping, ductwork, and equipment placement) using Revit and other engineering tools.
•       Perform load calculations, equipment sizing, and system performance analysis to ensure efficient and accurate designs.
•       Oversee and review drawings, specifications, and submittals throughout design and construction phases.
•       Select and schedule mechanical equipment and systems while considering cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and sustainability goals.
•       Coordinate with architects, electrical engineers, structural engineers, and other disciplines to ensure seamless integration within BIM models.
•       Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior staff and support professional growth within the team.
•       Review RFIs, change orders, and record drawings; participate in site visits, inspections, and commissioning activities.
•       Ensure designs comply with local, state, and national building codes, energy codes, and industry standards.
•       Stay current on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in mechanical design and sustainability.
