Full Job Posting
Experience
- Around 4–6 years of mechanical building design, including your EIT years
- Reports to
- Mechanical Lead
- Project types
- Commercial, institutional, low- and high-rise, and multi-family residential buildings across Alberta and Canada
- Why this role
- We're growing our mechanical team in Edmonton. You'll take ownership of the mechanical design — heating, cooling, ventilation and plumbing — on commercial, institutional and multi-family residential buildings, coordinate directly with our own electrical, structural, fire protection and energy modelling teams, and help develop the junior engineers and designers working alongside you.
- Must-haves
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
- P.Eng. with APEGA, in good standing — newly licensed is welcome.
- Around 4–6 years of mechanical building design experience, including your EIT years.
- HVAC and plumbing design experience on commercial or multi-family buildings.
- Working proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, and HAP or similar load software.
- Clear written and spoken English — you'll write reports and present to clients.
- What you'll do
- Own the mechanical design on your projects — concept, calculations, drawings, specifications and construction support.
- Run load calculations and size systems in HAP or similar, and turn your design into clear drawings in Revit with our design team.
- Coordinate with architects and our in-house electrical, structural, fire protection and energy modelling teams so designs are resolved before they reach site.
- Be the mechanical point of contact for your clients — in meetings, in presentations and on site.
- Get out on site to review construction, answer RFIs, review shop drawings and submittals, and resolve field issues.
- Mentor junior engineers and designers, and review their work.
- Keep your scope on budget and on schedule, working with the project manager — and spot opportunities for repeat work with the clients you serve.
- What success looks like after year one
- You're running the mechanical scope on several projects at once, with your Mechanical Lead reviewing rather than directing.
- Architects and clients call you directly with mechanical questions.
- A junior engineer or designer on your projects is noticeably stronger because of your reviews.
