Full Job Posting

Experience

  • 8+ years of mechanical building design, including a senior or lead role
  • Reports to
  • Mechanical Lead
  • Project types
  • Commercial, institutional, low- and high-rise, and multi-family residential buildings across Alberta and Canada
  • Why this role
  • You'll lead mechanical design — heating, cooling, ventilation, plumbing and controls — on commercial, institutional, low- and high-rise and multi-family residential buildings. Our electrical, structural, fire protection and energy modelling teams are in-house, so coordination happens inside one firm instead of across four consultants.
  • Must-haves
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
  • P.Eng. with APEGA, in good standing.
  • 8+ years designing mechanical systems for commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings.
  • Experience in a senior or lead role, including mentoring others and reviewing their work.
  • Strong working knowledge of Alberta's building codes and mechanical standards.
  • Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, and HAP or similar load software.
  • Confident with clients and comfortable supporting business development.
  • What you'll do
  • Lead the mechanical scope through every project phase, meeting code, budget, schedule and client requirements.
  • Be the technical authority for heating, cooling, ventilation, plumbing and controls on your projects.
  • Run and review load calculations (HAP or similar), and review and approve drawings, specifications and design documents.
  • Mentor intermediate and junior engineers and designers through design reviews and day-to-day guidance.
  • Build and improve our mechanical standards, procedures and QA/QC practices.
  • Represent the mechanical discipline with clients, AHJs, suppliers and contractors.
  • Support construction — review shop drawings and submittals, visit sites and resolve field issues.
  • Help win work — proposals, fee estimates and client relationships.
  • What success looks like after year one
  • The mechanical standards and QA/QC checks you've set are in use on every Calgary project.
  • Intermediate engineers on the team bring their questions to you first — and need you less by year-end.
  • You've shaped proposals and fee estimates on new work, and clients ask for you by name.
