AlphaHire is a United States recruiting agency focused on the construction and skilled-trades labour market, placing superintendents, project managers, estimators and engineers with contractors nationwide. It works for commercial, residential and industrial builders in metros from Boston and Memphis to Houston, Naples and Nashville, running searches on behalf of client firms rather than employing the placed staff itself. The agency also publishes labour-market analysis through its Workforce Intelligence Lab, which tracks compensation trends, contractor growth and workforce scarcity across the construction industry.
We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with strong expertise in HVAC and MEP design for commercial, institutional, and specialized facilities.
This is a hands-on engineering position focused on mechanical system design, engineering calculations, analysis, and construction documentation. The successful candidate will serve as an Engineer of Record, providing technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle-from initial concept and design through construction and final closeout.
Project types may include healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other technically complex facilities.
Responsibilities
- Design HVAC and mechanical systems for commercial, institutional, and specialized facilities.
- Perform HVAC load calculations, energy analysis, equipment selection, ventilation design, and other engineering calculations.
- Develop construction drawings, specifications, equipment schedules, and technical documentation.
- Serve as the Engineer of Record and provide technical oversight throughout design and construction.
- Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
- Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
- Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
- Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues.
- Develop practical engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives.
- Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
- Maintain a high standard of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project.
Requirements
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience; 10+ years preferred.
- Proven experience designing HVAC and MEP systems for commercial and institutional facilities.
- Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, ventilation, mechanical codes, and energy-efficiency principles.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or comparable mechanical design software.
- Experience developing, reviewing, and sealing engineering drawings and calculations.
- Strong technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary engineering, architectural, and construction teams.
- Hands-on HVAC and mechanical design experience is required.
- Experience with healthcare, municipal, institutional, veterinary, or other complex facilities is preferred.
- Candidates whose experience is primarily project management without substantial mechanical design experience will not be considered.
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
- Paid time off and company holidays.
- Continuing education and professional development support.
- Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
- Collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
- Long-term career growth and advancement opportunities.
