Ensure Technical Excellence – provide high‑level oversight of system design, calculations, specifications, and reviews for HVAC, piping, plumbing, fire protection, and energy systems.
Drive Design Quality and Consistency – develop and implement design standards, QA/QC processes, and technical guidelines to ensure consistent, code‑compliant engineering solutions.
Collaborate in Pre‑Construction & Design Phases – partner with internal disciplines and external stakeholders early in the design process to integrate mechanical solutions into overall project strategies.
Represent Mechanical Engineering with Clients and Partners – serve as the executive point of contact for the mechanical scope, fostering trusted relationships with clients, contractors, and facility owners.
Lead and Mentor Teams – develop and mentor mechanical engineers and designers, ensuring scalable delivery capacity and succession planning.
Monitor Performance & Profitability – establish KPIs and reporting systems for project quality, efficiency, resource allocation, and client satisfaction.
Innovate & Improve – identify opportunities for design innovation, energy efficiency, and sustainability in system solutions; stay ahead of emerging codes, standards, and technologies.
Ensure Compliance and Safety – maintain adherence to applicable codes, industry standards (ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, local codes), and client protocols while promoting a strong safety and quality culture across teams.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Master's preferred.
12+ years of progressive experience in mechanical engineering with extensive exposure to mission‑critical, data center, or large‑scale infrastructure projects.
5+ years in a leadership role with responsibility for technical teams, budgets, and strategic operations.
Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred.
Expertise in HVAC, chilled water systems, CRAC/CRAH units, boilers, piping, fire protection, and controls integration.
Strong experience reviewing and stamping designs, calculations, and technical documentation.
Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through complex, high‑stakes project environments.
