Lead Mechanical Engineer (PE): Infrastructure Strategy & Longevity


ENGINEERING OBJECTIVE:

At Haynes Mechanical, we view existing buildings as complex, evolving systems rather than static assets. We understand that a "Like-for-Like" replacement may not be the ideal solution. Instead, we seek a Subject Matter Expert to perform deep-dive engineering studies and system designs that prioritize longevity and solve the root cause of mechanical issues.


CORE TECHNICAL RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Holistic System Analysis: Conduct technical evaluations and in-field verification of existing MEP systems.
  • High-Impact Design: Perform rigorous heating/cooling load calculations to ensure new equipment is right-sized to meet the needs of the building.
  • Functional Mechanical Layouts: Execute full-cycle design for HVAC ductwork and piping, ensuring layouts are optimized for ease of maintenance and long-term serviceability.
  • Creative Problem-Solving: Evaluate current design criteria to provide solutions that improve building performance through operational changes and controls optimization beyond a standard like-for-like approach.
  • Compliance & Integrity: Produce stamped construction documents and technical specifications that meet current codes while exceeding industry standards for durability.


CUSTOMER IMPACT & PROJECT VARIETY:

  • Dynamic Project Portfolio: Lead engineering efforts across a wide spectrum of environments in the commercial retrofit market, with projects ranging from standard office buildings to complex mechanical infrastructure in facilities like hospitals/labs, manufacturing facilities, and data centers.
  • Inter-Disciplinary Coordination: Serve as the technical lead when coordinating with building automation, structural, and electrical teams to ensure a seamless, cohesive final product.
  • Business Development Support: Assist the sales team with customer visits to act as the "voice of engineering", building trust through technical expertise and transparent communication.
  • Innovation: Explore new technologies and stay abreast of current industry and market trends to ensure designs remain relevant for decades, not just years.


REQUIREMENTS:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Licensure: Registered Professional Engineer (PE)
  • Experience: 6 years in HVAC design with a focus on mechanical infrastructure and commercial retrofits
  • Software: High proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Revit MEP
  • Code Expertise: Knowledge of building HVAC and energy codes
