Mechanical Designer

Job Summary

In this role, you will plan, develop, and review mechanical design work, produce drawings and documentation, and prepare design estimates for a project. You will coordinate with clients, facilitate technical discussions, and review and approve drawings, calculations, and bid summaries. You will solve complex technical issues and ensure mechanical designs comply with all regulations and standards.

Major Responsibilities

• Leads or administers work of Mechanical designers and drafters for a business line technology to include the preparation of layouts, study drawings, detailed 2-D and 3-D Computer Aided Design (CAD) design models and construction drawings

• Develops designs for complete and complex Mechanical engineering systems such as earthwork, drainage, road design, foundation, and steel detailing with minimum supervision from which detailed scale models and/or construction drawings are completed

• Aids in constructing detailed scale models

• Prepares or assists with the preparation of assigned material requisitions and bid evaluations

• Monitors and checks work for compliance with approved Mechanical design standards to provide quality design, reliable/safe plant operation and construction economy

• Solves complex technical issues and ensures Mechanical systems designs comply with all applicable installation codes, regulations, and standards

• Participates in constructability reviews

• Prepares design and drafting procedures to standardize design effort

• Covers or makes jobsite visits, as required, to resolve problems and interpret drawings and documents

• Reviews Mechanical design scope changes, as required, for project management

• Endorses or prepares reports of work progress, as required, for project and discipline use

Education And Experience Requirements

• Degree or coursework in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or related field

• Minimum Ten (10) years’ industry experience with AutoCAD and BIM coordination platforms

• High attention to detail and commitment to quality deliverables

Required Knowledge And Skills

• Develop detailed HVAC ductwork layouts and 3D BIM models in Revit (MEP)

• Capable of creating a BIM Revit 3D model from scratch and detailing it up to LOD 300 / FEED phase and beyond into a LOD 400 / Detailed design, Issued for fabrication stage. This should incorporate complete HVAC ducting details including duct supports, instruments, fire-detection features and be ready for testing and balancing and commissioning

• Prepare construction documents including plans, sections, and details in accordance with consulting standards

• Coverage with electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural teams to ensure clash-free designs

• Perform model coordination and clash detection using Navisworks

• Interpret engineering calculations and translate them into constructible layouts

• Support engineers with design development, redlines, and revisions across project phases

• Apply industry standards such as ASHRAE guidelines and SMACNA duct standards

• Participation in internal QA/QC reviews to ensure accuracy and compliance

• Developed coordinated HVAC ductwork models and construction drawings in Autodesk Revit for multidisciplinary consulting projects
