• Ideally, experience developing HVAC load calculations, energy modeling, HVAC system selection, and equipment sizing.
• Background in Building Information Modeling (BIM), commissioning, energy audits, and utility master plans are a plus.
• Experience applying mechanical engineering concepts, adherence to national codes, and means and methods for building design and construction.
• LEED AP BD+C credential and/or GBI Guiding Principles Compliance Professional (preferred).

Benefits

• Member-ownership aligning client satisfaction, company performance, and personal reward.
• Paid Time Away: numerous paid holidays, generous paid time off (PTO), parental leave, and professional development leave.
