Key Responsibilities:

Mechanic and HVAC System Design

Design and develop mechanical and HVAC systems for data center facilities, ensuring appropriate cooling capacity, airflow distribution, temperature control, and ventilation.

Evaluate project requirements and develop mechanical design solutions that meet operational, performance, safety, and reliability objectives.

Assess equipment layouts, mechanical room requirements, piping routes, and ductwork arrangements to ensure efficient space utilization and accessibility for maintenance.

Review mechanical design concepts and recommend improvements to system performance, energy efficiency, and operational reliability.

Technical Drawings and Design Documentation

Prepare, develop, and revise mechanical and HVAC drawings using AutoCAD.

Produce mechanical layouts, HVAC plans, ductwork and piping layouts, equipment arrangements, and other relevant technical drawings.

Review drawings, technical specifications, equipment schedules, and design documents for accuracy, completeness, and consistency with project requirements.

Incorporate design revisions and technical comments from clients, consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders.

Compliance with Engineering Codes and Standards

Apply relevant ASHRAE standards and guidelines in HVAC system design, thermal environmental requirements, ventilation, and energy efficiency.

Ensure that mechanical designs comply with applicable NFPA standards, fire and life-safety requirements, and other relevant building codes and regulations.

Review project specifications and regulatory requirements to identify applicable design criteria and compliance obligations.

Support technical reviews and address design comments related to code compliance, system performance, and safety.

Consultant, Contractor, and Stakeholder Coordination

Coordinate with mechanical consultants, design consultants, contractors, subcontractors, equipment suppliers, and project management teams throughout the project lifecycle.

Attend technical meetings to discuss design requirements, resolve engineering concerns, and clarify mechanical system specifications.

Review contractor-submitted shop drawings, material submittals, equipment data, and technical proposals, as assigned.

Identify and resolve design conflicts, site constraints, and discrepancies between approved drawings and actual site conditions.

Qualifications:

Must be a Registered Mechanical Engineer (RME) with a valid professional license.

At least 3 -7 years of experience in mechanical engineering design, particularly HVAC system design and related engineering calculations.

Experience in data center, mission-critical facility, or other high-reliability facility projects.

Proficient in AutoCAD for preparing and revising mechanical/HVAC drawings.

Knowledgeable in applicable ASHRAE standards and guidelines for HVAC design.

Familiar with NFPA standards and relevant fire and life-safety requirements applicable to mechanical systems.

Experience coordinating with consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and other engineering disciplines.

Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, equipment schedules, and project requirements.

Strongly Preferred Qualifications

Experience using Revit or Revit MEP for mechanical system modeling, coordination, and design documentation.

Experience using HAP, TRACE, or equivalent HVAC engineering software for cooling load calculations, equipment sizing, and system analysis.
