Mechanical Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for overseeing the discipline and managing the discipline budget on small to medium projects of limited complexity. The Mechanical Engineer coordinates with internal and external architects and engineers, as well as client, construction manager, subcontractor, and vendor interfaces. The Mechanical Engineer possesses the demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex tasks, establish priorities and direct the work of others. The Engineer may work independently or at the direction of the Lead Engineer or Project Manager. Expected to act as the Engineer-of-Record for small projects where functioning in a Lead Mechanical Engineer role.
