Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical / Electrical Engineers

Senior-level mechanical engineers in a design-build firm play a critical role in ensuring the successful design, construction, and operation of mechanical systems in buildings and infrastructure projects. Their duties and responsibilities are extensive and encompass various aspects of the project lifecycle. Here is an overview of the key duties and responsibilities for senior-level mechanical engineers in a design-build firm:

Project Leadership:

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and team members.
• Lead and manage the mechanical engineering team on projects.

Design and Analysis:

• Develop and oversee the design of mechanical systems, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Perform calculations, simulations, and analysis to ensure system performance and compliance with codes and standards.
• Review and approve designs created by junior engineers and drafters.

Code and Standards Compliance:

• Ensure that all mechanical designs adhere to relevant building codes, standards, and regulations.
• Stay updated on industry codes and standards, and integrate them into design processes.

Technical Expertise:

• Stay current with the latest developments in mechanical engineering and apply innovative solutions to projects.
• Resolve complex technical issues related to mechanical systems.

Client Interaction:

• Maintain regular communication with clients to understand their needs and address any concerns.
• Participate in client meetings and presentations.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:

• Incorporate energy-efficient and sustainable design principles into mechanical systems to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
• Evaluate and recommend renewable energy solutions when appropriate.

Construction Support:

• Provide technical support during the construction phase, including responding to contractor inquiries and conducting site visits.
• Assist in commissioning and startup activities for mechanical systems.

Safety Compliance:

• Promote and ensure safety compliance in mechanical engineering activities and designs.

Innovation and Research:

• Conduct research and development activities to explore new technologies and materials that can enhance mechanical system performance.

Client Satisfaction:

• Strive to exceed client expectations by delivering high-quality mechanical engineering solutions that meet project objectives.

These duties and responsibilities collectively contribute to the successful execution of mechanical engineering projects within a design-build firm, ensuring that mechanical systems are designed, installed, and operated efficiently and in compliance with industry standards and client requirements.
