Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer Our Mechanical Engineering team is looking to add an experienced team member to our group of talented engineers. The Mechanical Engineer builds on foundational experience to take independent ownership of portions of project design, documentation, and coordination. About HED We are a team that is full of ideas, experience, creativity, passionate opinions, insatiable curiosity, uncompromising integrity, commitment, and skill. Our culture is about aspiration, embracing change and challenges, listening to (and learning from) each other, encouraging continual learning, and inspiring collective growth. As an inclusive, integrated architecture and engineering practice, we value the diversity of perspectives, experiences, abilities, and expertise that advance both the work we do, and the world we share. Position Summary This role is trusted to perform mechanical engineering tasks with minimal supervision and supports project delivery from concept through construction. The Mechanical Engineer III serves as a technical contributor and emerging mentor, contributing to calculations, code research, QAQC, and coordination across disciplines. Individuals in this role are expected to deepen their technical knowledge, begin supporting client interaction, and develop the critical thinking required for future engineering leadership roles. Essential Functions Lead design development and calculations for assigned mechanical systems across schematic, design development, and construction document phases. Independently perform mechanical design tasks – such as load calculations, equipment sizing, controls sequences and diagrams, and code compliance checks - with minimal input. Prepare technical documentation for mechanical systems, including system descriptions and narratives, Division 21, 22 & 23 specifications, equipment schedules, and redline markups. Develop and review mechanical system layouts in Revit – including HVAC, plumbing and/or fire protection - in coordination with architectural and structural backgrounds. Coordinate mechanical design with internal disciplines and external consultants to resolve design conflicts and progress design. Review and respond to mechanical RFIs and submittals with support from engineers Perform field verification for mechanical conditions, assist with punch walks, and participate in mechanical construction observation visits. Participate in early-phase design strategy discussions and support mechanical discipline leads with technical insight. Engage in internal QAQC processes and perform peer reviews of mechanical drawings and documentation for code compliance and drafting consistency. Begin mentoring mechanical designers and interns in software use, modeling best practices, documentation standards, and calculation basics. Participate in internal and external project meetings, and support the preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, and follow-up documentation with a focus…
