Senior Mechanical Engineer/Project Manager

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer/Project Manager, you will lead the design and delivery of complex mechanical systems for mission-critical facilities and building projects.
You will oversee engineering activities from early design through construction documentation, ensuring technical excellence, code compliance, and alignment with project objectives.
Working with multidisciplinary teams, clients, vendors, and contractors, you will develop practical solutions that meet demanding performance and reliability requirements.
Your expertise will help shape mechanical infrastructure for critical environments, including data centers, telecommunications facilities, and other specialized buildings.
You will combine advanced mechanical design knowledge with project management, quality assurance, and technical leadership across multiple concurrent projects.
This role offers the flexibility of remote work while requiring occasional site visits and in-person client meetings in California and other relevant locations.
You will also mentor engineering and design professionals, manage project resources, and help deliver high-quality outcomes within established budgets and schedules.

The ideal candidate is an experienced mechanical engineer with strong project management capabilities, advanced building systems knowledge, and the leadership skills needed to deliver technically demanding projects. You should bring:

• At least 10 years of experience in mechanical design and/or project management.

• A degree in engineering and a valid Professional Engineer (PE) license.

• Demonstrated experience in building design and mechanical engineering for complex facilities.

• Strong technical proficiency in CAD drawings, engineering calculations, mechanical specifications, and design documentation.

• Extensive knowledge of applicable building and mechanical codes and the ability to ensure compliance throughout the design process.

• Advanced understanding of HVAC systems, including chilled and hot water systems, hydronic systems, air-side systems, variable- and constant-flow applications, and water-source heat pumps.

• Experience with equipment sizing, selection, scheduling, and performance analysis for a range of mechanical and HVAC equipment.

• A thorough understanding of psychrometrics, humid-climate design risks, and total-energy concepts.

• Strong project planning and management skills, including budget control, resource allocation, schedule management, and delivery across multiple concurrent projects.

• Experience reviewing calculations and technical documentation, performing QA/QC, resolving installation issues, and responding to RFIs and submittals.

• Proven leadership, mentoring, communication, and multidisciplinary coordination skills.

• The ability to work effectively with clients, vendors, contractors, and internal engineering teams.

• Experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, or the telecommunications industry is preferred.

• Flexibility to work remotely while attending site visits and in-person client meetings as project requirements dictate.
