Mechanical Engineer I (New Grad, Summer 2026)

Description

Support the basic design and lay-out of mechanical systems in conformance with code requirements and will help coordinate the design with other disciplines

The Mechanical Engineer is an entry-level position and performs their job functions under the direct supervision of a project’s Engineer-of-Record and/or Lead Mechanical Engineer. Mechanical engineering focuses on the design and engineering of HVAC, mechanical utility, (plumbing, fire protection), and other building support systems into the built work environment. Typical tasks and deliverables include load calculations, utility assessments, energy modeling, design reports, code evaluations, plans, schedules, installation details, specification and coordination with manufacturers and trade partners. Tasks will include utilizing computer aided drafting and engineering software.

Assist in the preparation of deliverables and specific project work may include all levels of design such as studies, conceptual and schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and construction administration.

Conducts basic field investigations to integrate the design with existing systems and structures

Work closely with other architects, engineers, and designers, as well as other internal and external team members to ensure a coordinated, constructible, and complete design

Works on matters of fundamental and basic complexity in a support role under the direction of more experienced engineers and designers
