Lead Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

The engineer will oversee the research, design, concept development, planning, installation, operation, maintenance, and integration of automatic temperature control, air distribution, hydronic, and plumbing systems. They will ensure that reports, documentation, and decisions meet or exceed industry standards for design, safety, and functionality. Key duties include collecting and analyzing data from sites, blueprints, and technical drawings; applying advanced mechanical engineering techniques to improve project phases; conducting research and inspections to verify compliance with codes and permits; and developing construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates. The Lead Engineer will manage mechanical design and construction from inception through completion, incorporate advanced technologies and future‑ready solutions, coordinate cross‑functional teams, and prepare visualizations, technical reports, and risk mitigation plans. They will also oversee health and safety plans, interact with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients, and stay current with industry practices. • Provide technical assistance for multi‑site due diligence, design, development, construction, testing, and inspection of mechanical systems. • Collect, compile, and analyze site data, surveys, schematics, and computer‑generated reports for project development. • Apply mechanical engineering methods to improve concept development, preliminary and final design, procurement, construction, and operation phases. • Conduct research and field inspections to assess existing conditions and ensure compliance with codes, standards, and permits. • Develop construction and installation plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety, and phasing plans, coordinating with owners and consultants. • Lead mechanical design and construction for new builds, rehabilitations, and reconstructions, including material selection and scheduling. • Integrate advanced technologies, monitoring devices, and modeling techniques to deliver future‑ready mechanical solutions. • Verify and advise on automatic temperature control, air distribution, hydronic, and plumbing system specifications. • Oversee cross‑functional engineering teams, managing budgets, schedules, material quantities, and regulatory documentation. • Review, coordinate, and approve installation design plans to ensure data integrity and code compliance. • Produce technical visualizations, calculations, drawings, and reports to communicate complex data and findings. • Analyze field investigation data to develop risk mitigation and action plans for high‑risk installations. • Prepare and implement site Health and Safety Plans (HASPs) and ensure adherence to safety policies. • Liaise confidently with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients throughout project lifecycle.
