We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Mechanical Engineer to join our HVAC engineering team. In this role, you will assist in the design, analysis, and implementation of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems for commercial, industrial, institutional, or healthcare facilities. This position is ideal for recent engineering graduates or early-career professionals eager to develop hands-on experience in HVAC system design, equipment selection, and project coordination.
Assist in performing heating and cooling load calculations, duct sizing, and piping layouts under the supervision of senior engineers.
Support the development of HVAC design drawings, schematics, and specifications using tools like AutoCAD and Revit.
Prepare equipment schedules and assist with system selection, including AHUs, chillers, pumps, fans, and terminal units.
Perform basic energy modeling, ventilation rate calculations, and psychrometric analysis.
Participate in site surveys, construction walk-throughs, and commissioning support as needed.
Review and organize submittals, RFIs, and as-built documentation.
Ensure HVAC designs meet relevant codes and standards (ASHRAE, IMC, IECC, local building codes).
Collaborate with electrical, plumbing, and architectural teams to ensure integrated and coordinated system designs.
Learn about sustainable HVAC practices, including energy efficiency and green building certifications (e.g., LEED).
