  • Work closely with the design engineer of record, general contractor, and internal stakeholders to resolve RFIs, design conflicts, and constructability concerns.
  • Support permit submissions by reviewing mechanical design elements for completeness and alignment with approved intent.
  • Review contractor submittals within the mechanical scope to help keep procurement and construction activities on track.
  • Identify coordination issues early to reduce risk of change orders, schedule delays, and rework during installation.

Skills

  • Strong background in mechanical engineering design review.
  • Working knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, cooling tower, and chiller systems.
  • Familiarity with mechanical codes and standards such as IMC, IPC, and NFPA.
  • Ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders and communicate technical issues clearly.
  • Experience reviewing design documents, RFIs, and submittals.
  • Detail-oriented approach with strong problem-solving and follow-through.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving project environment.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience supporting permit packages and authority review processes.
  • Background working with general contractors and design engineer of record teams.
  • Exposure to large-scale construction or industrial project environments.
  • Knowledge of constructability review practices and coordination workflows.
  • Comfort navigating complex design packages and multi-discipline coordination.
