As a Building Mechanical Engineer at Jacobs, you’ll be at the cutting edge of our efforts to bring innovation and excellence to some of the most exciting infrastructure projects in the region. You’ll use your exceptional design and analytical skills to lead the planning and design of mechanical (plumbing, HVAC, odor control, and fire protection) systems primarily for municipal facilities for water and wastewater projects, but you’ll also contribute to federal, industrial, and institutional projects.
You’ll prepare design drawings and specifications for submission to clients, as well as provide jurisdictional plan checks and permitting support. Engineered systems you’ll be working with include plumbing systems, HVAC package systems, central plants, air distribution, hydronic systems, odor control systems, and associated controls.
You’ll also have the opportunity to:
• Design complete plumbing systems, including utility and potable water distribution systems, drainage systems, and miscellaneous systems such as compressed air and natural gas.
• Design complete HVAC systems, including package type and central plants.
• Design odor control systems, including vapor and liquid phase treatment technologies.
• Design fire protection systems using a performance system approach.
• Prepare calculations for plumbing systems, including water and drainage flows, water heater sizing, and pump sizing and selection.
• Perform calculations for design, such as air loads, pipe/duct/equipment sizing, ventilation requirements, static pressure, odor removal, life-cycle costs, and energy analyses.
• Select equipment, coordinate with equipment vendors, and edit specifications.
• Conduct field evaluations and develop as-built drawings.
• Develop master plans and perform field investigations.
• Conduct technology alternatives analyses using multi-criteria analysis tools for selecting odor control systems.
• Manage and coordinate work with architects, technicians, and engineers of other disciplines.
• Attend meetings and communicate with clients, vendors, and other project stakeholders to establish project needs and discuss design issues.
• Manage quality and schedule of work and interface with clients.
• Support field staff during construction phase of projects, including responding to submittal reviews and requests for information.
• Provide design guidance and mentorship to designers/drafters and less experienced engineers.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (BSME) or chemical engineering (BSChE) from an ABET accredited institution is preferred, but consideration will be given to candidates with degrees in other fields of engineering.
• 5+ years producing plumbing, HVAC, odor control, and fire protection design drawings and specifications for construction. Less experience in any one of these disciplines is not considered cause for disqualification. However, you will be required to work in all stated disciplines.
• PE License, or ability to obtain immediately upon hire.
• Working knowledge of applicable building codes and standards such as ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, IBC, etc.
• Good writing skills and experience preparing technical specifications and reports.
• Willingness to learn new skills and practices as needed.
• Carrier HAP or Trane Trace experience is desirable, but not required.
