• Coordinate mechanical designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
• Review and respond to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
• Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
• Identify and resolve design, code, coordination, and constructability issues.
• Develop practical engineering solutions that meet project requirements and client objectives.
• Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, energy requirements, and client specifications.
• Maintain a high standard of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout each project.
