Job Description

Irvine, CA Work Model:

Long‑term consulting role with strong conversion intent This role is for engineers who still do the work .

5-10+ years of HVAC & plumbing system design experience Strong experience with mechanical calculations (loads, sizing, pumps) Proficiency in Revit MEP (current production experience required) Experience designing both HVAC and plumbing systems Experience producing construction documents (not just coordination/redlines) EIT requiredPreferred:
