Take Ownership of the Design

At Net Positive Consulting Engineers, our Mechanical Designers play an active role in moving projects forward. This position is for someone who is ready to take greater ownership of building systems design, apply engineering judgment, and work directly with project teams from early design through construction.

You’ll collaborate with engineers, architects, consultants, and other disciplines while developing HVAC, and plumbing systems for a wide range of building types. It’s an opportunity to strengthen your technical expertise, expand your project responsibilities, and continue growing within the profession.

What You’ll Do

  • Design HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems with limited oversight from senior engineering staff.
  • Perform engineering calculations and evaluate design options to develop practical, code-compliant solutions.
  • Develop and coordinate construction documents using Revit, AutoCAD, and other design tools.
  • Apply applicable California building, mechanical, energy, ASHRAE, and NFPA codes and standards.
  • Serve as a mechanical point of contact on assigned projects and coordinate with internal disciplines, architects, and outside consultants.
  • Participate in site investigations and project meetings, documenting existing conditions and helping develop design solutions.
  • Support projects during construction through submittal reviews, RFIs, and other Construction Administration responsibilities.
  • Continue building technical expertise through training, professional development, and hands-on project experience.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 2+ years of relevant design experience.
  • Strong ability to read and interpret construction documents.
  • Proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, and mechanical drafting standards.
  • Ability to develop drawings and design solutions with minimal direction from the Engineer of Record.
  • Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to independently research design challenges and exercise sound technical judgment.

What To Expect

This is primarily an office-based position with a typical Monday–Friday schedule, with opportunities to get into the field and see your designs come to life. Site visits may include active construction environments, rooftops, ladders, and other areas requiring adherence to project safety requirements. Periodic overtime or weekend work may be necessary as project deadlines require.

If you’re ready to move beyond simply supporting projects and begin taking real ownership of the design, this is an opportunity to grow your technical skills, broaden your experience, and make an impact on the projects you work on.
