Full Job Description

Role Summary

As Lead Mechanical Designer/Engineer - HVAC, you will serve as the primary technical authority on your project teams - owning HVAC and mechanical system design from concept through construction closeout, mentoring junior staff, and acting as the principal liaison for owners, architects, and trade partners across a diverse portfolio of industrial, healthcare, hospitality, commercial, higher education, laboratory, and multifamily projects. This role offers a clear path to senior leadership as AMC’s Engineering Department continues to grow.

What You’ll Work On

Industrial & process: biogas SS process piping, active-plant coordination, critical shutdowns (e.g., Avant Energy, Le Sueur MN).
Healthcare: full mechanical construction and BIM coordination for medical facility modernization (e.g., Indian Health Board Medical Center, Minneapolis).
Hospitality & commercial: complete HVAC and plumbing scopes for high-end restaurant, hotel, and retail environments (e.g., Hop House at Mystic Lake).
Higher education: mechanical retrofits and new construction on university campuses (e.g., University of St. Thomas - Owens Science Hall).
Laboratory & scientific: fume hood systems, exhaust/makeup air, and precise environmental controls (e.g., Hormel Institute - Microscope laboratory conversion).
Large-scale multifamily: high-rise design-build including complex rooftop equipment logistics (e.g., Portland & Washington - 22-story, 240-unit tower).

Key Responsibilities

Lead HVAC and mechanical piping system design: system selection, equipment sizing, load calculations, ductwork/piping layouts, and construction document production (Revit, AutoCAD).
Provide construction phase services: shop drawing and submittal review, RFI responses, change order evaluation, and design intent through closeout.
Serve as primary engineering contact for owners, architects, and trade contractors; present technical solutions clearly to non-engineering stakeholders.
Supervise and mentor engineering design staff; provide quality review on all deliverables.
Collaborate with Project Managers on schedule, budget, scope development, equipment selection, and pre-construction pricing.
Partner with VDC, estimators, field superintendents, and purchasing as the engineering subject matter expert throughout the project lifecycle.
Maintain current knowledge of MN Mechanical, Energy, Plumbing, and Fire/NFPA codes; ASHRAE 90.1, 62.1; and SMACNA standards.

Required Qualifications

Associate’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Technology - or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience.
7+ years of progressive HVAC and mechanical systems design experience, including 2+ years in a lead or project-ownership role.
Strong working knowledge of HVAC system types and system selection: packaged equipment, hydronic/pumping, VAV, VRF/refrigeration, make-up air, and controls/BAS.
Proficiency with load calculation software (Trane Trace 700, HAP, IES VE, or equivalent); Revit; AutoCAD; Bluebeam Revu; Autodesk Forma; and Microsoft 365.
Demonstrated experience leading construction phase services: submittals, RFIs, change orders, and field coordination.
Working knowledge of MN Mechanical, Energy, Plumbing, Fire/NFPA codes; ASHRAE 90.1 and 62.1; SMACNA standards.
Strong client relationship, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

PE license (Mechanical) or active EIT pursuing licensure - AMC will consider sponsoring exam prep and licensure costs.
Demonstrated familiarity with sustainable design practices and energy code compliance documentation.
Knowledge of psychrometrics, refrigeration cycles, acoustics, controls schematics, and energy modeling tools.
Experience in design-build delivery with union mechanical contractors; background in plumbing systems design.
Knowledge of cost estimating, life cycle cost analysis, ROM pricing, and simple payback calculations for energy efficiency upgrades.
Established relationships with regional equipment representatives (MMS, SVL, TMS Johnson, or similar).
Familiarity with fabrication drawing production and VDC-integrated workflows.

Note on Licensure: A PE license is not required. AMC welcomes candidates at all licensure stages - PE, active EIT, or equivalent experience. Licensure support available. PE-licensed candidates are considered at the top of the compensation band.

Benefits & Perks

Competitive salary: $110,000 – $160,000/year (DOE); top of band for PE-licensed candidates.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) with company match; PTO and paid holidays.
Flexible working hours.
Professional development: PE exam prep, continuing education, and licensure reimbursement.
Hands-on learning through direct partnership with field installers - real-time feedback from sheet metal, plumbing, and piping crews sharpens design decisions and accelerates growth.
Collaborative culture with direct access to leadership and a clear path to senior engineering roles.
