Clean Energy Application Engineer Job SummaryWe are seeking a Clean Energy Application Engineer to support the design, coordination, and implementation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. This role focuses on high-efficiency and non-carbon-based heating and cooling technologies, including water-source heat pump applications. You will blend hands-on engineering expertise with customer-facing and project support responsibilities, partnering across sales, engineering, project management, contractors, and other stakeholders. From pre-sale engineering and design development through construction, commissioning, and closeout, you will help ensure solutions align with applicable codes, project specifications, schedules, and cost objectives.
Responsibilities- Prepare engineering layouts, calculations, specifications, and technical documentation for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and heat pump systems.
- Perform equipment selection and sizing based on project requirements.
- Conduct load calculations, energy analysis, and other engineering calculations.
- Develop schematic designs and support design development and construction documentation.
- Evaluate equipment and system configurations to identify appropriate technical solutions.
- Apply sustainable design principles and energy-efficiency best practices.
- Ensure designs meet applicable building codes, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate with the sales team during pre-sale and project development phases to evaluate requirements and develop technical solutions.
- Provide engineering input on equipment selection, system configuration, performance, and application requirements.
- Assist in developing technical concepts and documentation to support customer proposals.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Support the transition of projects from sales/design development into project execution.
- Coordinate with architects, structural engineers, contractors, project managers, and other engineering disciplines to resolve design conflicts.
- Support project managers with design packages and technical deliverables for customer review and approval.
- Participate in project meetings and provide technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle.
- Review equipment submittals, shop drawings, RFIs, and other construction documentation.
- Provide engineering support during construction and installation, including site visits and inspections as required.
- Review field conditions and installation quality for consistency with design intent; help resolve technical issues.
- Support system commissioning and functional performance testing; document field observations and design revisions.
- Prepare engineering reports, technical specifications, basis-of-design documents, calculations, and other deliverables.
- Maintain accurate, organized technical documentation and records of calculations, decisions, revisions, and field observations.
- Participate in value-engineering activities and support lifecycle cost and energy analysis when required.
- Apply relevant codes and standards (ASHRAE, NFPA, NEC, IPC, and applicable building codes).
- Incorporate energy-efficiency and sustainable-design principles and stay current on evolving codes, standards, and clean-energy HVAC technologies.
RequirementsRequired Skills & Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- Approximately 3-5 years of experience in MEP design, engineering, or a related technical environment.
- Experience with mechanical and building systems design, including understanding of HVAC, heat pump, electrical, and/or plumbing systems.
- Experience performing equipment selection, sizing, load calculations, and/or related engineering analysis.
- Strong understanding of construction processes and building systems integration.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, submittals, and construction documentation.
- Knowledge of applicable building codes and engineering standards.
- Strong technical problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to varied audiences.
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD MEP, Revit, and/or comparable BIM and engineering design software.
- Understanding of construction documents, specifications, shop drawings, and RFIs.
- Experience developing engineering calculations and technical documentation.
Nice to Have Skills- Familiarity with energy modeling and engineering calculation software (preferred).
- Experience with water-source heat pumps, heat pump systems, electrification, high-efficiency HVAC, or other clean-energy technologies.
- Experience supporting commercial, industrial, or institutional projects.
- Experience providing technical or application engineering support to a sales organization.
- Experience supporting projects from design through construction and commissioning.
Preferred Education & Experience- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (as listed above).
- 3-5 years of relevant MEP design/engineering experience.
Other Requirements- EIT certification preferred.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus but not required.
- Interest in pursuing additional professional credentials or certifications related to engineering, energy efficiency, or sustainable design.
If you're ready to apply your MEP expertise to high-efficiency, clean-energy building solutions, submit your application today for consideration.
