We’re looking for a skilled Mechanical Engineer who is passionate about designing high performance building systems and leading projects from concept design through to construction. At DIALOG, you’ll work within an integrated design studio where architects, interior designers, and engineers collaborate under one roof on commercial and institutional projects spanning higher education, healthcare, workplace, public safety, transit and aviation. If you thrive in a team-oriented environment and enjoy creating innovative, sustainable solutions, this role will give you the opportunity to make a real impact on the built environment.
This is a growth position. You’ll take on increasing technical responsibility, mentor junior team members, and develop the project leadership skills that define a senior career in building mechanical design.
How you'll make a difference:
· Design plumbing, drainage, fire protection, heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC)systems for commercial and institutional buildings across a variety of project types
· Lead and coordinate mechanical design from concept phase through construction documents, taking ownership of your discipline on project teams
· Collaborate with architects, interior designers, structural engineers, and electrical engineers to deliver integrated, sustainable building solutions
· Develop and maintain high quality Revit models and engineering drawings for HVAC, plumbing and drainage, and fire protection systems
· Perform load calculations, equipment selections, and system sizing using first principles engineering and industry standard software
· Integrate energy modelling, value engineering, and lifecycle costing to optimize mechanical system performance and project budgets
· Manage day to day project activities, including client meetings, presentations, and consultant coordination
· Support construction administration activities including site reviews, shop drawing review, and responding to RFIs and contractor queries
· Mentor EITs and junior designers, contributing to team development and a culture of technical excellence
· Contribute innovative mechanical solutions for green and high-performance building projects
Who you are:
· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Technology Diploma in a related discipline
· P.Eng. or P.L.(Eng.) licensure (or eligibility) required
· 5-10 years of experience designing HVAC, plumbing, drainage, and fire protection systems for commercial and institutional buildings, or equivalent combination of education and demonstrated project experience
· Proficient with BIM software (Revit preferred) and load calculation tools (Carrier HAP, Trane TRACE, or similar)
· Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards including ASHRAE 62.1, ASHRAE 90.1, National Building Code of Canada, Ontario Building Code, NFPA 13/14, and CSA B149
· Experience with schematic design, design development, detailed engineering calculations, equipment selection, and specification writing
· Familiarity with construction administration processes including site reviews, shop drawing review, and RFI responses
· Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present technical information clearly to clients and project teams
· Energetic, proactive, and collaborative with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing deadlines
