Collaborative Design. Technical Excellence. Community Impact.
Are you a mechanical professional who loves the 'puzzle' of a complex building system? Thompson & Litton is seeking a self-motivated Mechanical Engineer or Designer to join our multi-disciplined team. Whether you are calculating high-efficiency HVAC loads or designing life-safety fire protection systems, you'll be part of a collaborative group that values your creative input and your professional growth.
The Role: From Concept to Completion
As part of our mechanical engineering group, you will be involved in the full scope of design for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. You will:
- Design & Draft: Lead the production of comprehensive mechanical design packages, including HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection plans.
- Analyze & Optimize: Perform critical calculations for HVAC loads, energy usage, and life-cycle costs to provide sustainable solutions.
- Collaborate in the Field: Conduct site visits for renovations and additions, gathering the 'ground-truth' data needed for successful designs.
- Lead Project Delivery: Generate project specifications, written reports, and system condition assessments.
- Support Construction: Act as a bridge during the construction phase, managing RFIs, submittal reviews, and field assessments.
What You Bring
- Experience: 3–5+ years in mechanical system design (HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection) within commercial or institutional sectors.
- Education: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program is preferred.
- Technical Knowledge: A strong working knowledge of mechanical codes and standards (including ICC, ASHRAE, and NFPA).
- Project Skills: A proven ability to deliver projects on time and on budget while communicating effectively with diverse project teams.
The T&L Advantage
- Flexible Work Environment: We work where the work needs us—in the office, from home, in the field, and in the community. We offer great flexible hours to support your life outside of work.
- Mentorship Culture: We are looking for people who are passionate about encouraging others. At T&L, your mentorship of junior staff is as valued as your technical design skills.
- Broad Project Scope: From K-12 schools to industrial facilities, you will work on a wide variety of building types and delivery methods.
- Focus on Potential: We value the depth of your experience and your professional goals just as much as the number of years on your resume.
