About this role
CannonDesign's St. Louis office is seeking a Mechanical II engineer to join a multidisciplinary design team working on projects across education, healthcare, corporate, and science and technology sectors. You'll design HVAC systems—handling ductwork, piping, and equipment selection—with increasing independence based on project complexity. The role involves load calculations, Revit/BIM modeling from schematic through construction administration, equipment specification, shop drawing review, and site visits to verify conditions and monitor progress. You may also contribute to plumbing and fire protection design as needed, attend client meetings, and mentor less experienced staff.
This position requires a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering (ABET accreditation preferred) plus a minimum of four years of related mechanical design experience. You'll need proficiency in Revit and Trane software, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects. EIT/FE certification and LEED accreditation are preferred. The role is contract-based and requires in-office presence in St. Louis, including frequent site visits that involve physical walkthroughs.
This is a solid fit if you're a mid-career mechanical engineer ready to take on more independent design responsibility while still collaborating closely with licensed professionals on complex projects. CannonDesign emphasizes client service, transparent communication, and inclusive workplace practices, and you can review their full benefits package on their careers page.
