About this role
CannonDesign's St. Louis office is seeking a Mechanical III engineer to lead HVAC design work across educational, healthcare, corporate, and science and technology projects. You'll own the design of ductwork, piping, and equipment selection from schematic through construction administration, using Revit and energy modeling software to produce detailed drawings and specifications. The role includes directing complex projects independently or under PE supervision, managing budgets and schedules, conducting site visits, and coordinating with clients and construction teams through meetings and RFIs.
This contract position requires a bachelor's degree in engineering (ABET accreditation preferred) and a minimum of six years of related mechanical design experience. You should be proficient in Revit, Trane Trace, or similar design software, with strong communication skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously. A current PE license and LEED accreditation are preferred but not required. The role demands both technical depth—specifying equipment like boilers and chillers, reviewing shop drawings—and collaborative skills, as you'll frequently interface with architects, owners, and contractors while managing project scope and cost.
