What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead commissioning and recommissioning projects for new and existing buildings.
  • Represent owners throughout the project lifecycle - from design through construction, occupancy, and ongoing optimization.
  • Perform commissioning reviews, functional performance testing, field verification, and quality assurance.
  • Analyze HVAC systems, Building Automation Systems (BAS), energy performance, and operational efficiencies.
  • Identify opportunities to improve building performance, occupant comfort, and energy consumption.
  • Develop commissioning plans, testing procedures, engineering reports, and technical recommendations.
  • Conduct site investigations and collaborate with owners, consultants, contractors, architects, and facility managers.
  • Support building decarbonization, electrification, greenhouse gas reduction, and sustainability initiatives.
  • Review mechanical designs, control sequences, equipment selections, and retrofit strategies.
  • Manage multiple projects while maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the continued growth of the team.

What we're looking for:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Ontario (or eligible).

  • Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects.
  • Valid Ontario Driver's Licence.

Why Join?

This organization has built an excellent reputation within Ontario's building consulting industry through its specialized expertise in commissioning, building performance optimization, and sustainable engineering. You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work on technically challenging healthcare, institutional, commercial, educational, and government projects.
  • Play a key role in energy optimization, decarbonization, and Net Zero initiatives.
  • Join a collaborative team where your technical expertise and project ownership are valued.
  • Enjoy significant autonomy while being supported by experienced engineering professionals.
  • Work directly with clients and contribute to meaningful improvements in building performance.
  • Be part of a growing organization with exciting expansion plans across Canada.
