  • Develop and review fire protection system layouts in Revit in coordination with architectural and structural backgrounds.
  • Coordinate fire protection design with internal disciplines and external consultants to resolve design conflicts and progress design.
  • Review and respond to fire protection RFIs and submittals with support from lead engineers
  • Perform field verification for fire protection conditions, assist with punch walks, and participate in fire protection construction observation visits.
  • Participate in early-phase design strategy discussions and support discipline leads with technical insight.
  • Engage in internal QAQC processes and perform peer reviews of fire protection drawings and documentation for code compliance and drafting consistency.
  • Begin mentoring designers and interns in software use, modeling best practices, documentation standards, and calculation basics.
  • Participate in internal and external project meetings, and support the preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, and follow-up documentation with a focus on fire protection scope.
  • Track and manage hours on assigned work and assist in project planning discussions regarding scope and resource allocation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent, required.
  • P.E. licensure required.
  • 5+ years in the AEC Industry preferred.
  • An understanding of the financial status of projects as they progress, development of cost budgets for projects, value of client relationships and be able to deliver projects with a focus on the quality is preferred.
  • Written and verbal communication skills commensurate with the position required.
  • Strong organizational skills required.
  • Revit experience required.
  • Experience with computers, specifically for word processing, spreadsheet use/creation and email required.
  • Detail-oriented, self-motivated, enthusiastic, flexible and curious personalities required.
  • Ability to work well with others under deadline situations required.

Physical Requirements

  • Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
  • Must be able to effectively communicate in writing and verbally via phone, video conferencing, and in-person.
