The Engineer (Mechanical) role involves providing mechanical engineering support to DOJ/BOP facilities by performing technical analyses and document reviews for mechanical and HVAC systems, as well as drafting technical inputs for Government decision-making.

Responsibilities:

• Review mechanical/HVAC design documents, calculations, and submittals for completeness, constructability, and alignment with Government requirements; provide written comments and recommended resolutions
• Support facility condition assessments by evaluating mechanical systems documentation, identifying deficiencies, and drafting recommended corrective actions
• Perform technical research and analysis related to HVAC performance, ventilation, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality; document findings for Government consideration
• Develop and/or review equipment schedules, sequence of operations narratives, and engineering options analyses to support Government evaluation
• Draft technical inputs for Statements of Work, performance requirements, acceptance criteria, and evaluation factors for Government review and approval
• Coordinate with architectural and other engineering disciplines to identify interfaces (e.g., power, controls, space constraints) and integration issues
• Support commissioning and closeout documentation reviews (as applicable), including verification checklists and deficiency tracking
• Prepare technical briefings, decision-support matrices, and executive summaries for Government stakeholders

Requirements:

• Working knowledge of applicable mechanical codes and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, IMC) and engineering best practices
• Demonstrated ability to produce clear technical documentation, comment matrices, and decision-support analyses
• Proficiency with common tools (e.g., MS Office; familiarity with energy modeling or commissioning workflows is a plus)
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline (or equivalent relevant experience)
• Minimum 7 years of progressively responsible mechanical/HVAC engineering experience
• Ability to obtain and maintain DOJ/BOP suitability, background investigation, and facility access as required
• Primarily remote work. Occasional travel may be required to DOJ/BOP sites and/or meetings
• May require participation in virtual design reviews and time-sensitive technical comment cycles
• Experience with Federal facilities projects (planning, design, renovation, sustainment) strongly preferred
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in any U.S. jurisdiction
• Experience with secure / correctional / justice-sector facilities
• Experience supporting design reviews, commissioning, or facilities O&M transition activities
