Sr. HVAC Designer-Columbia, SC

We are looking for an experienced HVAC Designer. This role plays a key part in design production, project execution, and client coordination across a variety of commercial and industrial projects.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, field staff, utilities, and code officials
• Support high‐quality design standards in a firm known for strong client service
• Opportunity to take on project management responsibilities on small–medium projects
• A role designed for long‐term growth, mentorship, and technical development

What You'll Do

• Perform HVAC load calculations (TRACE), duct sizing, chilled/hot water piping design, pump sizing, and steam system layout
• Convert design data into construction-ready documents, specifications, and drawings
• Apply relevant building and mechanical codes (IBC, NFPA, etc.)
• Support field surveys, client meetings, and coordination with utilities and design teams
• Assist with RFIs, shop drawing reviews, design changes, and site visits
• Lead or support quality control checks and uphold office drawing standards

What We're Looking For

5+ years of HVAC/MEP design experience

Strong attention to detail and problem‐solving abilities

Proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office

Familiarity with mechanical codes and application of IBC/NFPA standards

Ability to manage multiple projects in a deadline‐driven environment

If this aligns with what you might be open to exploring — or if someone in your network comes to mind — I'd love to connect and share more details. Looking forward to hearing from you.
