• Experience supporting very high request volumes and/or extremely large datasets in production environments.
• Expertise building semantic retrieval layers, attribute-aware discovery, and stateful persistence for long-lived agent context.
• Strong understanding of MCP-style tool protocols, agent-to-agent interaction patterns, REST/gRPC APIs, OAuth2, and function-calling mechanics.
• Familiarity with microservices architecture patterns and distributed systems best practices.
• Ability to implement observability for agentic systems, including traceability/telemetry and debugging methods for multi-step reasoning and handoffs.

Mechanical Engineer – Building Systems & HVAC Performance {Bellevue / Redmond, WA}

Commercial Buildings | HVAC Systems | BAS / BMS | Chiller Plants | Central Plant | Building Performance

Role at a glance

Role: Mechanical Engineer

Location: Bellevue / Redmond, WA (Hybrid)

Hybrid: Typically ~3 days on site

Experience: 5-15 years of mechanical engineering experience

Focus: Commercial HVAC systems, central plant infrastructure, and building performance

Salary: $110k – $140k base + bonus

Element Six is retained by a specialist engineering advisory firm supporting large-scale technology campuses and complex commercial building portfolios across North America. The company works directly with owners and operators to improve how HVAC and mechanical systems perform in operation. For mechanical engineers interested in applying their expertise beyond drawings and construction projects, this role offers the chance to work on real building performance, operational optimisation, and large-scale commercial environments.

Why this role is worth a look

Many mechanical engineers spend most of their careers designing systems they rarely see operate.

This role focuses on how HVAC and mechanical systems perform once buildings are operational.

Engineers work across active commercial buildings, analysing system performance, identifying inefficiencies, and helping clients plan improvements to HVAC infrastructure and building automation environments.

Rather than working on a single large design project, engineers typically manage multiple initiatives across building portfolios and work closely with facilities teams and operators.

What you will own

• Analyse HVAC and mechanical system performance across commercial buildings
• Identify system inefficiencies and opportunities for optimisation
• Review mechanical system designs and upgrade strategies
• Work with facilities teams, engineers, and contractors
• Deliver technical recommendations to improve building performance
• Manage multiple engineering initiatives across building portfolios

What success looks like

First 90 Days: Build familiarity with the building environments, systems, and engineering initiatives across the client portfolio.

By 6 Months: Independently manage multiple engineering initiatives and deliver actionable recommendations to improve HVAC performance, efficiency, and operational reliability.

Year One: Operate as a trusted engineering resource, helping clients improve building performance across their portfolios.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with:

• 5–15 years of mechanical engineering experience
• Experience working with commercial HVAC systems such as chiller plants, AHUs, chilled water systems, VAV systems, fan coils, or central plant infrastructure
• Experience applying mechanical engineering in commercial office buildings, campuses, large facilities, or similarly complex environments
• Experience in building automation systems and building controls environments
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with facilities teams and client stakeholders
• A background in consulting engineering, building services engineering, commissioning, facilities engineering, or HVAC system optimisation
• A Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus, but not required

If this sounds like work you have already done, reach out, and we can share more details about the client and projects involved.

The main function of a non-IT program manager is to plan, direct, or coordinate activities in such fields as engineering, research and development, financial systems and product roll-out, etc or any other non-IT based project.

A typical day in this role begins with reviewing recent Alarm Flood IcMs and recurring alarm trends across supported sites to understand where alarm performance is creating operational risk or inefficiency. The program manager assesses severity, frequency, and impact to prioritize improvement opportunities and determine where engagement with site teams is most needed.

Daily work centers on close collaboration with site Operations, Engineering, and Instrumentation/Controls teams. Rather than implementing changes directly, the role facilitates discussions around alarms currently impacting operators, helps teams evaluate improvement options, and drives alignment on changes to alarm design—such as setpoints, delays, deadbands, suppression logic, or state‑based alarming—to reduce alarm volume and improve alarm quality.

The role actively participates in local and regional alarm management forums, representing the Global Alarm Management Program. In these settings, the program manager ensures proposed changes align with program standards and best practices, clearly articulates expectations, and tracks actions to ensure improvements deliver measurable reductions in nuisance alarms while maintaining safe and reliable operations.

In parallel, the program manager partners with the broader Global Alarm Management team to identify site‑level improvements that may be candidates for broader adoption. This includes evaluating scalability, risk, and applicability across similar systems and regions, and helping translate local successes into repeatable, global solutions.

Throughout the day, the role balances data‑driven prioritization, stakeholder coordination, and program oversight—ensuring alarm management initiatives remain focused on outcomes: alarms that support operators by clearly identifying abnormal conditions requiring action, without contributing to alarm fatigue or operational overload.

The ideal resume would contain demonstrated experience across the entire alarm management lifecycle, including concrete examples of analyzing data, implementing alarm changes, and driving global feedback and improvements, rather than experience limited to a single phase or function.

Job Responsibilities:

• Coordinate projects, make detailed plans to accomplish goals and direct the integration of technical activities.

• Present and explain proposals, reports and findings to clients.

• Recruit employees, assign, direct, and evaluate their work, and oversee the development and maintenance of staff competence.

• Analyze technology, resource needs and market demand, to plan and assess the feasibility of projects.

Skills:

• Verbal and written communication skills, problem solving skills, attention to detail and interpersonal skills.

• Basic ability to work independently and manage one’s time.

• Basic knowledge of production processes, quality control, costs and other techniques for maximizing the effective manufacture and distribution of goods.

• Basic knowledge of business and management principles involved in strategic planning, resource allocation, and production methods.
