Intermediate Mechanical Engineer (P.Eng.)
Calgary, AB · On-site · Full-time, permanent
You've got a few years of design behind you and your stamp in hand. Now you want to own projects, not just size equipment on someone else's. At Design Works, intermediate engineers run their own mechanical scope from concept through construction, with a Mechanical Lead in their corner and every other discipline in-house.
Licence
P.Eng. with APEGA — newly licensed engineers welcome
Experience
Around 4–6 years of mechanical building design, including your EIT years
Reports to
Mechanical Lead
Project types
Commercial, institutional, low- and high-rise, and multi-family residential buildings across Alberta and Canada
Why this role
We're growing our mechanical team in Calgary. You'll take ownership of the mechanical design — heating, cooling, ventilation and plumbing — on commercial, institutional and multi-family residential buildings, coordinate directly with our own electrical, structural, fire protection and energy modelling teams, and help develop the junior engineers and designers working alongside you.
What you'll do
Own the mechanical design on your projects — concept, calculations, drawings, specifications and construction support.
Run load calculations and size systems in HAP or similar, and turn your design into clear drawings in Revit with our design team.
Coordinate with architects and our in-house electrical, structural, fire protection and energy modelling teams so designs are resolved before they reach site.
Be the mechanical point of contact for your clients — in meetings, in presentations and on site.
Get out on site to review construction, answer RFIs, review shop drawings and submittals, and resolve field issues.
Mentor junior engineers and designers, and review their work.
Keep your scope on budget and on schedule, working with the project manager — and spot opportunities for repeat work with the clients you serve.
What success looks like after year one
You're running the mechanical scope on several projects at once, with your Mechanical Lead reviewing rather than directing.
Architects and clients call you directly with mechanical questions.
A junior engineer or designer on your projects is noticeably stronger because of your reviews.
What you bring
Must-haves
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
P.Eng. with APEGA, in good standing — newly licensed is welcome.
Around 4–6 years of mechanical building design experience, including your EIT years.
HVAC and plumbing design experience on commercial or multi-family buildings.
Working proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, and HAP or similar load software.
Clear written and spoken English — you'll write reports and present to clients.
Nice to have
Exposure to energy modelling or building performance work.
Registration in other provinces (EGBC, PEO, APEGS or others).

Meet the team at our Calgary office.
We get back to every applicant within one week.
