• Evaluate the performance and operation of mechanical systems to ensure they meet design intent, project specifications, and applicable standards.

• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, technologists, contractors, and other stakeholders to support successful project completion and system handover.

• Perform occasional on-site and fieldwork, including frequent travel throughout Alberta to deliver commissioning services.

Requirements:

• A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant technologist or technician diploma or degree in a related discipline.

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in MEP construction, commissioning, and/or project management.

• Familiarity with commissioning processes and a willingness to develop further expertise through the training provided.

• Understanding of thermal environments in mission-critical facilities, including hospitals, data centers, and Class 2/3 biological containment laboratories.

• Knowledge of psychrometrics, heat transfer principles, and applicable building, mechanical, plumbing, fuel gas, fire protection, and energy codes.

• Experience with mechanical and HVAC equipment, including CRACs, CRAHs, AHUs, RTUs, VRF systems, evaporators, heat pumps, boilers, chillers, adiabatic coolers, pumps, sensors, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and flowmeters.

• Understanding of Building Automation Systems (BAS), Methods of Procedure (MOPs), Sequences of Operation (SOOs), trend analysis, and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB).

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word, Excel, and Project.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to lead meetings, collaborate effectively, and respond professionally to sensitive situations.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, combined with excellent attention to detail and organizational abilities.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively, manage competing priorities, and meet tight project deadlines.

• Willingness and ability to work occasionally on-site and in the field, including undertaking frequent travel throughout Alberta.

• A valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
