Senior Mechanical / Energy Modelling Engineer

What’s the mahi? 

We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical / Energy Modelling Engineer who enjoys getting into the technical detail while keeping the bigger picture in mind. You’ll work closely with clients and project teams to shape high-quality, low-carbon outcomes across Aotearoa’s built environment.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, flexible team, working on projects that are technically challenging, genuinely interesting, and often a little bit unconventional.

Project examples you will work on include commercial offices, healthcare & laboratory facilities, education and civic buildings, large building upgrades, retrofits and decarbonisation.

What you’ll do:

• Bringing your strong client relationships and commercial acumen.
• Work with the guidance of senior engineers while taking ownership of projects and/or defined design packages.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers & building scientists.
• Design and document HVAC systems, prepare and review drawings, specifications and schedules using BIM and design software (e.g. Revit, IES).
• Incorporate energy efficiency, decarbonisation and low-carbon design principles into mechanical solutions.
• Undertake predictive modelling to determine the heating and cooling capacity/loads.
• Undertake dynamic simulation modelling tools to measure and benchmark human comfort in buildings including glare, daylight, overheating, natural ventilation, and Predicted Mean Vote (PMV). 
• Undertake exploration and evaluation of thermal envelope opportunities and strategies to optimise performance.
• Compliance modelling for building code and green rating systems, including G7, H1, Green Star and NABERSNZ (predictive).
• Undertake modelling of potential energy used by a building during its day-to-day operation, including heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances, also benchmarking the carbon emissions associated with the energy use. 
• Prepare, deliver, and review design reports and key technical outputs.

What you’ll bring:

• 4-7 years’ experience working on building mechanical projects with a strong understanding of standards, systems and documentation compliance
• Experience undertaking and supervising built environment computational analysis.
• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (or equivalent/similar).
• Proficiency in Revit & Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environments (IES(VE))
• Strong technical capability, commercial awareness, and team engagement skills.
