About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lead mechanical engineering and design for new construction, expansion, modernization, and rehabilitation of recreation facilities.
- Provide specialist input for arenas and ice plants, aquatic facilities, gymnasiums, fieldhouses, community centres, and multi-use recreation complexes.
- Develop and review HVAC, plumbing, hydronic, heat-recovery, controls, and building automation system designs.
- Provide senior technical oversight for ammonia or carbon-dioxide arena refrigeration systems and associated heat recovery.
- Provide senior technical oversight for natatorium air systems, humidity control, corrosion-resistant design, pool water treatment and mechanical interfaces, and energy optimization.
- Prepare and review design criteria, calculations, drawings, specifications, technical memoranda, reports, cost opinions, and construction documentation.
- Lead mechanical system assessments, existing-building investigations, feasibility studies, facility condition reviews, decarbonization studies, and renewal planning.
- Develop high-performance mechanical design strategies incorporating electrification and low-carbon heating; coordinate energy modelling and greenhouse-gas reduction planning.
- Complete technical reviews and quality-control checks for coordination, constructability, maintainability, codes, and standards.
- Coordinate mechanical requirements with multidisciplinary consultants and stakeholders.
- Engage facility operators, user groups, municipal representatives, contractors, and other stakeholders to understand operational requirements and resolve technical issues.
- Support construction through shop-drawing reviews, RFIs, site reviews, deficiency identification, commissioning support, and closeout.
- Support project delivery under design-build, construction management, and public-private partnership models.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers, designers, technologists, and project teams.
- Support proposals, interviews, client relationship development, project capture planning, and practice growth.
- Contribute lessons learned, technical standards, design tools, and knowledge-sharing across mechanical and Buildings teams.
- Maintain a minimum utilization of 70%.
- Travel to project sites, including northern and remote communities, when required.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Demonstrated experience delivering mechanical systems for arenas, aquatic centres, fieldhouses, community centres, or comparable complex public facilities.
- Strong knowledge of building mechanical systems, energy efficiency, system controls, commissioning, constructability, and facility operations.
- Experience applying relevant building, fire, plumbing, energy, refrigeration, and occupational health and safety requirements.
- Ability to lead technical work, manage competing priorities, coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
- Experience with consulting engineering project delivery, fee management, schedules, risk management, proposals, and client service.
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a mechanical engineering technologist diploma from an accredited institution is preferred.
- Registered, or eligible for registration, as a Professional Engineer in the applicable Canadian jurisdiction.
- 12 or more years of progressive mechanical building-design experience, including substantial work on recreation facilities.
- Typical office environment working with computers and remaining sedentary for long periods of time; field work may include exposure to inclement weather.
