In the preliminary design phase, the Geothermal HVAC Engineer will support thermal audits of the building to determine a thermal load profile and develop an understanding of the current operational characteristics of the HVAC solution in place. The Geothermal HVAC Engineer will collaborate with internal teams, external subcontractors, and the client to make these determinations. The Geothermal HVAC Engineer will also collaborate with internal subsurface thermal resource experts on the thermal properties of the ground. With these inputs, multiple high level geothermal HVAC solutions will be evaluated and weighed against client objectives with the selection of a single solution to move into the detailed design phase. Key deliverables of the preliminary design phase are: Building thermal load profile (hourly annual) as obtained through energy meters, utility invoices, and/or a dynamic thermal simulation including the building envelope and its use Diagram/synoptic of the current HVAC solution and proposed geothermal HVAC solution(s) 2D plans of the mechanical room with HVAC network paths and location and sizing of equipment Cost/benefit analysis of the proposed geothermal HVAC solution(s) with recommendations Bachelor's Degree in an ABET accredited Engineering curriculum. 1 to 3 years of system design experience in the HVAC industry. Prefer candidates with specific practical experience in ground-source heat pump systems (geothermal). History of project support and delivery from design to installation to commissioning with worksite presence/exposure. History of successful stakeholder management (clients, internal teams, contractors, suppliers). Skilled in HVAC solution design software such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Trane Trace, and Carrier HAP. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). Prefer candidates who also have exposure to Project Professional and Microsoft Teams.
