Job Responsibilities

The job responsibilities can be divided into three parts: inside sales support, project management/coordination and mechanical engineering design. Ideally, the candidate will spend most of their time working on mechanical engineering and energy management projects, either in design or coordination. The candidate will also be responsible for performing energy audits on multi-residential, commercial, MASH and industrial facilities. They will also support the sales team with technical support for development of quotations. Candidates without a strong HVAC experience are not recommended to apply. The candidate needs to be highly motivated, self-driven and able to work in a fast paced, client satisfaction driven environment. The candidate is expected to act as the engineering department lead, which could lead to a promotion to Engineering Manager, and supervise all engineering staff and workload over time.
