Sr. HVAC Designer-Columbia, SC


We are looking for an experienced HVAC Designer. This role plays a key part in design production, project execution, and client coordination across a variety of commercial and industrial projects.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work on full project cycles — from field surveys, feasibility studies, and load calculations to design and construction administration
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, field staff, utilities, and code officials
  • Support high‑quality design standards in a firm known for strong client service
  • Opportunity to take on project management responsibilities on small–medium projects
  • A role designed for long‑term growth, mentorship, and technical development


What You’ll Do

  • Perform HVAC load calculations (TRACE), duct sizing, chilled/hot water piping design, pump sizing, and steam system layout
  • Convert design data into construction-ready documents, specifications, and drawings
  • Apply relevant building and mechanical codes (IBC, NFPA, etc.)
  • Support field surveys, client meetings, and coordination with utilities and design teams
  • Assist with RFIs, shop drawing reviews, design changes, and site visits
  • Lead or support quality control checks and uphold office drawing standards


What We’re Looking For

✔ 5+ years of HVAC/MEP design experience

✔ Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving abilities

✔ Proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office

✔ Familiarity with mechanical codes and application of IBC/NFPA standards

✔ Ability to manage multiple projects in a deadline‑driven environment


If this aligns with what you might be open to exploring — or if someone in your network comes to mind — I’d love to connect and share more details. Looking forward to hearing from you.
