Mechanical Engineer

About The Role

As a Mechanical Engineer at TAI, you will serve as a technical linchpin in the Mechanical Engineering division, transforming complex client needs into high-performance HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection designs. You will transition from high-level engineering analysis and code research to the hands-on creation of detailed construction documents and Revit models across diverse sectors like life sciences and mission-critical infrastructure. This role offers the autonomy to own individual tasks while collaborating across disciplines to drive projects from preliminary scope through to construction administration.
