HVAC Mechanical Engineer (Cincinnati/Columbus, Ohio or Greensboro, North Carolina)
At SHP, we design more than just buildings – we create experiences that inspire people to learn, work, and connect. With a legacy that spans over 120 years, SHP is a nationally recognized architecture and design firm committed to shaping environments that positively impact communities and improve lives.
Our work is driven by purpose, fueled by curiosity, and built on collaboration. From visionary schools and innovative workplaces to civic and cultural spaces, we approach every project with creativity, technical excellence, and a deep commitment to sustainability and inclusion.
We’re proud to offer a workplace culture that values people as much as process. At SHP, you’ll find a team that supports your growth, challenges your thinking, and celebrates your contributions. Whether you’re designing, engineering, managing, or supporting our projects, your work will matter – and so will you.
The Opportunity As a Mechanical Engineer at SHP, you will lead the majority of the mechanical design effort on assigned projects – from early concepts through construction documentation and administration. You’ll develop mechanical system designs, supervise junior engineering/design staff, and ensure project quality and technical accuracy.
This role is ideal for engineers who have several years of A/E consulting experience and are ready to take ownership of design leadership and coordination in a highly collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities
Lead HVAC and mechanical system design across most project phases
Perform LEED energy modeling and life‑cycle cost analysis
Serve as a key technical resource for architects, interior designers, and consultants
Supervise junior engineering and design staff; review work for accuracy and completeness
Prepare reports, drawings, load calculations, and specifications
Ensure code compliance and provide construction‑administration support
Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to proposal development
Key Requirements Education & Credentials
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering
4–7 years of experience in the A/E/C industry
EIT preferred; PE licensure in progress or achieved
LEED accreditation preferred
Skills & Experience
Strong proficiency in Revit and HVAC design fundamentals
In‑depth technical knowledge and strong problem‑solving skills
Ability to lead day‑to‑day engineering workflows and staff supervision
Strong communication skills for internal collaboration and consultant coordination
Ability to manage multiple deadlines with accuracy and organization
This role is based in one of our physical office locations – Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH; or Greensboro, NC – and is ideal for candidates who thrive in a highly collaborative, in‑person environment. Being onsite allows for deeper day‑to‑day engagement with peers and project teams, faster decision making, and organic moments of creativity and mentorship that emerge through shared space.
Travel is a key part of how we build relationships, gather insight from the people we design for, and bring our ideas to life alongside clients and partners. Candidates should be willing and able to travel as needed, often with short notice, to support firm‑wide priorities, strengthen client connections, and grow their impact across markets.
SHP is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
