HFA, has an opportunity for an Refrigeration Engineer or Designer to support the development of a growing refrigeration program within the firm. Ideal candidates will have an established technical knowledge in commercial DX refrigeration design (as well as designing low-temp and medium-temp secondary systems), be highly proficient in REVIT, and confident and comfortable meeting face-to-face with clients. HFA can hire an individual to work remotely in the continental US for this position. Knowledge of transcritical CO2 systems is a plus.
Responsibilities
Develop construction documentation and technical design, providing design input/feedback to lesser experienced refrigeration designers, and coordination with other professional disciplines in-house and out-of-house.
Meet with clients, face-to-face and virtually, to formulate solutions and build relationships.
Site visits as needed to obtain design information and/or perform construction administration. Some travel is required.
Coordinate with other design disciplines, vendors (equipment suppliers), and clients to execute work plans and gain industry knowledge.
Analyze and select equipment as required.
Troubleshoot and develop design solutions.
Job Responsibilities
Work with Engineer and/or Design Lead to communicate with client, deliver completed construction documents, and assist in construction administration as required for most project types.
Independently develop, implement, and draft construction documents for most project types (or major portions), and solve medium to difficult design challenges on projects.
Have good working knowledge of DX refrigeration systems utilizing traditional refrigerants and basic knowledge of transcritical CO2 systems. Knowledge of 2-stage systems, cascade systems, and ammonia systems is helpful.
Have basic knowledge of standard control systems used in commercial refrigeration.
Apply knowledge gained through experience and knowledge of recognized national standards to simple projects with minimal oversight.
Have a good knowledge of software assisting programs and apply throughout the design process. Understand energy codes and how they impact design.
Design and draft refrigeration systems, including creating isometric plans for small to medium projects.
Job Duties
Proficient in AutoCAD and/or REVIT. Ability to train new employees on company standards, drafting techniques, and answer technical design questions on simple refrigeration projects. Basic understanding of national standards (IMC, IPC, ASHRAE). Familiar with Heatcraft Box Load Calculator and Sporlan Virtual Engineer.
Collaborate with Architects and other Engineers to develop construction documents based on client requirements, including performing some project management, quality control, or other duties as necessary.
Provide a high level of quality control on all projects for final review by the Engineer or Design Lead.
May have direct client contact and travel to project sites as necessary. Work within established budgets and, depending on supervisor and client needs, be responsible for financial success of projects.
Select and design refrigeration systems and equipment, controls, and provide box and case circuit load calculations with minimal supervision on simple systems.
Edit specifications for small to medium size projects.
