Mechanical / Energy Modelling Engineer

The Role

Project examples you will work on include commercial offices, healthcare & laboratory facilities, education and civic buildings, large building upgrades, retrofits and decarbonisation.

• Bringing your strong client relationships and commercial acumen.
• Work with the guidance of senior engineers while taking ownership of projects and/or defined design packages.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers & building scientists.
• Design and document HVAC systems, prepare and review drawings, specifications and schedules using BIM and design software (e.g. Revit, IES).
• Incorporate energy efficiency, decarbonisation and low-carbon design principles into mechanical solutions.
• Undertake predictive modelling to determine the heating and cooling capacity/loads.
• Undertake dynamic simulation modelling tools to measure and benchmark human comfort in buildings including glare, daylight, overheating, natural ventilation, and Predicted Mean Vote (PMV).
• Undertake exploration and evaluation of thermal envelope opportunities and strategies to optimise performance.
• Compliance modelling for building code and green rating systems, including G7, H1, Green Star and NABERSNZ (predictive).
• Undertake modelling of potential energy used by a building during its day-to-day operation, including heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances, also benchmarking the carbon emissions associated with the energy use.
• Prepare, deliver, and review design reports and key technical outputs.
