We're currently expanding our remote team at Enginectra and are in search of a skilled individual to fulfill a vital role that merges HVAC and Plumbing Design with Quality Assurance. Our objective is to integrate a team member who not only aligns with the collaborative and ethical standards akin to those at Koch Industries but also excels in both the plumbing and HVAC areas, with a strong capability for providing practical technical solutions.

Who We're Looking For

• Talent: We're in search of someone who excels in both plumbing and HVAC design, showcasing an ability to deliver innovative technical solutions and maintain the highest quality standards. You are obsessed with equipment thermodynamics, how to size equipment and always finding the most simple elegant solutions for constructability. Also, you take the price in having clean elegant drawings for contractors to use.

Our Team's Composition (You will wear two hats, some team members might wear up to 3 hats)

Lead Engineer: Manages client relationships and develops sales proposals.

Mechanical Designer: Executes initial design drafting.

Project Coordinator: Ensures smooth communication and coordination for project deliverables.

Mechanical QA Designer: Performs final quality checks and suggests improvements, with a focus on detail and high-quality outputs.

Mechanical Engineer: Takes responsibility for and seals the final designs in Canada.

What You Can Expect:

Joining Enginectra means being part of a dynamic, growing company that embraces a forward-thinking approach to engineering challenges. You'll work on diverse and stimulating projects within a collaborative and supportive environment. We offer competitive compensation, with salaries ranging from $50,000 to $80,000 CAD, opportunities for relocation to Canada (yes, we sponsor your relocation), regular performance reviews(with 2-5% salary increase), and a profit-sharing model (10% on the project's profit *terms apply) that rewards your direct contributions to our projects.

The Process:

• Phase 1. Screening questions
• Phase 2. Sample QA Projects (non paid)
• Phase 3. Design Sample Project:Successful candidates will proceed to a paid design project, allowing us to evaluate your practical design skills in real-world scenarios.
• Phase 4. Trial Projects: You'll undertake four paid trial projects, alternating between QA and design roles, offering a comprehensive view of your capabilities.
• Phase 5. Full-Time Position Offer: Based on the evaluation of the trial projects, we will extend an offer for a full-time position. Welcome to the team! This is your opportunity to contribute significantly to our growth and success. Here, you are joining our long term journey, welcome aboard!

Building Codes Knowledge: Proficiency with the National Building Code of Canada and its application across different provinces is crucial. You must love codes, you do not do anything unless you know where it is located in the code and you do not trust certain decisions until you double check the code. You are a magician to find information on code, can jump from National Building Code to NFPA 33 , NFPA 96 very quickly to find how you can execute a kitchen and a paint booth in the same building and yet ensuring you meet ASHRAE 62 2001 or ASHRAE 62.1 2016.

Enginectra's projects demand not only technical excellence but also an agile mindset capable of navigating tight deadlines and coordinating across time zones. Candidates should be prepared to:

• Work efficiently under pressure, leveraging global teams.
• Make decisive equipment and design choices quickly, with a keen eye on both quality and cost-effectiveness.
• Communicate effectively with clients and internal teams, ensuring clarity and alignment on project goals and specifications.
• Assist cross-disciplinary teams, offering solutions that help overcome delays and maintain project momentum.
