HVAC and plumbing systems and support for air and water systems conduct design calculation for the heating and cooling load of facilities and size HVAC system, design Air duct and pipe sizing using ASHARE codes and DOD guidelines and calculate friction losses in a plumbing system and size pumps. Demonstrate skills in chiller systems and the ability to use CAD software to draw complete design concepts. The candidates should be familiar with the HVAC and Plumbing system, chiller, and boiler system including Building Automation System (BAS).
What You’ll Get to Do:
Perform HVAC, HVAC controls, chillers, boiler, water distribution, ductwork, plumbing, and fire protection systems design.
Reviews engineering design proposals, design drawings, specifications, and other technical document submissions and recommend improvements.
Provides advice and guidance to Government engineers involving all aspects of HVAC facilities design, construction, operation, and maintenance or repair.
Reviews reports and studies to identify deficiencies and participate in the planning of construction/redesign programs.
Utilize appropriate software and hardware tools to track load changes or other parameters of design, construction, operation and maintenance, and repair.
Prepares design concepts, program development brochures, MILCON programming documents, cost estimates, economic analyses, plans and specifications, and all related construction project documentation for construction projects to be executed through contract or with Government in-house resources.
Inspects construction projects or existing facilities to identify deficiencies, recommend changes, ascertain compliance with plans and specifications, or for other designated purposes.
Provides guidance, direction, and assistance to technicians working in related disciplines.
Maintain technical liaison and communication between on-site technicians, clients, and vendors.
Perform on-site surveys to develop “to-scale” designs and detailed reports. Participate in construction inspections and final inspections.
Generate sketches and drawings showing relation of proposed installation in existing or new facilities with exact specifications and dimensions.
Confer with engineering staff and other personnel to identify and resolve problems with the design or implementation.
Coordinate design components with a multi-disciplinary as required for site-specific modifications and new construction.
Prepare AutoCAD construction drawings and prepare site-specific specifications and contract documents and independent cost estimates.
Perform project management related tasks and communication (including safety plans, sequence of work, cutover plans).
