Description

Sr. Mechanical Engineer – Hydronic & Central Utility Systems Company: Miller Industries Location: Raleigh, NC Job Type: Full-Time About Miller Industries MILLC specializes in developing high‑performance mechanical systems, engineered solutions, and industrial services for commercial, institutional, and manufacturing facilities. We design, build, and maintain critical infrastructure that powers, heats, cools, and supports complex operations. We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer with deep technical experience in hydronic systems and central utility equipment to join our growing engineering team. ---------------------------------------- Position Summary The Mechanical Engineer will lead the design, analysis, and engineering of hydronic systems and central utility plant equipment—including chillers, boilers, pumping systems, cooling towers, air houses, and thermal distribution networks. The role also requires competency in fabrication and assembly methods, as well as an understanding of structural engineering principles to support equipment design, installation, and integration. You will collaborate with project managers, fabrication teams, field installers, and clients to deliver high-quality engineered solutions from concept through commissioning. ---------------------------------------- Key Responsibilities Engineering & System Design * Design and analyze hydronic heating and cooling systems, including chilled water, hot water, steam, and condenser water loops. * Develop engineering documentation: P&IDs, equipment specifications, load calculations, and system schematics. * Size and select major equipment including chillers, boilers, pumps, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and AHUs/air houses. * Perform thermodynamic and energy balance calculations for system optimization and performance verification. * Provide engineering support for central utility plants (CUPs), expansions, and retrofits. Fabrication & Assembly Coordination * Work with fabrication shops to translate engineering designs into buildable assemblies. * Author or review fabrication drawings, weld details, materials specifications, and quality control requirements. * Ensure assemblies meet required tolerances, structural loads, thermal expansion allowances, and installation constraints. * Support field teams during assembly, installation, pressure testing, and startup. Structural & Mechanical Support * Apply structural engineering fundamentals for assessing equipment supports, skids, platforms, frames, anchors, and pipe supports. * Collaborate with structural engineers on load analysis, lifting plans, rigging points, and seismic/wind considerations. * Review or create 2D/3D models ensuring structural and mechanical compatibility. Project Execution & Collaboration * Participate in client meetings, site evaluations, and design reviews. * Prepare and present technical reports, calculations, and engineering recommendations. * Support commissioning activities and troubleshoot mechanical systems during startup. * Ensure all engineering work complies with relevant codes, standards, and regulations (ASME, ASHRAE, SMACNA, etc.). ---------------------------------------- Required Qualifications * Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline. * Strong knowledge of hydronic systems, thermal-fluid science, and thermodynamics. * Experience with central utility plants and major mechanical equipment. * Familiarity with fabrication methods (welding, forming, fitting) and assembly techniques for mechanical systems. * Working understanding of structural engineering principles relevant to mechanical equipment and support structures. * Proficiency with engineering software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, Pipe-Flo, or equivalent). * Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. ---------------------------------------- Preferred Qualifications * Professional Engineer (PE) or EIT certification. * Experience in industrial facilities, HVAC plants, or mechanical contracting environments. * Knowledge of controls, automation, and plant instrumentation. * Background in project management or field engineering.
