LEAF Engineers is a frontrunner for success in providing comprehensive mechanical, electrical and plumbing, technology, and fire protection engineering design services. Our engineers are focused on system performance, reliability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance. Our work typically consists of large commercial projects, primarily award-winning K-12 schools. With an emphasis on teamwork, we reach beyond the traditional MEP approach to solve problems and integrate a more holistic style to our processes. Within LEAF, you will find a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to learn and accelerate your career.

You will help with the design of HVAC systems for commercial and educational facilities including load calculations, air-unit and chiller equipment selections, ductwork, pump and pipe sizing and layout. You would also be responsible for QA/QC construction documents, provide design ideas and solutions, and train or mentor other Designers, Operators or Engineers.

Your Impact:
• Develop and modify Revit models of plumbing and HVAC systems and components according to established standards
• Review Revit modeling techniques, based on input from the engineering team and project managers
• Manage the execution of the design for Revit models and AutoCAD documents for multiple projects
• Oversee equipment schedules, making changes and adjustments as necessary with input from the engineering team as required
• Use Revit to manage the design for interferences with other building elements and resolve conflicts with other team members
• Interpret consultant design documents and design the necessary HVAC system
• Utilize knowledge of design techniques and principals to mentor and train other designers and engineers involved in the production of plans, sections diagrams, equipment schedules, and drawings.
• Organize detailed documentation to track project development and design process
• Produce coordinated floor plans, riser diagrams, and isometrics for complex HVAC systems
• Monitor installation of equipment and systems to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety codes

Direct Jr. Staff on HVAC load calculations and equipment selection and sizing.

Here’s What You’ll Need:
• 6+ years of work experience with an engineering consultant
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering technology degree
• Proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, and Bluebeam
• Physical ability and willingness to conduct site inspections and fieldwork, i.e., climb ladders, walk on roofs, etc.
• Ability to self-assess and command a high level of accuracy
Here’s How You’ll Stand Out:

• PE Licensed
• Strong oral, written, and communication skills
• Excellent time-management and organizational skills
• Project experience in K-12 educational market

Expert knowledge with MEP energy compliance calculations, and Title-24 documentation using Energy Pro software.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
