My company, Belden consulting engineers, is hiring mechanical engineers/designers right now. We do HVAC and plumbing design for residential and commercial buildings. You must have experience in HVAC or plumbing design as well as great AutoCAD skills. PE license not required. Some of our clients include Peet's coffee, Long's, Safeway, Pulte homes and many more. Our office is in Dublin.

If you're interested post on this thread and I will get you the contact info.

 

thanks.

i'll let A RsEX know about it.

 

HEy...I'm EE, but I have a friend who is a recently graduated ME from Washington State...GPA >3.0, etc...I can get you his resume but is your company lookking for experiencE?

 

hmm...im pretty sure none of my ME buddies have any idea how the hell to design an HVAC system (myself included)

 

Well my supervisor said experience is neccessary, but we are looking for 2 or maybe more people to expand our ME dept so I will talk to him about the other positions.

 

i have a degree in me, but i work in the civil field. no direct experience in hvac but I think my AutoCAD skills could make up for it. I also have some experience in pipeline stuff (i know its not hvac but its still pipes)

whats the pay and benefits like?

 

Pay is negotiable and full benefits...medical, dental, vision, 401k, esop + vacation & sick leave.

I could forward your resume to my supervisor if you are still interested...email it to me at davidh @ beldeninc.com.

 

crap, that means i have to update it. I will see if I can find some time get it updated this week

 

Do you guys do work with companies in getting BAAQMD permitting?

 

Sorry, we don't...I think that is more along the lines of environmental engineering.

 

I need some assistance with permitting; can you recommend a company?
Thanks,

Steve

 

you could try...

I don't have direct experience with them, but I have heard they are good from several sources.

 

I'm currently in school for ME and transferring back to norcal. Do you guys do internships?

 

Not that I know of, at least we havn't in the past. Our company is relatively small and currently we are focusing on expansion to meet some of our upcoming deadlines. You could always send me your resume and I could forward it to my supervisor...

 

a lot of people go into mechanical engineering b/c they like cars or machines, airplanes, and end up doing HVAC since being ME you have a good background in fluids and dynamics. IMHO a person doing ME who wants to do the exciting (not saying HVAC isn't, I'm sure designing a complex system for a large skyscraper or something would be really fun!) should really try to get a master's so they can get into the thermosciences, or learn to do FEA (that's really fun, if you want I'll sne you a copy of FEMlab, you don't need to know finite element math to use it but it's really, really cool. You can model, say, the sound a muffler design will produce or the temperature distribution in a brake rotor undergoing braking, damn near everything in the world), or get into MEMS.

it's the same with EE as well. Undergrads usually (even if you go work for say Intel or Analog devices) end up doing hardware verification or designing test boards. Gotta get a pHD to do the cool stuff...
