MEP & Building Design Engineer

Mephistopheles • Freelance

May 2023 - Aug 2023 • 3 mos

As an MEP & Building Design Engineer, I specialized in the development of electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and building services documentation for residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects. My responsibilities included preparing permit-ready electrical drawings, power distribution layouts, lighting plans, load calculations, panel schedules, single-line diagrams, and coordinated MEP documentation using AutoCAD and industry-standard engineering practices. I worked closely with architects, contractors, developers, and project stakeholders to ensure that architectural, structural, and MEP systems were accurately integrated and construction-ready. My experience covered commercial buildings, office spaces, retail developments, residential projects, tenant improvements, renovations, and building upgrades. Key responsibilities included electrical system design, HVAC coordination, construction documentation, permit drawing preparation, drafting support, technical detailing, and drawing revisions throughout project development. I also assisted in identifying design conflicts, improving drawing coordination, and supporting smooth permit approval and construction processes. Through this role, I developed strong expertise in AutoCAD drafting, MEP coordination, electrical design documentation, load calculations, construction drawings, and building engineering workflows while delivering accurate, organized, and code-conscious design packages that supported successful project execution
