Experience

1. Mechanical Engineer

   DLR Group

   Jul 2015 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   As a Mechanical Engineer at DLR Group I am responsible for the design of HVAC and plumbing systems from schematic design through construction administration. My experience has included K12, Workplace, Mission Critical, Justice and Civic projects. In a previous role here I also worked for the high performance design team where I conducted building energy studies to support architectural and mechanical design decisions, code conformance, and energy/cost savings reports for various jurisdictions and organizations for financial incentives or building certifications. This role advanced my understanding of mechanical systems and the ability to quantify the implications of design decisions on building performance. In both capacities as a performance analyst and mechanical engineer I have worked directly with clients to understand their needs and communicate our design to achieve their goals.DLR Group is an integrated design firm providing architecture, engineering, planning, interior design, and building optimization from offices coast-to-coast and in China. Core areas of design expertise include Civic, Courts, Detention, Energy Services, Higher Education, Hospitality, K-12 Education, Retail, Sports, and Workplace. Our promise is to elevate the human experience through design. This promise inspires sustainable design for a diverse group of public and private sector clients; local communities; and our planet. DLR Group fully supports the initiatives and goals of the 2030 Challenge and is an initial signatory to the AIA 2030 Commitment.
