Elite Marine A/C is the trusted partner of captains, owners, and shipyards for HVAC service and refit on superyachts. We’re hiring a Mechanical / MEP Engineer to serve as the technical backbone of our refit quoting and project engineering — translating client requirements into precisely-engineered, install-ready solutions on existing vessels. This role advances EMAC’s mission of delivering best-in-class service to large yachts by pairing engineering rigor with a white-glove customer experience: more accurate quotes, defensible specs, and client-ready renderings that help captains and owners see exactly what they’re buying before work begins.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Engineer complete HVAC and mechanical refit solutions for yachts and superyachts integrating supplier-provided HVAC equipment and Spot Zero (sister company) water purification systems into existing vessels — sizing, layout, and serviceability all considered.
- Perform engineering calculations including HVAC heat load calcs, equipment sizing, duct and airflow sizing, chilled water and seawater piping sizing, and condensate management.
- Size electrical loads, wiring, breakers, and panel requirements for installed systems; coordinate with existing shore power, generator, and onboard electrical infrastructure.
- Design plumbing and piping layouts that meet performance, code, and serviceability requirements within the constraints of existing vessel structure and machinery spaces.
- Develop 3D models and layout drawings in SolidWorks, and produce client-ready renderings (KeyShot or equivalent) for inclusion in proposals — giving EMAC a visual quoting advantage that competitors don’t offer.
- Build accurate, line-item Bills of Materials (BOMs) that drive precise quotes, support sales conversations, and minimize mid-project change orders.
- Conduct on-vessel surveys to measure, photograph, and assess existing systems, structural constraints, and installation paths; verify field conditions before final design release.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, install crews, and Spot Zero engineering to ensure designs are buildable, profitable, and on-spec.
- Maintain engineering documentation including drawing packages, install instructions, and as-built records to support service teams and downstream operations.
