Why TMCo
About TMCo
At TMCo, we’re a New Zealand–owned, multidisciplinary consultancy delivering structural, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, civil, fire, and sustainability services across
Aotearoa and Australia. With ~80 staff and 10 offices, we partner with clients in every type of project including commercial, health, education, industrial, residential,
seismic resilience, refurbishment, airports, etc...everything!
We’re practical, down-to-earth people who back each other to deliver quality design, smart solutions, and outstanding client outcomes.
Job description
What You’ll Do
• Deliver mechanical/HVAC design from concept to construction: calculations, design intent, selections, schedules, specs, and client comms.
• Work with the TMCo draughting team to produce coordinated Revit MEP models and clear, buildable documentation.
• Review and communicate in 3D (Revit drafting skills a plus but not essential).
• Collaborate closely with other services disciplines in-house and externally to resolve issues early and ensure coordinated delivery.
• Engage with clients, architects, and contractors to communicate designs clearly.
• Support in documenting sustainability aspects (Green Star, Homestar, NABERS, carbon counting, IES modelling – nice to have but not essential).
• Assist with fees, bids, reverse briefs, and reporting as part of the project lifecycle.
• Carry out site inspections and observation, respond to RFIs, and issue construction advice notes (CANs).
Candidate profile
What you’ll bring
• 3+ years’ mechanical (HVAC) experience in NZ consultancy design and construction (this is an absolute must have).
• Curious, quality-focused, and keen to grow.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, able to adapt to clients, contractors, and technical teams.
• Solid understanding of NZBC, AS/NZS standards, and good engineering practice.
• Bonus: skills in other disciplines, Revit, or sustainability.
