[Remote] Life Science Refrigeration Project Developer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Trane Technologies is a world leader in creating sustainable climate solutions. They are seeking a Life Science Refrigeration Project Developer to develop refrigeration turnkey design-build solutions, focusing on cold room contracting and walk-in refrigeration systems throughout the project lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Develop refrigeration systems and solutions — with a primary emphasis on contracting cold rooms, walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, and specialty controlled-temperature enclosures — using FARRAR equipment and controls alongside other leading refrigeration systems; responsibilities include project scoping, concept development, engineering analysis, and system validation
• Lead the development of cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracting proposals, including panel system selection (insulated metal panels, floor systems, door hardware), refrigeration equipment specifications, and MEP coordination required for turnkey delivery
• Support Sales Associates in developing and establishing project installation budgets for cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracts, preparing scope summaries and guiding the engineering team on customer requirements
• Provide key technical support to pursue Life Science contracting business, including participation in strategic job acquisition teams for cold room contracting opportunities in pharmaceutical, life sciences, food & beverage, and industrial markets
• Manage the design process for cold room and walk-in refrigeration projects — from conceptual site plans and preliminary engineering documents through construction documents — ensuring designs meet applicable building codes, FDA/GMP compliance standards, and client specifications
• Evaluate and select refrigeration systems appropriate for cold room contracting applications, including single-stage and cascade refrigeration, CO₂ and low-GWP refrigerant systems, self-contained walk-in units, and remote condensing systems
• Coordinate with subcontractors, including panel installers, mechanical contractors, electrical contractors, and controls integrators, to develop complete cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracting packages
• Continually validate the effectiveness of the Design-Build Turnkey process for cold room and walk-in applications; identify and develop process improvements to increase competitiveness and project delivery efficiency
• Responsible for securing customers from Solutions Development through project transition to Fulfillment across cold room contracting and walk-in refrigeration project types
• Assist and support all efforts of acquisition and customer satisfaction
• Some travel is required, and other duties as assigned

Skills

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Construction Management, or a related field — or equivalent field experience in cold room contracting or walk-in refrigeration installation
• Demonstrated experience with cold room and walk-in refrigeration contracting, including knowledge of insulated panel systems, refrigeration equipment selection, door hardware, flooring systems, and cold room construction sequencing
• Ability to audit existing refrigeration and control systems — including walk-in cooler/freezer systems — and recommend solutions to improve performance, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance
• Understanding of construction methods and practices specific to cold room and walk-in refrigeration installations, including coordination of panel fabricators, refrigeration contractors, and general contractors; ability to communicate with and direct subcontractors to obtain critical proposal information
• General knowledge of basic engineering, electricity, mechanical refrigeration systems, and the building construction industry, with specific familiarity with walk-in refrigeration system configurations (self-contained, remote, split systems) and cold room construction standards
• Familiarity with refrigerant regulations, including EPA SNAP, CARB compliance, A2L refrigerants, and low-GWP alternatives relevant to walk-in and cold room applications
• Project Management experience required; PMP or equivalent certification a plus
• Ability to develop and write refrigeration system-level sequence of operations and control requirements for cold room environments — including temperature mapping, alarming, and monitoring systems — is a strong benefit
• Proficiency in Visio, AutoCAD, and/or other design software relevant to cold room and walk-in layout design; knowledge of computerized energy simulation tools a plus
• Must possess a valid driver's license for a minimum of 12 months, with no major or frequent traffic violations including, but not limited to: DUI, Hit & Run, License Suspension, Reckless/Careless Driving, or multiple smaller infractions or preventable collisions in the previous 3 years

Benefits

• We offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits and programs.
