OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY
Mechanical System Design & Technical Leadership:
- Lead the comprehensive design of mechanical systems for high-rise, commercial, and industrial projects, including HVAC, plumbing, drainage, and fire protection systems.
- Perform and oversee detailed engineering calculations, including heating and cooling load analysis, energy modelling, and hydraulic simulations, to ensure system optimisation and code compliance.
- Prepare and approve all technical design documentation, including detailed drawings, system schematics, equipment specifications, and performance criteria.
- Conduct rigorous value engineering on mechanical systems to optimise for energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and long-term sustainability without compromising performance.
- Stay current with the latest industry technologies, building codes, and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, NFPA, IPC) to ensure all designs are safe, compliant, and innovative.
Project Execution & Construction Support:
- Act as the lead technical authority for mechanical systems during the construction phase, providing expert guidance to site teams and resolving complex installation challenges.
- Manage and respond to all mechanical-related Requests for Information (RFIs) and review contractor submittals to ensure adherence to design intent and specifications.
- Conduct regular site inspections to monitor the quality of installation, witness equipment testing, and ensure compliance with design documents and safety standards.
- Collaborate closely with architects, structural engineers, and other disciplines to ensure the seamless integration of MEP systems within the overall building design.
- Oversee the commissioning process of mechanical systems to verify performance and facilitate a smooth handover to the client and facility management teams.
Team Development & Mentorship:
- Mentor and train junior and intermediate mechanical engineers, providing guidance on design best practices, calculation methods, and the use of engineering software.
- Delegate design tasks effectively, reviewing the work of team members to ensure technical accuracy, quality, and professional growth.
- Foster a culture of technical excellence and collaboration, encouraging knowledge sharing and innovative problem-solving within the mechanical engineering team.
- Assist in the development of internal design standards, workflows, and procedures to improve team efficiency and consistency.
Requirements
Hard skills and experience:
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering is mandatory; a Master's Degree is preferred.
- A minimum of ten (10) years of progressive experience in the design of mechanical building services for large-scale commercial, residential, or industrial projects.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent professional chartership is required.
- Demonstrated expertise in the design of a wide range of mechanical systems, including central cooling/heating plants, complex hydronic systems, VRF systems, plumbing, and fire suppression systems.
- In-depth knowledge of international and local building codes and standards related to mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering
