Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design and analyze mechanical systems for construction projects, including HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and related components, ensuring compliance with project specifications, operational requirements, and industry standards.

• Prepare, review, and optimize engineering calculations, simulations, and CAD-based models to evaluate system performance, improve efficiency, and ensure effective mechanical design solutions.

• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams including architects, structural engineers, electrical engineers, consultants, and project managers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems into the overall construction framework.

• Prepare and submit mechanical shop drawings, material submittals, technical documents, and method statements for consultant review and approval.

• Manage consultant comments, design revisions, and approval cycles to secure timely consultant approvals and maintain project progress.

• Coordinate with relevant authorities (such as Civil Defense, Municipality, utility providers, and other regulatory bodies) to obtain required approvals, permits, inspections, and compliance certifications for mechanical systems.

• Ensure all mechanical works comply with local authority regulations, international standards, and project-specific requirements throughout design, execution, and handover phases.

• Oversee installation, testing, commissioning, and final inspections of mechanical systems to verify performance, safety, quality, and operational reliability.

• Monitor site progress, execution quality, and construction schedules to ensure mechanical works are delivered on time, within budget, and according to approved plans.

• Identify technical challenges and develop practical engineering solutions based on site conditions, consultant requirements, authority feedback, and project objectives.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with strong knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, fire fighting, and mechanical systems applicable to construction projects.

• Minimum of 3–8 years of relevant experience in construction projects, particularly in mechanical system design, site execution, MEP coordination, and project delivery.

• Strong experience in preparing and reviewing mechanical shop drawings, material submittals, method statements, and as-built documentation in line with project and consultant requirements.

• Proven knowledge of local authority regulations, codes, and approval procedures, including coordination with Civil Defense, Municipality, utility authorities, and other regulatory entities.

• Experience in consultant coordination, technical submissions, and approval management to ensure timely project progress and compliance.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, and other construction-related engineering software for design coordination, system integration, and technical documentation.

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, installation procedures, testing, commissioning, and project handover processes for mechanical works.

• Ability to manage subcontractors, suppliers, and site teams while ensuring quality control, safety compliance, and adherence to project schedules.

• Professional certifications or specialized MEP/construction qualifications are considered an added advantage.

• Excellent technical, coordination, and problem-solving skills to address on-site challenges, authority requirements, and project execution demands effectively.
