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.
