Mechanical engineer

Role Overview

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining mechanical systems within construction projects. This role ensures that all mechanical components — such as HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems — meet safety, efficiency, and regulatory standards.

• Mechanical Design: Develop detailed mechanical layouts, schematics, and load calculations for building systems.
• HVAC System Planning: Design and oversee heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
• Plumbing & Piping: Plan and supervise installation of water supply, drainage, and gas piping systems.
• Fire Protection Systems: Design and coordinate fire suppression and safety systems according to building codes.
• Installation Supervision: Monitor on-site installation and commissioning of mechanical equipment and systems.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure adherence to mechanical codes, workplace safety, and environmental regulations.
• Project Coordination: Collaborate with electrical, civil, and architectural teams to integrate mechanical systems seamlessly.
• Documentation & Reporting: Prepare technical reports, drawings, and progress updates for management and clients.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Strong knowledge of construction mechanical systems and building codes.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, or other mechanical design software.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
