Jobbeschreibung

Candidate should be BE in Mechanical Engineering with minimum 15-18 years, or Diploma in

Mechanical Engineering with 18-20 years of relevant experience in design and execution of PHE and

Fire Protection systems for residential and commercial projects.

Candidate should meet the below job description.

Technical

• Good understanding of local and international design standards, codes & local authority

requirements.

• Sound knowledge of design calculations such as water demand estimation, pump head

calculation, pipe sizing, STP sizing, tank sizing, infra services sizing, etc.

• Sound knowledge of the design process from concept to VFC and information flow at each

stage.

• Should be good at space planning for services.
• Should be experienced in review of design documents from service consultants.
• Should have good knowledge of rainwater harvesting systems, WTP, STP and solid waste management.

• Good understanding of architectural and structural drawings and design intent.
• Coordination-level understanding of other services such as HVAC, Electrical, PA System, CCTV System, BMS System, Communication System, etc.

• Good at coordination with relevant stakeholders for follow-up and approvals.
• Good at review and approval of contractors' shop drawings and material submittals.
• Attending site meetings and timely review and response to RFIs and site queries.
• Coordination with commercial and procurement teams for cost inputs and tender technical discussions.

• Active participation in meetings and discussions with valid inputs.
• Technical review of products for rate contracts.
• Coordination and document preparation for authority submissions.
• Should be able to provide real-time solutions wherever possible.

Design Thinking & Problem-Solving

• Evaluates design options on total cost of ownership and constructability, not just first cost

able to build the trade-off case, not just execute a brief.

• Challenges consultant designs with independent first-principles calculation checks rather than

accepting submittals at face value.

• Anticipates downstream coordination clashes (structural, architectural, other MEP services) at concept/schematic stage rather than resolving them at shop-drawing stage.

• Comfortable proposing a design deviation with a reasoned justification when the standard approach doesn't fit a project's constraints.

• Track record of at least one instance of value engineering or design optimisation with a quantified outcome (cost, space, energy, or schedule saved).

Project Management

• Owns the deliverable schedule end-to-end — builds the micro-schedule, tracks it against actuals, and escalates slippage early rather than at the deadline.

• Manages multiple consultants/contractors and workstreams in parallel without dropping quality on any one.

• Structures decisions and approvals to keep the critical path moving — sequences RFIs, submittals, and authority approvals rather than handling them reactively.

• Comfortable owning risk and budget conversations, not just design content — reviews consultant invoices and contractor variation claims with a critical eye.

People Management & Stakeholder Influence

• Demonstrated experience leading and developing a design/site team — not just individually competent, but capable of raising the team's output.

• Able to hold a technical position under pressure from senior stakeholders while remaining collaborative — influences without relying on hierarchy.

• Builds working relationships with consultants and contractors that get better outcomes than the contract alone would produce.

• Communicates technical risk and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders (commercial, procurement, leadership) in terms they can act on.

• A team player with a positive approach to change, and good people-management skill.

Skills

• AutoCAD knowledge for review of drawings, with basic drafting skill.
• Proficient with MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
• Good communication and decision-making.

Added Advantage

• Experience and knowledge of lift traffic analysis.
• Experience and knowledge of HVAC systems.
