Aviation Mechanical Lead for Airport Projects

WSP in the Middle East; Dammam; Presencial; SAR 450.000 - 600.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

WSP in the Middle East seeks a Principal / Associate Mechanical - Airport Project Experience to lead design and delivery of aviation facilities, including hangars, workshops, and catering areas. You will be the mechanical technical authority for HVAC and process systems, ensuring safety, hygiene and energy performance.

You will drive concept-to-IFC outcomes with BIM-led coordination, perform loads and CFD studies, and manage multidisciplinary teams in a live airport setting.

Formación

• 15+ years’ experience in building services (mechanical/HVAC) with significant aviation project delivery.
• Professional registration (e.g., CEng/PE) strongly preferred.
• Proven leadership as Lead/Principal Engineer on multi-disciplinary design projects.
• Prior delivery in live airport environments (airside/landside) is preferred.
• Expertise writing BoDs, specifications, P&IDs, control sequences, etc.
• BIM fluency: Revit, Navisworks; CFD exposure preferred.

Responsabilidades

• Lead mechanical/HVAC design from feasibility to construction support for aviation facilities.
• Own the environmental strategy for very large volumes (hangar bays): heating/cooling concepts, destratification, purge/exhaust modes, make-up air, and controls sequences.
• Engineer specialist ventilation for hazardous operations: paint spray booths/rooms, fuel-cell maintenance/purge ventilation, welding/fume extraction, VOC control, and hazardous-area interfaces with electrical/controls.
• Integrate process utilities common to MRO and workshops.
• Shape catering facility HVAC and hygienic air zones: kitchen exhaust & makeup air (NFPA 96), pressure cascades, temperature/humidity control for clean prep/packing.
• Deliver BIM-led coordination across architecture, structures, process, fire protection, and controls; lead clash resolution and model QA.
• Run calculations & simulations: loads, duct/pipe sizing, ventilation rates, smoke/fume capture, and CFD when needed for thermal comfort studies.
• Author technical documents: BoD, design reports, specifications, sequences of operation, FAT/SAT/commissioning plans.
• Engage stakeholders—airlines/MROs, airport operators, food safety teams, and authorities to secure approvals.
• Lead retrofit, refurbishment, and brownfield upgrade projects within operational airport environments—assessing existing systems, developing phased upgrade strategies, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations, and integrating new systems with legacy infrastructure.
