HVAC Technical Solutions Manager

About the role

Technical Expertise & Troubleshooting

• Subject matter expert for chiller plants, pumps, cooling towers, air handling systems, automation & controls, and ACMV systems.
• Perform detailed plant and performance analysis, root cause identification, and corrective action planning for underperforming equipment. Analyse and provide solutions.
• Provide rapid solutions to field issues during enhancement or fine-tuning activities
• Conduct detailed on-site measurement and verification using industry-standard tools:
• Water-side instrumentation: Ultrasonic flow meters, differential pressure gauges, and temperature sensors
• Air-side instrumentation: Anemometers, temperature and humidity sensors
• Chiller performance measurements: Refrigerant pressure measurement – manometers
• Prepare Functional Design Specification (FDS) for chiller plant and optimisation strategy
• Evaluate and derive solution for air distribution systems for balancing issues, duct leakage, improper damper operations, and thermal comfort inconsistencies

System Design Validation & Optimization

• Review HVAC design documents (schematics, layout plans, control logic) to identify potential performance or constructability issues.
• Recommend modifications for better efficiency, life cycle cost, maintainability, and compatibility.
• Ensure designs support energy code and regulatory compliance
• Ensure designs future scalability and maintainability.

Commissioning & Performance

• Lead commissioning and fine-tuning of chiller plants, AHUs, and ACMV systems to ensure systems meet or exceed target performance.
• Drive energy saving performance at project completion, ensuring systems meet or exceed design COP (kW/RT).
• Establish baseline operating conditions of existing chiller plants and develop recommendations for achieving optimal efficiency with technical justifications
• Proactively anticipate potential performance or integration issues and develop mitigation strategies to ensure seamless implementation without any operational disruption to client facilities.

Stakeholder & Contractor Management

• Coordinate with project teams, subcontractors, and contractors for chiller enhancement and performance optimisation work.
• Liaise effectively with clients, providing technical advice, updates, and system improvement proposals.
• Keep internal teams informed on client issues and system updates and upgrades
• Support business development by contributing technical insights during proposal preparation, client meetings, and post-project evaluations.
