Senior Mechanical Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in mechanical works for high-rise building projects. The ideal candidate will be responsible for leading the mechanical engineering efforts in the design, coordination, and execution of mechanical systems for complex building projects. This role requires expertise in HVAC, plumbing, fire protection systems, and other mechanical aspects critical to high-rise buildings, as well as a proven ability to manage multidisciplinary teams and ensure project delivery within budget and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Design and Planning
• Lead the design, development, and implementation of mechanical systems for high-rise building projects, including HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and other related mechanical systems.
• Review and interpret architectural, structural, and electrical drawings to ensure mechanical system designs integrate smoothly with the overall building design.
• Prepare detailed technical specifications, drawings, and reports for mechanical systems and ensure compliance with building codes, local regulations, and client requirements.
• Coordination and Management
• Coordinate and oversee the work of junior engineers, draftsmen, and consultants, ensuring that project timelines and quality standards are met.
• Collaborate with architects, structural engineers, electrical engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure all mechanical systems are efficiently integrated into the building.
• Manage interfaces between mechanical systems and other building systems to resolve any conflicts or design challenges.
• Technical Support and Troubleshooting
• Provide technical leadership in resolving complex engineering issues that arise during the design, construction, and commissioning phases of the project.
• Conduct regular site visits to assess the installation progress, quality control, and compliance with design specifications.
• Offer solutions for operational issues, improve system efficiencies, and identify opportunities for energy conservation.
• Project Management
• Support project managers in estimating mechanical system costs, preparing budgets, and tracking project expenses to ensure mechanical works are delivered on budget.
• Lead and participate in project meetings to monitor the progress of the mechanical works, resolve issues, and ensure that milestones are achieved.
• Ensure that mechanical systems are commissioned properly and operate as designed before final handover to the client.
• Quality Assurance and Compliance
• Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and regulations, including local authority requirements for high-rise buildings.
• Monitor and enforce quality standards across all mechanical systems, including the installation, testing, and commissioning phases.
• Prepare and submit necessary documentation for approvals, such as system design calculations, performance data, and test reports.
• Continuous Improvement and Innovation
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, technologies, and best practices in mechanical engineering for high-rise buildings.
• Propose innovative solutions and improvements to optimize mechanical system performance, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
• Lead the implementation of BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools and technologies for improved design and coordination.

Key Skills and Qualifications

• Education:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• Experience:
• Minimum 8–10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a significant portion of that time working on high-rise building projects.
• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience in the design and installation of mechanical systems such as HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and other related systems in high-rise buildings.
• Experience in managing mechanical works on large-scale commercial or residential high-rise projects.
• Expertise in using engineering design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and other relevant tools for system modeling and simulation.
• Certifications:
• Professional Engineering (PE) License or equivalent is a plus.
• LEED accreditation or familiarity with sustainable building practices is preferred.
• Technical Skills:
• In-depth knowledge of mechanical codes and standards, such as ASHRAE, NFPA, and local building regulations.
• Familiarity with energy modeling, building performance analysis, and sustainable design strategies for high-rise buildings.
• Proficiency in building services systems integration, including BIM (Building Information Modeling).
• Leadership and Communication:
• Proven ability to lead and mentor a team of engineers, designers, and contractors.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly present complex technical concepts to clients, team members, and stakeholders.
• Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and conflict resolution abilities.

Experience:

• Construction: 10 years (Required)
