Senior MEP Engineer (Hospitality Construction)

Role Summary:

Direct ownership of the installation, integration, testing, balancing, and operational commissioning of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire life-safety networks. Ensures all infrastructure operates at flawless luxury hospitality standards.

Core Performance Areas & Responsibilities:

A. Complex Central Utility Integration

· Heavy Utility Oversight: Supervise layout, structural integration, and heavy rigging for high-capacity backup generators, automatic synchronized switchgears, and power distribution links.

· HVAC & Climate Control: Direct the installation, ductwork routing, and load balancing of centralized chiller systems, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) units, and dedicated kitchen/laundry exhaust networks.

· Water & Fluid Dynamics: Manage the implementation of heavy-duty reverse osmosis water treatment plants, complex graywater recycling systems, and high-pressure commercial booster pump loops.

B. Specialized Hospitality Infrastructure

· Commercial Food & Beverage MEP: Coordinate heavy-gauge drainage, dedicated gas line plumbing, localized grease traps, and precise electrical rough-ins required for high-capacity commercial kitchens and bars.

· Industrial Laundry & Operations: Manage high-volume steam lines, rapid-drain graywater plumbing, and heavy-amperage dedicated electrical feeds for industrial washers, dryers, and ironers.

· Guestroom Automation: Ensure flawless low-voltage wiring and system paths for automated guestroom energy management systems (EMS), electronic smart locks, and smart room environmental controls.

C. Life Safety & Access Control

· Fire Protection: Enforce rigid zero-tolerance parameters on the installation of comprehensive fire detection zones, automated wet/dry sprinkler lines, and localized fire suppression systems built to international codes.

· Security Networks: Oversee physical implementation of centralized CCTV matrices, biometric access boundaries, and discrete security response zoning integrated naturally into the architectural layout.

D. Subcontractor Management & Testing

· Drawing Audits: Rigorously evaluate subcontractor MEP shop drawings, schematic modifications, and load calculations against primary architectural models to proactively mitigate spatial conflicts.

· Testing & Commissioning (T&C): Formally command the final structural air and water balancing processes, pressure load verifications, and seamless black-start emergency power simulations required to pass international hotel brand criteria.

Candidate Profile & Qualifications

· Academic Foundation: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a highly relevant building services discipline from an accredited university.

· Professional Tenure: Minimum of 7–10+ years of active, on-site construction engineering experience, with a definitive mandate of completing at least one major international hotel or high-end multi-use commercial asset.

· Regulatory Mastery: Deep, fluent working command of global technical directives, including ASHRAE, British Standards (BS), National Electrical Code (NEC), and NFPA regulations.
