Mechanical Engineer-Engineering industry

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Engineering & Design

• Lead the conceptual and detailed design of mechanical systems for construction projects including HVAC plumbing drainage fire protection compressed air and water supply systems.
  

• Ensure all designs align with project specifications regulatory standards sustainability goals and client requirements.
  

• Develop mechanical engineering strategies that improve system performance reduce energy consumption and enhance lifecycle value.
  

Project Management & Execution

• Oversee mechanical aspects of building and industrial projects from design through commissioning and handover.
  

• Prepare and review mechanical BOQs specifications and tender documents and support technical evaluations during the procurement stage.
  

• Supervise on-site mechanical works ensuring compliance with approved drawings quality standards and safety protocols.
  

• Coordinate with architects civil engineers and electrical engineers to ensure full integration of mechanical systems within construction designs.
  

Systems Analysis & Optimization

• Conduct load calculations fluid flow analyses duct sizing and equipment selection for HVAC and plumbing systems.
  

• Use simulation and modeling tools (e.g. AutoCAD MEP Revit or SolidWorks) to verify designs and optimize system efficiency.
  

• Perform energy audits and propose efficiency improvements in existing mechanical systems.
  

Compliance & Quality Control

• Ensure all mechanical systems comply with local and international building codes (ASHRAE NFPA BS or ISO standards).
  

• Conduct regular inspections testing and commissioning of mechanical installations.
  

• Maintain detailed documentation of mechanical designs installations and maintenance schedules.
