We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our team, specializing in building services. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in the design and implementation of mechanical systems for a variety of building projects, such as commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. This role involves designing mechanical systems such as HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and other building-specific mechanical systems, ensuring they meet all performance, efficiency, and regulatory standards.
Responsibilities:
- Design mechanical systems for buildings, including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), plumbing, fire protection, and other essential systems.
- Produce detailed design documentation, including drawings, calculations, and specifications to meet client requirements and applicable building codes and standards.
- Perform system sizing, load calculations, and energy modeling to optimize the performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of mechanical systems.
- Collaborate closely with other disciplines (architects, electrical engineers, structural engineers) to ensure that mechanical systems are integrated into the overall building design seamlessly.
- Conduct site visits to assess building conditions, verify measurements, and ensure designs are feasible based on existing or proposed conditions.
- Liaise with clients, contractors, and subcontractors to clarify design requirements, provide technical support, and ensure the smooth progression of the project.
- Ensure that all mechanical designs and systems adhere to local building codes, industry standards, and safety regulations.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest design software, industry practices, and regulatory changes to ensure the best possible solutions.
- Perform design reviews and quality checks to ensure the accuracy and quality of deliverables.
- Integrate energy-efficient systems and sustainable technologies, such as renewable energy systems, into designs to meet environmental and energy goals.
- Assist in achieving building certifications (e.g., LEED, BREEAM) by designing energy-efficient and environmentally responsible systems.
- Provide technical support to construction teams during installation and commissioning of mechanical systems.
- Address any design issues that arise during the construction phase and suggest solutions to ensure the systems are installed according to specifications.
- Conduct site inspections and performance testing to ensure systems operate as designed.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of designs, system specifications, and calculations.
- Prepare and present reports for clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Minimum 10 years of experience as a Mechanical Design Engineer, with a focus on building services or HVAC design.
- Proficiency in mechanical design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, and other relevant engineering tools.
- Solid understanding of mechanical building systems (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection) and their integration into overall building designs.
- Strong knowledge of local building codes, standards (ASHRAE, CIBSE), and regulations related to mechanical systems.
- Experience working on commercial, residential, or industrial projects is required.
- Familiarity with sustainable building design practices, energy efficiency measures, and green building certifications (LEED, BREEAM) is a plus.
Desired Skills:
- Experience with BIM (Building Information Modeling) for mechanical system design.
- Knowledge of energy modeling and simulation tools.
- Familiarity with commissioning and testing procedures for mechanical systems.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and effectively meet deadlines.
