- Facade Engineer (Aluminium & Glazing)

Location:

UAE

Industry:

Aluminium / Facade / Glazing Manufacturing

Department:

Engineering / Design & Technical

Reports To:

Technical Manager / Engineering Manager

1. Role Purpose

The Facade Engineer is responsible for the design, engineering, technical coordination, and execution of aluminium and facade systems including curtain walls, unitized facades, semi-unitized systems, skylights, ACP cladding, aluminium doors/windows, and glazing works. The role ensures all facade solutions meet structural, aesthetic, thermal, and performance standards while aligning with project specifications and manufacturing capabilities.

2. Key ResponsibilitiesEngineering & Design

Develop engineering designs, calculations, and technical details for aluminium and facade systems as per project requirements. Prepare and review shop drawings, fabrication drawings, installation details, and material take-offs. Ensure designs comply with project specifications, facade performance criteria, thermal requirements, and industry codes (ASTM, EN, BS). Collaborate with design teams to translate architectural intent into feasible facade engineering solutions. Verify structural adequacy of facade components in coordination with structural consultants when needed.

Technical Coordination

Coordinate with consultants, architects, contractors, and internal production teams to finalize facade system details. Prepare and review technical submittals, mock-up details, samples, and performance test documentation. Attend technical meetings, design workshops, and site coordination meetings. Ensure timely approval of drawings and technical documents for fabrication and installation.

Manufacturing & Production Support

Provide clear technical input to production teams for fabrication of aluminium profiles, glass, gaskets, and accessories. Ensure all designs align with factory capabilities, machining constraints, and material specifications. Review fabrication feasibility and optimize designs for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Site & Installation Support

Support installation teams by providing technical clarification and detailed installation methodologies. Conduct periodic site inspections to ensure installation accuracy according to approved drawings and engineering standards. Resolve site-related engineering issues and provide corrective guidance where required.

Quality & Compliance

Ensure facade systems meet structural integrity, waterproofing, thermal performance, and acoustic requirements. Validate compliance with local UAE regulations, international facade standards, and project-specific specifications. Support testing processes such as air/water infiltration tests, structural tests, and thermal simulations (as applicable).

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain organized documentation for all engineering work, revisions, and approvals. Prepare technical reports, engineering studies, material usage reports, and design-related assessments.

3. Experience & QualificationExperience

3-6 years of experience

in facade engineering within the aluminium, glazing, or facade manufacturing industry. Experience with curtain walls, unitized facades, ACP cladding, skylights, and aluminium doors/windows is essential. Strong exposure to UAE facade projects and consultant coordination is preferred. Understanding of material behavior, structural loads, thermal dynamics, and facade system performance criteria.

Qualifications

Bachelor's Degree in

Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering

, or related field. Certifications in facade engineering or related software (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD, Staad Pro, Therm) are an advantage.

4. Skills & Competencies

Strong understanding of facade systems and aluminium engineering Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, and facade analysis tools Ability to read and interpret architectural & structural drawings Strong problem-solving & analytical capabilities Excellent communication and technical presentation skills Attention to detail and solution-oriented mindset Time management and ability to handle multiple projects

5. Additional Requirements

Knowledge of international facade standards (ASTM, BS, EN) Familiarity with performance testing (air, water, structural, thermal) Ability to work closely with cross-functional teams (design, production, QA/QC, site) UAE driving license is an advantage
