Job Description

The MEP Engineer will be responsible for the design, planning, installation, and optimization of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within building projects, with a specific mandate to maximize energy efficiency, minimize water consumption, and significantly reduce operational utility costs. This role requires expertise in sustainable design practices, energy management systems, and a deep understanding of building performance optimization.

Key Responsibilities Mechanical Systems (HVAC Optimization)

Design energy-efficient HVAC systems

that balance occupant comfort with minimal energy consumption. Perform heating and cooling load calculations and select high-efficiency equipment, such as variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems or geothermal heat pumps. Optimize ductwork and ventilation systems for optimal air quality and efficient air distribution to reduce energy waste. Incorporate smart controls and Building Automation Systems (BAS) to manage climate control based on real-time occupancy and usage data.
Electrical Systems (Power & Lighting Efficiency)

Design and implement efficient electrical power distribution systems

to reduce electricity losses. Specify and install energy-efficient lighting solutions, including LED fixtures, motion sensors, and daylight harvesting systems to minimize artificial lighting needs. Integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, into the building's power grid where feasible, and manage battery storage solutions. Ensure the use of smart building technologies and automated controls to optimize overall energy use.
Plumbing Systems (Water Conservation)

Design water supply and drainage systems that minimize water consumption

without compromising functionality. Specify and install low-flow fixtures in bathrooms, kitchens, and other facilities. Implement alternative water sources and recycling systems, such as rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, to reduce reliance on potable water and associated heating costs. Ensure all piping is properly insulated to improve system efficiency.
Energy Management & Sustainability

Conduct comprehensive energy audits and performance modeling

to identify energy-saving opportunities and establish baseline consumption data. Develop and implement sustainable design strategies that reduce the building's carbon footprint and ensure compliance with green building certifications (e.g., LEED or BREEAM standards). Perform retro-commissioning on existing buildings to restore or improve system performance and efficiency. Liaise with utility providers to understand rate structures and optimize building operations to minimize utility charges.
Qualifications & Skills

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. Proven experience in designing and managing MEP systems, with a strong portfolio of projects demonstrating significant energy and water savings.
