We are a dynamic engineering & construction company specialising in landmark building projects across the UAE. We deliver high-quality mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services and are looking to bring on a Senior Mechanical Site Engineer to lead the mechanical discipline on-site.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and manage all mechanical site activities in an MEP construction environment including HVAC, plumbing, fire-fighting and LPG systems.
Shop Drawings & Material Submittals:
Prepare, review and submit mechanical shop drawings and material submittals in a timely manner.
Ensure that shop drawings and submittals reflect the design intent, contract specifications, coordination with other disciplines and are fully compliant with codes, standards and site conditions.
Track the review and approval cycle of shop drawings/material submittals; ensure proper revision control, timely resubmissions, and linkage to procurement/fabrication/installation.
Use the submission process to identify and resolve clashes, coordination issues (e.g., HVAC ducts vs structural penetrations, plumbing vs fire-fighting services), and any deviations before fabrication begins -- thereby reducing costly rework, installation delays and liability risks.
Ensure that approved drawings/material submittals serve as the basis for procurement, fabrication, installation and as-built documentation.
Review mechanical design drawings and specifications, ensure compliance with project requirements and local codes.
Coordinate with contractors, subcontractors, other disciplines (electrical, structural, architectural) and project management teams.
Ensure proper installation, testing and commissioning of HVAC systems, plumbing networks, fire-fighting systems and LPG systems.
Monitor site progress, maintain mechanical work schedules, track manpower and materials, foresee and mitigate schedule or quality risks.
Conduct site inspections, quality checks, ensure adherence to safety, health & environment (SHE) standards and ensure the work meets mechanical scope and specification.
Prepare mechanical progress reports, as-built documentation, punch-lists and handover packages.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior mechanical engineers/technicians on site.
Required Skills & Experience:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).
At least 6 years of proven experience in mechanical engineering on building MEP construction projects with major exposure to HVAC, plumbing, fire-fighting and LPG systems.
Strong knowledge of HVAC design and execution (air-handling units, VRF/chiller systems, ductwork, controls).
Experience in plumbing systems (domestic cold/hot water, drainage, storm water).
Solid experience in fire-fighting systems (sprinklers, hydrants, clean-agent systems).
Proven experience in LPG system design or execution is a strong advantage.
Excellent understanding of the shop drawing/material submittal process, its role in mitigation of risk, coordination of trades, accuracy of fabrication/installation and documentation for as-built and maintenance purposes. (See, for example, how shop drawings act as a bridge between design intent and actual installation.
Good knowledge of local UAE building codes and MEP standards, and relevant health & safety regulations.
Strong subcontractor management, coordination skills, problem-solving and decision-making capabilities.
Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal).
Able to work on site under high-pressure conditions, flexible to visit demands.
