HVAC Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Design & Planning

• Prepare detailed HVAC designs (load calculations, equipment sizing, ducting, and piping).
  • Select appropriate HVAC systemsVRF/VRV, AHUs, FCUs, chillers, cooling towers, etc. • Coordinate with Architectural, Structural, Electrical & Plumbing teams to ensure integrated design. • Prepare detailed drawings, specifications, schedules.

Project Execution

• Oversee procurement of HVAC equipment and materials.
  • Supervise installation, commissioning and testing of HVAC systems. • Ensure installation quality, adherence to drawings & standards. • Manage vendors / subcontractors. • Monitor site progress and resolve issues related to HVAC works.

Technical Evaluation & Optimization

• Perform HVAC load calculations (heating, cooling, and ventilation).
  • Energy modelling & optimization to reduce electrical and cooling loads. • Identify cost effective and sustainable options (e.g., efficient chillers, heat recovery, variable speed drives). • Ensure compliance with relevant codes / standards (e.g. NBC / ASHRAE / local regulations).

Quality & Compliance

• Ensure HVAC systems meet safety, ventilation, and indoor air quality requirements.
  • Maintain documentation (drawings, manuals, O&M instructions). • Implement testing & balancing, performance verification. • Ensure compliance with environmental regulations (e.g. refrigerant usage, emissions).

Operations & Maintenance Support

• Develop maintenance schedules and preventive maintenance plans.
  • Troubleshoot system performance issues. • Provide training / handover to facility management teams. • Monitor system performance postoccupancy and carry out adjustments.

Coordination & Communication

• Coordinate with clients, consultants, contractors, local authorities.
  • Attend site meetings and provide status / reporting. • Manage change orders and variations related to HVAC works.

Required Skills & Competencies

• Strong knowledge of HVAC design principles, load calculation methods, thermodynamics.
• Experience with heat load software / simulation tools (e.g., HAP, TRACE, IES, Revit MEP etc.).
• Good understanding of mechanical systems: chillers, boilers, cooling towers, ventilation systems, duct & piping layout.
• Familiarity with energy efficiency practices, green building certifications (e.g. IGBC, LEED).
• Knowledge of local codes / regulations relevant to HVAC, building construction & fire safety.
• Proficient in interpreting engineering drawings specs.
• Project management skills — ability to manage cost, schedule, quality.
• Strong communication skills in English & Hindi; ability to lead a team.
• Problem solving & analytical thinking.

Experience & Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent); specialization in HVAC / Thermal systems preferred.
• Minimum 510 years of relevant experience in the HVAC field, specifically in highrise residential and/or commercial building projects.
• Proven record of accomplishment: at least two number of completed projects of similar scale (specify e.g., 20+ storey, commercial towers etc.).
• Handson experience of site execution, commissioning and maintenance.
