MEP Engineer

Role & responsibilities

To manage existing MEP systems.

Preferred candidate profile

Design and Planning • Plumbing Systems: • Design water supply systems, ensuring sufficient pressure and flow rates. • Plan drainage, waste, and vent systems for efficient disposal and treatment. • Design stormwater and rainwater harvesting systems. • Ensure compliance with relevant building codes and regulations for sanitation and environmental protection. • Fire Fighting Systems: • Design fire suppression systems, including sprinkler systems, hydrants, and hose reels. • Plan the layout and design of fire alarms and smoke detection systems. • Select suitable fire extinguishing systems (e.g., water, gas, or chemical-based systems) based on building requirements. • Ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and standards (e.g., NFPA, local codes). 2. Coordination and Collaboration • Work closely with architects, structural engineers, and mechanical engineers to integrate plumbing and fire systems into overall building design. • Coordinate with contractors and construction teams for the installation of plumbing and firefighting systems. • Ensure proper integration of systems to avoid conflicts with other building services (electrical, HVAC, etc.). 3. Installation Supervision • Oversee the installation of plumbing systems, including piping, fixtures, and equipment. • Monitor the installation of firefighting systems, ensuring correct placement and functionality of sprinklers, alarms, and suppression equipment. • Ensure adherence to installation standards and codes, performing quality checks during construction. 4. Testing and Commissioning • Conduct testing of plumbing systems to check for leaks, pressure levels, and functionality. • Carry out hydraulic testing of firefighting systems, verifying that sprinklers, hydrants, and alarms function correctly. • Prepare reports on system performance and suggest any necessary adjustments or repairs. 5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting • Develop maintenance plans for plumbing and firefighting systems. • Diagnose and troubleshoot system malfunctions or failures. • Provide recommendations for system upgrades or modifications to improve efficiency and safety. 6. Compliance and Safety • Ensure all designs and installations comply with local, national, and international standards and regulations (e.g., plumbing codes, fire safety regulations). • Keep up to date with industry standards and implement best practices for water conservation, safety, and fire protection. • Conduct risk assessments and implement preventive measures for fire hazards and water contamination. 7. Documentation • Prepare detailed design documentation, including blueprints, CAD drawings, and system layouts. • Maintain records of system specifications, testing results, and maintenance schedules. • Provide as-built drawings after installation for future reference and maintenance. 8. Sustainability and Efficiency • Implement sustainable plumbing designs, including water-efficient fixtures and systems. • Design firefighting systems that minimize water wastage while maintaining high effectiveness. • Promote the use of green technologies, such as solar water heaters and eco-friendly fire suppression systems. 9. Budgeting and Cost Estimation • Provide accurate cost estimates for plumbing and firefighting systems during the design phase. • Ensure cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or safety. • Monitor project budgets and ensure efficient resource utilization. 10. Training and Awareness • Train facility management teams on the operation and maintenance of plumbing and firefighting systems. • Educate building occupants on water conservation techniques and fire safety procedures. 11. Water Treatment Plant (WTP): • Design, installation, and maintenance of systems for water purification and treatment. 12. Reverse Osmosis (RO): • Knowledge of RO systems for Design, water filtration, including installation and troubleshooting. • Circulation System: Design and implementation of water circulation systems to ensure efficient distribution across the facility. 13. Hot Water System: • Experience in hot water generation, storage, and distribution systems, ensuring energy efficiency and reliability. 14. Sewage Treatment Plant (STP): • Comprehensive knowledge of STP Design, operations, including waste management, water recycling, and treatment processes.
