Company: E.MAK Swimming Pool Center
Location: Cairo, Egypt
Workplace Type: On-site
Employment Type: Full-Time
Experience Required: Minimum 10 Years
About the PositionE.MAK Swimming Pool Center is seeking a highly experienced Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in the design of swimming pools, artificial lagoons, water parks, fountains, and water features.
The successful candidate will be responsible for developing complete mechanical design packages, including hydraulic calculations, equipment selection, technical drawings, specifications, and bills of quantities (BOQs).
Candidates must demonstrate substantial hands-on engineering design experience in aquatic facilities. Experience exclusively in general MEP design, construction, or operations and maintenance will not be sufficient.
Key Responsibilities1. Mechanical & Hydraulic Design
- Develop complete mechanical designs for swimming pools, artificial lagoons, water parks, fountains, and water features.
- Perform hydraulic calculations, including system flow rates, turnover rates, pipe sizing, friction losses, total dynamic head (TDH), and pump selection.
- Design circulation, filtration, backwashing, water treatment, and chemical dosing systems.
- Design mechanical systems for water slides, aquatic attractions, interactive water features, and fountains, as applicable.
- Develop equipment layouts, pump room designs, piping networks, and mechanical schematics.
- Perform engineering calculations and evaluate alternative system configurations for performance, efficiency, and reliability.
2. Engineering Drawings & Documentation
- Prepare and review mechanical design drawings, equipment layouts, piping plans, sections, details, and schematic diagrams.
- Develop technical specifications, equipment schedules, and complete mechanical BOQs.
- Prepare design calculations, equipment selection reports, and technical documentation.
- Coordinate with architectural, structural, electrical, and other engineering disciplines.
- Review supplier technical submittals and equipment specifications for design compliance.
3. Technical Coordination & Design Optimization
- Coordinate with clients, consultants, suppliers, and project teams to resolve technical design issues.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable international codes, standards, and project specifications.
- Review mechanical design requirements and identify opportunities for value engineering.
- Evaluate equipment alternatives considering capital cost, operational efficiency, maintenance requirements, and life-cycle costs.
- Provide technical design support during procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning.
Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
* Minimum 7 years of professional mechanical engineering experience, including substantial direct experience in aquatic facilities mechanical design.*
* Proven experience designing swimming pools and associated filtration, circulation, and water treatment systems.
* Demonstrated design experience in artificial lagoons, water parks, fountains, or water features.
* Strong competency in hydraulic calculations, pump selection, pipe sizing, and mechanical equipment selection.
* Proficiency in AutoCAD and hydraulic calculation tools.
* Ability to independently prepare complete mechanical design packages, including calculations, drawings, specifications, and BOQs.
* Strong knowledge of relevant codes, standards, and engineering design practices.
* Good English technical communication and documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- * Experience designing large-scale artificial lagoons and recreational water facilities.
- Experience with water park attractions and specialized water feature systems.
- Familiarity with international aquatic facility standards, including applicable PWTAG, EN, and other relevant requirements.
- Experience with energy-efficient system design, value engineering, and life-cycle cost optimization.
- Previous experience working with specialized aquatic contractors or engineering consultancy firms.
Important NoticeThis position is strictly focused on mechanical engineering design for aquatic facilities.
Applicants with experience limited to general MEP design, site execution, or operations and maintenance, without proven aquatic facilities design experience, will not be considered.
How to ApplyInterested candidates should apply through LinkedIn and submit an updated CV highlighting their relevant aquatic facilities design projects.
- Candidates are encouraged to specify the types of aquatic facilities designed, their individual design responsibilities, and the hydraulic systems and engineering deliverables they have personally developed.
