Responsibilities:
Pre-Construction & Design Phase
- Analyze design drawings from architects and designers to ensure the feasibility and proper integration of all MEP systems.
- Perform necessary calculations for:
· Hydraulic calculations to correctly size pumps, filters, and piping for optimal water turnover and flow rates in pools and water features.
· Electrical load calculations for lighting, pumps, and other equipment; sizing of transformers and cables.
· Water demand calculations for irrigation systems and water features.
- Select and prepare technical submittals for all MEP equipment (pumps, filters, heaters/chillers, lights, irrigation controllers, etc.) for consultant and client approval.
- Prepare or oversee the creation of detailed MEP shop drawings for site installation, ensuring coordination with civil and structural elements.
Project Execution & Site Management Phase
- Supervise and manage the on-site installation of all MEP systems, ensuring work is executed as per approved drawings and specifications.
- Ensure all electrical and plumbing installations strictly adhere to the standards and regulations of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Dubai Municipality (DM).
- Conduct regular inspections of workmanship and materials to maintain high-quality standards.
- Liaise and coordinate with the civil construction team, project managers, and subcontractors to ensure smooth project progress and resolve any technical clashes.
- Act as the primary technical problem-solver for any MEP-related issues that arise during construction.
Testing, Commissioning, and Handover Phase
- Lead the testing and commissioning process for all installed systems, including pressure testing of pipelines, electrical circuit testing, and equipment functionality checks.
- Calibrate and commission all equipment to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. This includes balancing water flow, setting up filtration cycles, and programming lighting and irrigation controllers.
- Prepare comprehensive handover documents, including As-Built drawings, Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals, and equipment warranties for the client.
- Provide training to the client or their maintenance staff on the proper operation of the installed systems.
Post-Construction & Maintenance Support
- Serve as the technical expert for the company's maintenance division, providing guidance on complex troubleshooting and repairs.
- Occasionally audit existing installations to recommend upgrades or efficiency improvements.
Skills
- In-depth knowledge of DEWA and Dubai Municipality regulations.
- Membership in the UAE Society of Engineers and/or certification as a DEWA-approved engineer is an advantage.
- Must have a valid UAE driving.
- Strong, hands-on knowledge of hydraulics, pump curves, filtration systems, water chemistry equipment, low-voltage electrical systems, and irrigation components.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and other software needed for drawings
- Excellent diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
- Strong ability to read project schedules, manage timelines.
- Ability communicate complex technical information.Attention to detail is crucial for ensuring safety, quality, and compliance in all installations.
