We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to play an active role in a greenfield medical manufacturing facility investment project. The candidate will be involved across all stages—starting from the design and technical evaluation of mechanical systems through procurement, site execution, installation, testing, commissioning, handover, and plant startup. Once the facility becomes operational, the engineer will manage maintenance activities and ensure that the mechanical infrastructure is operated reliably, safely, and in compliance with regulations and quality systems.

This position encompasses responsibilities across project execution, procurement, site application, testing, commissioning, and post-startup maintenance processes.

Ensure that mechanical systems and applications comply with relevant standards, regulations, occupational health and safety requirements, and medical sector quality expectations.

Participate in the engineering design, technical evaluation, and implementation processes of the mechanical infrastructure for a greenfield factory investment.

Engage in the design and technical assessment of HVAC, cleanroom HVAC systems, chillers, AHUs, heating-cooling systems, boilers, steam, condensate, compressed air, water, and process utility systems, and oversee their site implementation.

Evaluate the mechanical requirements of process equipment and ensure coordination with the facility infrastructure.

Manage mechanical interfaces with EPCs/contractors, process equipment suppliers, and other engineering disciplines.

Conduct technical specification preparation, bid evaluations, and supplier assessments for mechanical equipment and systems; participate in FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) processes for critical equipment.

Inspect site installations by EPCs/contractors and process equipment suppliers for compliance with project specifications and technical standards; monitor quality, progress, and technical non-conformities.

Supervise site installations for HVAC, piping, boilers, steam, water/purification systems, and process equipment.

Participate in FAT, pre-commissioning, commissioning, SAT (Site Acceptance Test), and functional testing for mechanical systems and process equipment; track test protocols, acceptance documentation, and punch lists.

Verify performance criteria in HVAC systems, including air and water flow rates, temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and related metrics.

Ensure that as-built drawings and technical documentation for mechanical systems and process equipment are completed and kept up to date.

Following plant startup, ensure the reliable operation and maintenance of HVAC systems, chillers, AHUs, boilers, steam, condensate, water/purification systems, compressed air, and process equipment.

Establish and update maintenance procedures, instructions, and technical documentation; ensure activities comply with QMS and GMP…
