Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer Role Purpose

The role of a Mechanical Design Engineer is to plan, execute and coordinate engineering and design activities of the project. To conduct design reviews, support the processes of design consultants appointment & management, project engineering, commissioning support ensuring consistent application of agreed procedures and utilization of standard forms.

• Conduct the mechanical engineering and design activities on the project.
• Own mechanical packages.
• Ensure the design management process is being followed on the project by either taking on the role directly or supporting an individual on the project team responsible for this role.
• Account for the commissioning process during the design and engineering development stage.

• Read and understand EHS Plan.
• Read, understand and promote the mechanical safe systems of work (MSSW).

• Produce pre-qualification packs (PQP) for design services and RFQ’s for equipment. Forward to project quantity surveyor for Subcontractor Package or Procurement Manager for Purchases.

RFQ shall include:

• Scope of Works
• Drawings and Specifications
• Compliance, Deviation and Exclusion Matrices
• Schedule – deliveries, installation and commissioning requirements

PQQ shall be in line with MP17 – Selection and appointment of design consultants.

• Evaluate RFQ and PQP returns for technical compliance and scope alignment, report to the project manager, quantity surveyor and procurement manager.
• Mark-up equipment and design services quotes to advise the project manager of the correct scope that aligns with the technical submittal and design brief.
• Develop and update procurement & design schedule/tracker with project planner. Continuously update the tracker until all technical submittals achieve status A, design deliverables accepted and materials/equipment have been delivered.

• Be engaged and utilize the documentation workflow for the project. Documentation generation, peer review, submission, re-submission, distribution etc.
• Review, comment and understand Quality Plan.
• Develop the project scope specific ITP considering project specification, client and local requirements.
• Develop system tracker including equipment detail, interfacing details (electrical & control), commissioning checklists and walkdown requirements.
• Develop and agree testing protocols for FATs and SATs.
• Attend, supervise and record FATs for CFCI/OFCI equipment.
• Coordinate and record the execution of SATs as dictated in the ITP.
• Review and understand any local authority requirements and arrange submissions and sign off.
• Develop lessons learned log of the project and continually update.
  • Indicate what the learning was
  • What the outcome or mitigations were
  • Indicate whether it was an internal finding or should be reported externally
  • Indicate if it was a cost, time or both impacts.
• Develop BCAR, LEED, and BREEAM plan in line with the ITP and organize the associated inspections.
• Compile BCAR, LEED, and BREEAM certificates as required and include in the pack.
• Ensure O&M is produced in line with the specification and agreed program.

• Understand and provide input and updates to the project schedule.
• Input ROJ dates of CFCI equipment onto the equipment tracker.
• Request and monitor the OFCI delivery dates.
• Attend 12 week look ahead meetings.
• Flag any procurement or commissioning roadblocks and risks with planner and PM.

• Complete familiarisation and technical reviews on projects and record notes. Pose questions to the estimators and submit relevant RFI’s for clarifications on design/ scope.
• Develop systems tracker along with equipment tag references, details and interfaces.
• Develop and track design responsibility matrix/ contractor design portion (CDP).
• Develop Design Deviation and Exclusions Log to ensure the team are aware of the agreed deviations and exclusions from design.
• Validate the design using the request for information (RFI), design review process and performing the appropriate high level technical calculations.
• Identify, evaluate and propose value engineering or cost saving opportunities from a technical perspective.
• Develop schematic’s when gaps…
