Lead Engineer, Technical Mechanica

Responsibilities

• Oversee and coordinate mechanical engineering activities across MEP and wet utilities systems, including HVAC, firefighting, plumbing, water, wastewater, irrigation, pump stations, and piping systems.
• Review and validate complex technical submissions, material approvals, and method statements prepared by senior engineers to ensure compliance with project specifications, applicable codes, and execution constraints.
• Resolve escalated technical issues, clarify design conflicts, and lead critical RFIs related to mechanical and utilities systems through proactive problem-solving and root cause analysis.
• Ensure effective integration and coordination between mechanical systems and other disciplines (structural, electrical, architectural, and infrastructure) throughout design and construction stages.
• Supervise the preparation and maintenance of key project deliverables, including technical logs, submittal registers, RFI trackers, and drawing schedules.
• Coordinate with procurement and planning teams to align material deliveries and construction sequences with approved technical solutions.
• Represent the mechanical discipline in technical meetings with clients, consultants, and subcontractors; address technical concerns, support approvals, and contribute to value engineering and assessment of alternative proposals.
• Supervise engineering teams and provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior staff.
• Take ownership and accountability for scope performance, making informed decisions under pressure to maintain project progress.
• Demonstrate flexibility in adapting to design changes and site conditions.
• Manage time and priorities effectively to meet project deadlines.
• Motivate and collaborate with team members to foster a productive and high-performing work environment.

• Set annual and periodic objectives for the mechanical engineering section and contribute to the department work plan in line with project priorities.
• Monitor technical progress of mechanical deliverables, identify deviations, and recommend corrective actions to ensure adherence to quality standards and schedules.
• Promote knowledge sharing, standardization, and best practices across MEP and wet utilities scopes, while staying updated on industry trends, new technologies, and regulatory requirements.

• Perform additional tasks as required to support team objectives and overall business goals.
