Engineering Design & Cross-Discipline Integration

• Draft, refine, and assess mechanical schematics, layout drawings, technical specifications, sizing calculations, and equipment schedules.
• Coordinate mechanical system interfaces alongside structural, architectural, electrical, ELV, and plumbing teams.
• Issue and resolve technical requests for information (RFIs), answer engineering queries, and participate in model clash-detection reviews.
• Produce complete design submittal packages across all phases, including basis of design documentation, equipment lists, and tender specifications.

Site Support & Submittal Reviews

• Deliver on-demand technical backup to site teams throughout mechanical installation activities.
• Evaluate contractor technical submittals, material documentation, and shop drawings against the core design intent.
• Perform periodic site visits to confirm physical installations match approved engineering drawings.

Testing, System Commissioning & Project Closeout

• Examine field testing protocols, including pipe flushing, pressure testing, cleaning, testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB), and functional run routines.
• Assist site and commissioning personnel during equipment energized start-ups, performance verification, and integrated systems validation.
• Audit and verify as-built drawing packages, operation & maintenance (O&M) manuals, asset registers, and project closeout records.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Experience: 5 to 8 years of mechanical systems design experience, gained predominantly within an engineering consultancy setting.
• Core Technical Knowledge: Solid grasp of HVAC, central chilled water plants, mechanical ventilation, pumping, and hydronic distribution networks.
• Standards & Codes: Working familiarity with international and local engineering standards, including ASHRAE, SMACNA, British Standards (BS/EN), and local Malaysian codes.
• Software Tools: Practical experience using calculation software, MS Office, and engineering document portals; familiarity with Revit (BIM) and Navisworks is highly advantageous.
• Project Sector: Experience delivering designs for mission-critical facilities (such as Data Centres, Hospitals, High-Tech Manufacturing, or Rail projects) is strongly preferred.
