Senior M&E Engineer

The Senior M&E Engineer is the technical owner for all electrical aspects of HVAC systems in commercial and mission‑critical buildings. The role requires end‑to‑end responsibility from concept design through commissioning and handover, ensuring system reliability, code compliance, energy efficiency, and seamless integration

1. Electrical Design & Engineering

• Lead the electrical design of HVAC systems for commercial buildings

1. Produce and/or technically review:

• Single‑Line Diagrams (SLD)

• Schematic diagrams

• Panel GA drawings

• Wiring diagrams and termination schedules

• Equipment electrical specifications

1. Power Distribution & Equipment Design

• Design and validate electrical systems for HVAC equipment, including:

• Water‑cooled & air‑cooled chillers

• AHUs, MAUs, FCUs, VAV systems

• Chilled water pumps, condenser water pumps

• Cooling towers system

• Engineer and review:

• Low‑voltage power distribution

• MCCs and control panels

• Motor starters (DOL, star‑delta, soft starter)

• VFD sizing and coordination

4. Mechanical (HVAC) Design

• Review the mechanical design and system selection for HVAC systems

• Review:

• Cooling load calculations

• Ductwork and piping layout design

• Air distribution and ventilation strategies

• Pressure drops and hydraulic calculations

• Develop and validate:

• HVAC system schematics and flow diagrams

• Equipment layouts and plantroom design

• Ensure optimal system selection based on:

• Energy efficiency

• Lifecycle cost

• Redundancy and reliability requirements

5. Controls, Integration & Coordination

• Define and review HVAC control philosophies and sequences of operation

• Ensure proper integration between:

• Mechanical systems

• Electrical systems

• BMS (Building Management System)

• Coordinate with:

• Architects

• Structural engineers

• Other MEP disciplines

• Resolve interface issues across disciplines during design and execution

6. Codes, Standards & Authority Compliance

• Ensure full compliance with applicable standards, including:

• IEC / IEEE (electrical)

• ASHRAE / local mechanical codes (mechanical HVAC)

• Prepare documentation for:

• Authority submission and approval

• Consultant technical reviews

• Mitigate compliance risks early in design to avoid site rework or approval delays

7. Project Execution & Commissioning

• Provide technical support during construction and installation

• Review shop drawings and material submittals (M&E)

• Ensure proper system handover documentation and closeout
