Job Description

• We are currently looking to fill the position of a Mechanical Design Engineer with 7 – 15 years’ experience who is specialized in VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and HVAC systems and will be responsible for the design, planning, and development of efficient climate control systems to join our dynamic team.
• This role requires a deep understanding of mechanical systems, energy efficiency, and coordination with other engineering disciplines. Below is a detailed job profile for this position:

Key Responsibilities
Design and Engineering of VRF and HVAC Systems:

• Develop detailed designs for VRF and HVAC systems, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.
• Perform load calculations, heat transfer analysis, and airflow design to meet project requirements.
• Use design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or specialized HVAC design tools to create schematic designs and layouts.

System Integration and Coordination:

• Ensure seamless integration of VRF systems with other building services, such as electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
• Coordinate with other MEP disciplines, architects, and contractors to ensure that the mechanical designs are compatible with overall building architecture and construction.

Equipment Selection:

• Select appropriate HVAC and VRF equipment, such as indoor/outdoor units, compressors, heat exchangers, and ductwork.
• Consider energy efficiency, cost, and compatibility with the building's mechanical systems during equipment selection.

Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:

• Design energy-efficient VRF and HVAC systems that meet environmental standards and energy codes (such as LEED or ASHRAE).
• Focus on reducing the building's overall energy consumption and carbon footprint through innovative and sustainable design solutions.

Load Calculation and Simulation:

• Conduct cooling and heating load calculations for various building zones to ensure proper system sizing and distribution.
• Perform energy modeling and simulations to predict system performance under different conditions and ensure compliance with energy codes.

Documentation and Compliance:

• Prepare detailed design drawings, technical specifications, and system layouts.
• Ensure all designs comply with relevant codes and standards (e.g., ASHRAE, local building codes, and energy efficiency standards).
• Submit designs for approvals and coordinate with authorities to ensure compliance with regulations.

Project Management Support:

• Work closely with the project management team to ensure designs are implemented correctly on-site.
• Provide technical guidance and support during installation, testing, and commissioning of VRF and HVAC systems.
• Conduct site inspections to monitor the progress of HVAC system installations and resolve any technical issues.

Troubleshooting and Optimization:

• Assist in the troubleshooting of VRF and HVAC systems during installation and commissioning to ensure they operate as designed.
• Provide recommendations for system upgrades or adjustments to improve efficiency and performance.

Qualifications

• Interested candidates should possess an HND / B.Eng Degree with 7-15 years experience.
