مهندس ميكانيكي أول

Our newest opportunity is for a talented Lead Mechanical Engineer - to join our award-winning team based in Riyadh, KSA.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Review Engineer to join our construction consultancy team on a prestigious mega project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The successful candidate will be responsible for reviewing mechanical designs, ensuring technical compliance, managing design assurance processes, and coordinating with multidisciplinary stakeholders to achieve high-quality, compliant, and construction-ready design deliverables.

We envisage success in this role to include:

• Design Review and Assurance

  • Lead and manage the mechanical design review process across all relevant project stages, ensuring compliance with project specifications, Employer's Requirements, applicable codes, standards, and Saudi regulations.

  • Develop and maintain comprehensive design review schedules, workflows, review procedures, and design assurance processes.

  • Conduct detailed technical reviews of mechanical design submissions, including HVAC systems, ventilation, chilled water systems, plumbing, drainage, and associated mechanical services, as applicable to the project scope.

  • Evaluate design calculations, drawings, technical specifications, equipment schedules, design reports, and other engineering deliverables for accuracy, completeness, coordination, and compliance.

  • Provide clear, technically sound recommendations for design stage approvals and Issued for Construction (IFC) submissions.

  • Identify design gaps, inconsistencies, non-compliances, and potential technical issues, ensuring timely resolution before approval or construction.

  Design Compliance, Value Engineering and Constructability

  • Undertake Design Compliance Reviews to verify that all mechanical design deliverables meet contractual requirements, project specifications, Employer's Requirements, applicable codes, standards, and statutory regulations.

  • Conduct Value Engineering (VE) reviews to identify opportunities for cost optimization, improved system performance, energy efficiency, and lifecycle value without compromising quality or compliance.

  • Perform constructability reviews to assess the practicality, sequencing, accessibility, installation requirements, and maintainability of proposed mechanical systems.

  • Identify opportunities to optimize design solutions, reduce construction complexity, minimize potential rework, and improve operational efficiency.

  • Assess proposed design changes and alternatives, providing technical recommendations supported by engineering principles and project requirements.

  Design Coordination and Comment Management

  • Develop, maintain, and manage Design Review Comment Registers and Comment Resolution Registers, ensuring comments are clearly documented, assigned, tracked, and closed out.

  • Coordinate with architects, structural engineers, other engineering disciplines, BIM teams, contractors, clients, and relevant stakeholders to resolve design interfaces and technical issues.

  • Monitor the status of design submissions, review cycles, outstanding comments, and approval milestones to ensure timely completion.

  • Facilitate technical workshops and design review meetings, documenting decisions, action items, responsibilities, and agreed resolutions.

  • Verify that comments have been adequately addressed in revised submissions before recommending approval or acceptance.

  • Maintain accurate design review records and provide regular progress updates on review status, outstanding issues, and potential impacts on project delivery.

  BIM Coordination and Design Risk Management

  • Coordinate with BIM teams to review multidisciplinary model coordination, clash detection results, and BIM Coordination Reports, ensuring mechanical services are appropriately integrated with architectural, structural, and other building systems.

  • Identify, assess, and monitor design-related risks, maintaining Design Risk Registers and recommending appropriate mitigation measures.

  • Evaluate the potential impact of design risks on construction sequencing, programme, cost, quality, safety, and operational performance.

  • Proactively identify design interface issues and discrepancies that could result in delays, variations, rework, or construction challenges.

  • Support the implementation of design assurance procedures and continuous improvement initiatives throughout the project lifecycle.

  Stakeholder and Project Coordination

  • Work closely with the wider construction supervision and project management teams to ensure mechanical design deliverables are aligned with project objectives and construction requirements.

  • Liaise with design consultants and contractors to clarify technical matters, resolve discrepancies, and ensure submissions meet the required standards.

  • Provide specialist mechanical engineering input during technical discussions, design workshops, and project coordination meetings.

  • Ensure all reviews, recommendations, and approvals are documented in accordance with project procedures and document control requirements.

Desired Candidate Profile

To be successful in this dynamic opportunity, we envision that your career journey to date will include 15+ years work experience partnered with a Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering.

The successful candidate should demonstrate proficiency in the following software and systems:

• Mechanical Design Software: HAP, Carrier, Elite, and Revit MEP.
• BIM and Coordination: Navisworks.
• Design and Drafting: AutoCAD.
• Office Applications: Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
