The engineer collaborates with civil, structural, systems, and geotechnical teams to deliver safe and efficient design solutions for public works and transportation facilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead MEP design for infrastructure projects such as metro stations, viaducts, tunnels, airports, highways, and water treatment facilities.

• Develop and review detailed engineering designs, specifications, and system layouts tailored to civil infrastructure environments.

• Ensure compliance with infrastructure-specific codes (e.g., NFPA, IEC, IS, NBC, ASHRAE, BS, ECBC) and government regulations.

• Coordinate with civil, structural, systems, and geotechnical teams to integrate MEP systems into complex built environments.

• Conduct feasibility studies, risk assessments, and value engineering to optimize system performance and lifecycle costs.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to MEP design teams.

• Oversee design documentation, tender packages, and technical reports as per delivery program.

• Support site teams during construction, installation, testing, and commissioning phases.

• Incorporate resilience, redundancy, risk assessment, and sustainability into MEP designs as per specifications.

• End-to-end coordination with clients and other stakeholders.

Minimum Qualification:

• B.E. / B. Tech in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering or equivalent in relevant field

• Any equivalent qualification in Management

Key Qualities and Experience:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.

• Minimum 6-10 years of experience in MEP design for civil infrastructure projects.

• Experience with underground works, transportation systems, depots, or utility networks.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, and infrastructure-specific tools (e.g., MicroStation, Navisworks).

• Strong knowledge of infrastructure codes and standards.

• Excellent stakeholder coordination, leadership, and project management skills.

• Ability to review shop drawings during construction with Level of Detail (LOD) 400 or higher to maintain the design intent developed in the design stage.

Technical Skills:

Electrical Design Skills:

• Expertise in designing electrical systems such as lighting, power distribution, cable containment, lightning protection, earthing systems, and BMS for transport and infrastructure projects.

• Perform electrical load calculation (load demand, fault level, voltage drop).

• Plant room and riser sizing through layout arrangement based on selected equipment size.

• Preparation of design reports, calculations, technical specifications, BIM models, and drawings.

• Conduct technical discussions and resolve design issues.

Mechanical & PHE/Firefighting Design Skills:

• Conduct plumbing, firefighting, and site utilities design as per national and international standards.

• Prepare PHE and firefighting calculations, design riser schematics, and coordinate project deliverables.

• Experience from consulting/design environment for large national/international projects.

HVAC Design Skills:

• Design HVAC systems for metro stations and infrastructure buildings using ASHRAE, ISHRAE, ECBC, NBC, and related codes.

• Prepare heat load, ventilation, and pressurization calculations.

• Develop HVAC drawings, BOQ, technical specifications, and design basis reports (DBR).

• Co-ordinate with other MEPF disciplines to ensure integrated design solutions.
