MEP Project Engineer Principal

Senior Principal MEP Engineer (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) for vertical assets (hospitality + mix-use offices)

• Integration of modern MEP systems into constrained brownfield sites with legacy utilities and adjacent heritage assets.
• Utility diversion and upgrade expertise: substation relocation, and stormwater retrofits in dense urban cores.
• Design for adaptive reuse of heritage buildings with modern HVAC, electrical, and plumbing while respecting fabric integrity
• Advanced HVAC solutions for Riyadh’s arid climate: high-efficiency chillers, DOAS, displacement ventilation, and hybrid systems.
• Expertise in vertical transportation systems (lifts, escalators) integrated with TOD nodes.
• Coordination of mix-use cores (hospitality, offices, retail) with distinct but interconnected MEP demands.
• Fire & life safety engineering: smoke extraction, fire suppression, and evacuation systems tailored to high-rise mix-use codes.
• Design of smart mobility infrastructure (EV charging, micromobility docking, autonomous shuttle readiness).
• Energy modeling & optimization: net-zero-ready MEP design, renewable integration (solar PV, greywater reuse).
• Water stewardship in arid contexts: low-flow fixtures, greywater recycling, district water management.
• Experience with carbon footprint assessment of MEP systems across lifecycle.
• BIM-MEP proficiency (Revit MEP, Navisworks Manage, Dynamo for MEP workflows).
• Use of CFD modeling for airflow, smoke control, and microclimate comfort.
• Familiarity with energy simulation platforms (IESVE, DesignBuilder, EnergyPlus).
• Capability in GIS integration for infrastructure mapping in complex brownfield sites.
• Oversight of MEP system installation sequencing in tight heritage-adjacent environments.
• Strong knowledge of prefabricated / modular MEP systems for high-rise construction.
• Experience with commissioning, retro-commissioning, and facility handover for large-scale hospitality and office towers.
• Value engineering without compromising heritage and TOD requirements.

15–20 years professional experience in MEP design and delivery for hospitality and mix-use vertical assets.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical / Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or MEP Engineering.
• Chartered Engineer (CIBSE, ASHRAE, IEEE, or equivalent)
• Proven expertise in brownfield urban regeneration projects, ideally in the GCC region.
• Demonstrated success integrating heritage-sensitive MEP retrofits with modern high-rise systems.
