Superintending Engineer -Refrigeration/HVAC

Mandatory Qualifications

Mechanical Engineer

Work Experience in Relevant Field

15-20 Years

Technical Skills Required

• Develop Basis of Design for Cleanroom HVAC, comfort cooling, AHUs, ducting, VAV systems, and refrigeration plants (including chillers, compressors, and cooling towers). • Plan and review layouts for classified zones, VFD-integrated AHUs, VRF systems, dehumidifiers, and air balancing. • Ensure refrigeration load calculations, psychrometric analysis, and heat load estimations are done precisely. • Define control strategies (BMS, SCADA) for temperature, RH, and differential pressure.

• Prepare and review GFC drawings, BOQs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and vendor submittals. 2.2 Project Planning & Execution: • Execute HVAC & refrigeration systems for greenfield, brownfield, and capacity expansion projects. • Supervise site execution, equipment installation, commissioning, validation (DQ, IQ, OQ), and performance testing. • Review contractor deliverables, approve MEP coordination layouts, and conduct FAT/SAT. • Implement redundancy and zoning strategies for critical cleanroom applications.

• Ensure HVAC-R designs are fully compliant with GMP, WHO, USFDA, and Schedule M norms. • Monitor parameters like air changes, pressure gradients, and HEPA filter integrity. • Lead HVAC qualification protocols and support audits with technical documentation. • Maintain records of HVAC performance data, breakdowns, and maintenance schedules.

• Drive initiatives to reduce HVAC energy consumption through advanced technologies (e.g., EC fans, VFDs, enthalpy wheels). • Optimize chilled water and refrigerant systems with energy-efficient strategies. • Conduct HVAC audits and monitor KPIs (COP, EER, RH control, system downtime).

What You'll Do

• Lead a team of HVAC engineers, supervisors, and technicians. • Coordinate with consultants, vendors, and OEMs for design reviews and execution plans. • Manage procurement, cost negotiation, and AMC/CMC contracts for HVAC-R systems.

• Prepare HVAC engineering deliverables, validation documentation, and audit reports. • Track project timelines, CAPEX vs. actuals, and commissioning milestones. • Report deviations, CAPAs, and root cause analysis for breakdowns.

Soft Skills Required

• Sound knowledge of HVAC-R systems, cleanroom design, psychrometry, and validation. • Proficient in AutoCAD, HAP, TRACE, Revit MEP, and MS Project. • Strong leadership and cross-functional coordination skills. • Deep understanding of pharma regulations, energy audits, and safety norms.
