Mechanical Engineer

Job Description We are looking for a hands-on ACMV Engineer with experience in Design & Build, construction or M&E engineering companies . The role covers the full ACMV project cycle , from site survey and design development to site execution, testing & commissioning and handover. The successful candidate must be comfortable working both in the office and on site . He/She will be responsible for ensuring that the ACMV design is accurate, practical, buildable and properly executed on site , and will be expected to attend to design and technical issues throughout the project. Key Responsibilities Site Survey & Design • Conduct detailed site surveys and take accurate site measurements before commencing design works. • Verify existing site conditions, dimensions, levels, services and other site constraints that may affect the ACMV design. • Develop ACMV designs that are practical, coordinated and executable on site . • Prepare shop drawings using AutoCAD and actively follow up on client or consultants' comments, revisions and design changes. • Prepare design reports, engineering calculations and cost estimates. • Coordinate ACMV designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and other M&E services to minimise clashes and site issues. Site Execution & Coordination • Regularly attend site to monitor and coordinate ACMV works and ensure that installation is carried out in accordance with the approved design and drawings. • Work closely with Project Managers, site teams, subcontractors, consultants and other trades to resolve ACMV-related issues. • Attend project, safety and site coordination meetings. • Check actual site conditions and measurements against the design and make necessary adjustments where required. • Ensure that the design can be practically executed within the available site space and existing conditions. • Identify potential constructability issues early and propose practical engineering solutions. • Provide technical support and clarification to the site team during installation. • Follow up on project progress and provide timely reporting to the Project Manager. Troubleshooting & Problem Solving • Attend to design discrepancies, site constraints and technical problems relating to ACMV works. • Investigate and rectify design issues that arise during installation. • Propose design modifications or alternative solutions where the original design cannot be executed as intended. • Resolve ACMV coordination issues and minimise delays, rework and abortive works. • Carry out basic troubleshooting of ACMV systems and assist with rectification works where required. Testing, Commissioning & Handover • Coordinate and carry out testing & commissioning of ACMV systems. • Follow up on defects, rectification works and outstanding ACMV issues during project completion and the Defects Liability Period (DLP) . • Prepare O&M manuals, as-built drawings and other handover documentation. • Conduct system training for clients/end users where required. Requirements • Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering / Air-Conditioning & Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) Engineering or a related discipline. • Minimum 3 years of relevant local Singapore experience in ACMV design and project execution. • Strong hands-on experience in ACMV systems , including ducting, piping and piping/structural supports. • Experience in Design & Build, construction or M&E engineering companies is preferred. • Proficient in AutoCAD and able to independently prepare and amend ACMV shop drawings. • Able to conduct site surveys and obtain/verify accurate measurements independently. • Good understanding of ACMV installation, coordination, testing & commissioning and site requirements. • Able to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications and site conditions. • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate design requirements into practical site solutions . • Willing and able to spend significant time on site when required. • Able to work independently and take ownership of ACMV-related design and site matters. • Good communication and coordination skills with consultants, subcontractors and internal project teams. • Target-oriented and able to work effectively in a fast-paced project environment. What We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who is more than a design engineer . The ideal candidate is someone who can: Survey the site → take accurate measurements → design → produce shop drawings → coordinate with other trades → ensure the design is buildable → support site execution → solve design/site problems → test & commission → hand over the project.
