Position Overview
The Mechanical Engineer at this Dubai residential high rise project is responsible for the end-to-end management of MEP works — from initial design study and BoQ review through to site execution, vendor coordination, quality and safety monitoring, and invoice certification. This active site role requires close coordination with Civil and Structural teams, finishing vendors, the central design team, and project management stakeholders — while maintaining SAP records, reviewing GFC drawings, suggesting MEP design enhancements, and supporting all tender and procurement activities. Strong negotiation skills, vendor database knowledge, a high level of integrity, and clear verbal and written communication are essential for success in this role.
Why This Role Matters: As Mechanical Engineer for MEP works on a Dubai residential high rise, your technical expertise and coordination skills directly determine whether the project’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are installed correctly, on schedule, to specification, and within budget. In Dubai’s competitive high rise construction market — where delivery timelines and quality standards are non-negotiable — your ability to review designs, manage vendors, read GFC drawings, and maintain quality and safety on site is the difference between a project that succeeds and one that falls behind. Your work shapes the buildings that define Dubai’s iconic skyline.
