MEP Mechanical Engineer Senior -Section 4

SYSTRA

The day-to-day and project-based tasks:

• Design Review & Compliance: Lead the technical review of mechanical designs (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection) developed by internal teams or external consultants. Ensure all designs comply with project specifications, relevant codes (IBC, IMC, UPC, ASHRAE), and rail-specific standards (e.g., NFPA 130).

• Shop Drawing & Submittal Approval: Manage the thorough review and approval of all mechanical shop drawings, product data, and material samples. Verify that submitted materials and equipment conform to the contract documents and design intent before fabrication or procurement begins.

• Site Works Inspection & Quality Control: Conduct regular site visits and inspections to monitor the progress and quality of mechanical installations. Identify discrepancies, deficiencies, or non-conforming work, and issue clear directives for corrective actions.

• Rail & Transit Specialization: Apply deep domain expertise to oversee mechanical systems for rail projects, addressing unique challenges such as ventilation for tunnels and below-grade stations, smoke extraction systems, platform pressurization, and the specific environmental control needs of rail operations and equipment rooms.

• Construction Support & Issue Resolution: Serve as the primary mechanical point of contact during construction. Review and respond to Requests for Information (RFIs) and troubleshoot complex field issues, providing practical solutions that maintain design integrity without delaying project timelines.

• Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical authority on mechanical engineering, resolving complex engineering challenges and performing peer reviews of design calculations, drawings, and specifications.

• Client & Stakeholder Communication: Attend client meetings to present mechanical designs, explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and manage client expectations regarding system performance and cost.
