Responsibilities
Lead station HVAC & ventilation design (underground, at-grade, elevated): cooling/heating load estimates, plant sizing (chilled water/DX/VRF), AHU/FAHU/FCU selection, filtration strategy (sand/dust), ventilation/pressurization of platforms, concourses, back-of-house and plantrooms.
Engineer smoke control & TVS: fan, shaft and damper sizing/arrangement; platform & concourse smoke layer management; stair & lift lobby pressurization; PSD heat load coordination; emergency modes and control logic.
Technical room cooling & resilience: N+1 redundancy and environmental control for S&T/relay/SCADA/UPS rooms, communications and data spaces; thermal runaway risk checks and alarm set-points.
High-ambient design: equipment derating, coil selections, corrosion mitigation, airside economizer feasibility, sand-ingress protection, acoustic and indoor air-quality criteria.
Digital delivery: Revit/AutoCAD & Navisworks BIM coordination, clash prevention, interface matrices; structured model reviews and info-exchange (BEP compliance).
Calculations & deliverables: Basis-of-Design, detailed calcs, P&IDs/schematics, control sequences, layouts/sections/details, equipment schedules, specifications/BOQs, performance ERs.
Analysis & verification: CFD/FDS for smoke and comfort, SES or equivalent for tunnel/station ventilation where applicable; egress and fire strategy interface workshops.
Approvals & stakeholders: manage KSA authority submissions; lead multidisciplinary design reviews; run value engineering and risk registers.
Construction support: respond to RFIs, review vendor submittals, witness FAT/SAT, support T&C and seasonal commissioning.

Proven expertise in:
Station HVAC, ventilation and smoke control/pressurization to NFPA/EN standards.
Cooling of critical technical rooms with resilience (N+1, duty/standby).
Writing control philosophies/sequences and BMS/SCADA integration.
BIM coordination (Revit/Navisworks) and production of IFC-ready deliverables.
Tools: HAP/IES/TRACE (or equivalent), CFD/FDS, SES (or similar), MS Office.
Strong stakeholder skills and the ability to lead workshops with client, operator, and authorities.
Nice to Have
District cooling interface design; energy modelling/optimization for high-ambient climates.
