Senior Principal MEP Engineer (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) for vertical assets (hospitality + mix-use offices)

Integration of modern MEP systems into constrained brownfield sites with legacy utilities and adjacent heritage assets.
Utility diversion and upgrade expertise: substation relocation, and stormwater retrofits in dense urban cores.
Design for adaptive reuse of heritage buildings with modern HVAC, electrical, and plumbing while respecting fabric integrity
Advanced HVAC solutions for Riyadh’s arid climate: high-efficiency chillers, DOAS, displacement ventilation, and hybrid systems.
Expertise in vertical transportation systems (lifts, escalators) integrated with TOD nodes.
Coordination of mix-use cores (hospitality, offices, retail) with distinct but interconnected MEP demands.
Fire & life safety engineering: smoke extraction, fire suppression, and evacuation systems tailored to high-rise mix-use codes.
Design of smart mobility infrastructure (EV charging, micromobility docking, autonomous shuttle readiness).
Energy modeling & optimization: net-zero-ready MEP design, renewable integration (solar PV, greywater reuse).
Water stewardship in arid contexts: low-flow fixtures, greywater recycling, district water management.
Experience with carbon footprint assessment of MEP systems across lifecycle.
BIM-MEP proficiency (Revit MEP, Navisworks Manage, Dynamo for MEP workflows).
Use of CFD modeling for airflow, smoke control, and microclimate comfort.
Familiarity with energy simulation platforms (IESVE, DesignBuilder, EnergyPlus).
Capability in GIS integration for infrastructure mapping in complex brownfield sites.
Oversight of MEP system installation sequencing in tight heritage-adjacent environments.
Strong knowledge of prefabricated / modular MEP systems for high-rise construction.
Experience with commissioning, retro-commissioning, and facility handover for large-scale hospitality and office towers.
Value engineering without compromising heritage and TOD requirements.

15–20 years professional experience in MEP design and delivery for hospitality and mix-use vertical assets.

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical / Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or MEP Engineering.
Chartered Engineer (CIBSE, ASHRAE, IEEE, or equivalent)
Proven expertise in brownfield urban regeneration projects, ideally in the GCC region.
Demonstrated success integrating heritage-sensitive MEP retrofits with modern high-rise systems.
