Job description

Tatu City is hiring a Mechanical Technical Engineer to lead the review and coordination of mechanical shop drawings and material submittals, ensuring full compliance with design specifications, codes, and standards. The role serves as the main technical liaison between contractors and design consultants, managing RFIs, verifying calculations, and reviewing method statements and inspection plans. It also involves maintaining accurate documentation and ensuring the construction team works with the latest approved mechanical drawings and records.

Key Responsibilities

Shop Drawing & Submittal Management :

  • Lead the detailed technical review of all mechanical shop drawings submitted by the contractor, including HVAC plant room layouts, ductwork and piping schematics, riser diagrams, fire protection layouts, and plumbing / drainage details.
  • Meticulously check shop drawings against design drawings (P&IDs, layouts) and specifications to ensure complete compliance with the design intent, equipment schedules, codes, and standards.
  • Manage the formal review and approval process for all mechanical material submittals, including datasheets for chillers, AHUs, pumps, fans, pipes, valves, and insulation.
  • Lead the coordination of mechanical shop drawings with structural (e.g., builder's work, penetrations) and architectural (e.g., ceiling voids, plant room access) submissions to proactively identify and resolve all interface clashes.

Technical Coordination & Information Control :

  • Manage the Request for Information (RFI) process for all mechanical matters. Ensure RFIs from the contractor are clear, coordinate with the design consultants for responses, and ensure timely resolution and distribution.
  • Act as the primary technical interface between the MEP design consultants and the contractor's technical team on all mechanical matters.
  • Review and provide expert commentary on contractor-proposed Method Statements and Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) for critical mechanical activities like heavy plant lifts, system flushing, and pressure testing.
  • Review contractor-submitted mechanical calculations (e.g., pump head, static pressure, pipe sizing) to verify compliance with the design.
  • Documentation & Reporting :

  • Maintain an organized and up-to-date register of all mechanical drawings, specifications, shop drawings, RFIs, and material submittals.
  • Ensure that the site construction team is always working with the latest, fully coordinated, and approved-for-construction versions of all mechanical documents.
  • Assist in the compilation of the final as-built drawings and records, ensuring they accurately reflect all mechanical changes and deviations.
  • Requirements
