Job Purpose:
The Design & Technical Director will lead and oversee the entire design lifecycle, technical engineering, and value engineering processes for TMG's mega-residential communities, commercial hubs, and luxury hospitality projects. This role serves as the critical bridge between conceptual architectural master plans and on-site physical execution, ensuring all engineering systems, structural designs, and infrastructural components are optimized for cost, safety, and world-class luxury standards.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with elite international architecture and master-planning firms (e.g., global firms used for SouthMED or Banan) to translate conceptual designs into technically viable construction blueprints.
- Ensure that all architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) designs align with TMG's premium brand identity and regional zoning laws.
- Integrate modern smart-city technologies, sustainable building practices, and eco-friendly infrastructure designs into new and existing mega-projects.
- Direct internal engineering teams to review, approve, and issue Shop Drawings and As-Built documentation, minimizing discrepancies before they reach the construction site.
- Oversee complex technical integrations for large-scale communities, including district cooling systems, smart grids, water treatment facilities, and advanced road networks.
- Lead comprehensive value engineering workshops to optimize project designs, reducing material and construction costs without sacrificing safety, aesthetics, or luxury standards.
- Work alongside the procurement team to establish strict technical specs for materials, fixtures, and systems. Evaluate technical bids submitted by contractors and suppliers.
- Partner with Project Directors and Construction Managers to resolve urgent technical issues on-site, ensuring zero delays in project handovers.
- Ensure all technical and engineering submissions fully comply with Egyptian building codes, civil defense standards, and environmental regulations.
Job Requirements & Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Civil Engineering, or Architectural Engineering from a reputable university. A Master's degree or professional certifications (e.g., PMP, LEED, or Egyptian Engineers Syndicate Consultant status) is highly preferred.
- Experience:
- Minimum of 15 to 20 years of experience in real estate development, construction, or top-tier engineering consultancies.
- At least 5 to 7 years in a senior leadership role (Director level or equivalent).
- Proven track record of managing large-scale gated communities, mixed-use developments, or luxury hospitality projects (e.g., 5-star hotels or branded residences) within Egypt or the GCC region.
- Technical Skills:
- Deep understanding of master planning, structural design, MEP coordination, and infrastructure engineering.
- Proficiency with advanced engineering software systems (BIM/Revit, AutoCAD, Primavera, and specialized design management tools).
- Soft Skills: Exceptional leadership, sharp negotiation skills, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to comfortably present technical concepts to C-level executives.
