Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer Public Health and Fire Fighting Systems

Role Overview:

Engineering role supporting design review and peer review for public health

(plumbing/drainage) and fire fighting systems in complex building developments. The role

also requires capability to review gas and fuel systems within plot/super-plot boundaries.

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent).

Minimum 7 years of experience in Public Health and Fire Fighting building services.

Proven involvement in design and/or peer review of building projects within Saudi Arabia.

Ability to review LPG/SNG gas networks and fuel systems (within plot/super-plot limits),

where applicable.

Key Responsibilities:

Review plumbing and drainage designs (water supply, boosters, hot water systems,

drainage/venting, pumping, etc.).

Review fire fighting designs (sprinklers, hydrants, fire pumps, tanks, standpipes, special

hazards where applicable).

Verify compliance with Saudi requirements (e.g., Civil Defense) and applicable international

standards (e.g., NFPA) as required by the project.

Assess hydraulic calculations, system zoning, equipment sizing, and critical interfaces with

architectural/structural design.

Review LPG/SNG and fuel system layouts, safety requirements, and integration with

plot/super-plot constraints.

Issue clear peer review comments, track close-out responses, and highlight design risks and

life-safety concerns.

Screening Notes (Important):

Building design background is essential (site supervision / O&M-heavy profiles are not

preferred).

Experience should demonstrate hands-on design deliverables and/or formal design review

/ peer review participation.

Large, complex building developments exposure is required (mixed-use, hospitality,

commercial, residential, cultural, iconic).

Local Saudi Arabia experience is strongly required (codes, authority interfaces, and market

practices).

Profiles must demonstrate building fire protection design/review experiencenot only

inspection or site execution.

For gas/fuel exposure: provide project examples where gas/fuel systems were

reviewed/designed (scope, responsibilities, standards used).
