Job Description - Design Lead




1. Mechanical Modeling & Systems Delivery



• Oversee and execute high-precision BIM modeling for HVAC (ducting and piping), plumbing, fire protection, and plant piping systems.



• Translate mechanical equipment schedules, P&IDs, and schematic designs into data-rich, parametric 3D models and synchronized fabrication/spool drawings.



• Select, configure, and manage intelligent mechanical component families, ensuring accurate dimensional properties and embedded engineering data.



2. Mentorship & Quality Engineering



• Serve as the primary technical anchor and mentor for mechanical modelers and junior designers, fostering a culture of technical rigor.



• Establish stringent internal peer-review mechanisms to audits models for engineering logic, serviceability, and maintenance clearance.



• Upskill the team on complex mechanical concepts, routing optimization techniques, and advanced BIM toolsets.



3. Advanced Coordination & Value Engineering



• Actively lead multidisciplinary clash detection and resolution workflows, collaborating seamlessly with Structural, Architectural, and Electrical teams to achieve a fully coordinated, zero-clash model.



• Perform spatial optimization to ensure mechanical equipment rooms and riser layouts maximize space, minimize pressure drops, and guarantee maintenance accessibility.



• Support value engineering efforts by optimizing material takeoffs (MTOs) and routing efficiency to reduce material waste and fabrication costs.



 



4. Compliance, Codes & Fabrication Standards



• Ensure all mechanical layouts strictly adhere to regional and international engineering codes (e.g., ASHRAE, SMACNA, NFPA, IPC, and local building regulations).



• Maintain deep alignment with fabrication standards (LOD 400/500), ensuring models are instantly ready for manufacturing, pre-fabrication, and spooling.


Requirements



Leadership & Mindset:



• Constructability Focus: An engineering mindset that prioritizes how a system will actually be installed, operated, and maintained in the physical building.



• Radical Ownership: A relentless drive to flag spatial anomalies and drive cross-departmental alignment early in the design cycle.



• Analytical Communication: Ability to clearly articulate spatial conflicts and engineering trade-offs to clients, project managers, and internal cross-functional teams.
