• Manage the drawings related works to meet the project targets by regularly monitoring and reporting the progress of works.
• Prepare, modify and analyze Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Drainage Projects drawings by using software tools like AutoCAD, REVIT, BIM and Microstation.
• Closely coordinate with Design Manager, Estimation Engineers, Site Engineers and Project Managers for collection of inputs and review of drawings.
• Coordinate with Client drafting team in the case of any interface discussions or clarifications during various phases of the project.
• Collaborate with the ESCO team to incorporate energy-saving measures in the drawings related works.

Job Requirements
Qualifications

• Diploma in Mechanical / Electrical Engineering with 3 years experience in MEP project drawing preparation with software tools like AutoCAD, REVIT, BIM and Microstation.

or

• Technical Certificate courses in Mechanical / Electrical / Drafting fields with minimum 5 years experience in MEP project drawing preparation with software tools like AutoCAD, REVIT, BIM and Microstation.

Experience

• Minimum 3 years of experience in MEP projects drawings preparation works for residential and commercial towers and industrial buildings.
• Minimum 1 year of experience in MEP projects drawings preparation works for residential and commercial towers and industrial buildings in UAE or any other GCC countries.
• ESCO industry experience preferred.

• Creating Technical Drawings:

  • Developing detailed MEP drawings (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) based on the project specifications, requirements, and industry standards.
  • Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to create accurate blueprints for MEP systems, such as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, electrical wiring, and plumbing layouts.

• Collaborating with Engineers and Architects:

  • Working closely with MEP engineers, architects, and project managers to ensure the integration of MEP systems within the overall building design.
  • Understanding the requirements and specifications provided by engineers to translate them into clear and precise technical drawings.

• Revising and Updating Drawings:

  • Modifying drawings based on feedback, changes in design, or site-specific requirements.
  • Ensuring that drawings are kept up-to-date with changes during the design and construction phases of the project.

• Ensuring Compliance with Codes and Standards:

  • Ensuring that all MEP designs comply with local building codes, safety standards, and regulations.
  • Conducting research on applicable standards for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to guarantee accuracy and compliance.

• Providing Documentation:

  • Preparing and organizing documentation to accompany drawings, such as specifications, material lists, and installation instructions.
  • Producing construction drawings and other documents that can be used by contractors and construction teams for implementation.

• Preparing Coordination Drawings:

  • Creating detailed coordination drawings that show how different MEP systems (e.g., HVAC ducts, electrical wiring, plumbing pipes) fit together within a building's structure.
  • Coordinating with other trades to avoid conflicts during the construction process, ensuring systems are properly integrated.

• Participating in Site Visits (if required):

  • Sometimes, draughtsmen may visit the construction site to assess the progress of work or verify that installation is proceeding as per the plans.
  • Taking measurements or inspecting installations to ensure that the design is being implemented accurately.
