## Context

A Lead Mechanical Engineer -Section 3 Greenline from Nubaria Station to Elhamam
station 

## Missions/Main Duties

To lead the mechanical engineering discipline by ensuring that all designs,
materials, and installations meet rigorous technical and regulatory standards.
You will act as the client’s technical authority, bridging the gap between
design intent and field execution—verifying that shop drawings align with
specifications and that on-site construction work is executed correctly, safely,
and efficiently, particularly within the demanding environment of rail and
transit projects.

#### Main Duties & Responsibilities

**The day-to-day and project-based tasks:**

**Design Review & Compliance:** Lead the technical review of mechanical designs
(HVAC, plumbing, fire protection) developed by internal teams or external
consultants. Ensure all designs comply with project specifications, relevant
codes (IBC, IMC, UPC, ASHRAE), and rail-specific standards (e.g., NFPA 130).

 

**Shop Drawing & Submittal Approval:** Manage the thorough review and approval
of all mechanical shop drawings, product data, and material samples. Verify that
submitted materials and equipment conform to the contract documents and design
intent before fabrication or procurement begins.

 

**Site Works Inspection & Quality Control:** Conduct regular site visits and
inspections to monitor the progress and quality of mechanical installations.
Identify discrepancies, deficiencies, or non-conforming work, and issue clear
directives for corrective actions.

 

**Rail & Transit Specialization:** Apply deep domain expertise to oversee
mechanical systems for rail projects, addressing unique challenges such as
ventilation for tunnels and below-grade stations, smoke extraction systems,
platform pressurization, and the specific environmental control needs of rail
operations and equipment rooms.

 

**Construction Support & Issue Resolution:** Serve as the primary mechanical
point of contact during construction. Review and respond to Requests for
Information (RFIs) and troubleshoot complex field issues, providing practical
solutions that maintain design integrity without delaying project timelines.

 

**Technical Leadership:** Serve as the technical authority on mechanical
engineering, resolving complex engineering challenges and performing peer
reviews of design calculations, drawings, and specifications.

 

**Client & Stakeholder Communication:** Attend client meetings to present
mechanical designs, explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders,
and manage client expectations regarding system performance and cost.

## Profile/Skills

**Education:** Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (master’s degree
preferred).

 

**Licensure:** Professional Engineer (PE) license is required.

 

**Experience:** 8-10** years** of progressive experience in MEP consulting
engineering or a design-build firm, specifically focused on building systems.

 

**Rail Experience:** Demonstrated and significant experience working on 
**rail or transit projects** (e.g., commuter rail, light rail, subway, or
high-speed rail stations and facilities).

Systra is an equal opportunities company; this position is open to all
applicants.
