IHRE AUFGABEN
Engineering Design, Systems Integration, and Development
- Lead and coordinate the integrated development of mechanical systems, ensuring alignment between mechanical, structural, and
electrical/control disciplines.
- Define mechanical system concepts, requirements, and performance criteria, coordinating detailed design development through
internal teams and external engineering partners.
- Define mechanical interface requirements and coordinate with civil and structural engineers regarding loads, tolerances,
deflections, connection details, and installation constraints.
- Evaluate mechanical designs against performance, safety, maintainability, and constructability requirements.
- Review, technically verify, and validate supplier and external partner designs, calculations, and shop drawings for compliance
with project requirements, interfaces, and constructability.
- Act as the mechanical lead within project teams, providing guidance and technical direction.
- Coordinate mechanical activities across internal disciplines and external partners.
- Support the gradual build-up of an internal mechanical engineering capability, subject to workload and project pipeline.
- Contribute to defining future workflows, role profiles, and interface standards for mechanical engineering.
External Engineering & Supplier Coordination
- Define mechanical system scopes, interfaces, deliverables, and performance requirements for outsourced engineering partners and
suppliers.
- Identify, evaluate, and recommend suitable external engineering offices, manufacturers, and technology partners.
- Technically steer and coordinate external partners to ensure timely, compliant, and integrated design delivery.
- Review, challenge, and verify externally produced calculations, drawings, and specifications.
- Ensure all externally developed mechanical content is fully coordinated with architectural, structural, and electrical
documentation.
Collaboration and Coordination
- Coordinate closely with structural, electrical, and automation teams to ensure all systems function as one integrated solution.
- Manage interfaces with electrical and control systems, including automation, sensors, limit switches, safety interlocks, power
supply, and cabling routes.
- Act as the main technical point of contact for mechanical system integration with internal teams, clients, and external
stakeholders.
- Coordinate with suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors, addressing technical queries (RFIs), design changes, and interface
issues.
- Act as the primary mechanical systems interface between internal disciplines and external engineering partners.
Installation Supervision and Site Support
- Provide technical oversight and coordination of mechanical installation and assembly activities, ensuring adherence to approved
designs, method statements, and safety requirements.
- Support preparation and review of lifting plans, installation sequences, and alignment and tolerance verification procedures.
- Perform QA/QC inspections, monitor workmanship quality, and manage punch lists and corrective actions.
- Coordinate contractors and site teams to ensure installation activities are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance
with project schedules.
Commissioning, Testing, and Handover
- Support commissioning activities, including functional testing, load testing (where applicable), and safety validation of
movable systems in coordination with suppliers and specialist partners.
- Ensure proper documentation of test results, approvals, and compliance checks.
- Prepare and review handover documentation, including operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, and training
materials.
- Support client and operator training during handover phases.
Quality Assurance, Compliance, and Reporting
- Ensure all mechanical systems comply with applicable standards, regulations, safety requirements, and client specifications.
- Produce clear and structured technical documentation and reports for internal teams and clients.
- Maintain traceability of design decisions, changes, and approvals throughout the project lifecycle.
IHR PROFIL
Required Skills and Experience
- Solid mechanical engineering fundamentals with practical understanding of moving structures, drives, and electromechanical
systems.
- Proven ability to coordinate, integrate, and technically validate mechanical systems delivered by external specialists.
- Proven site experience supervising installation and assembly works, including contractor coordination and quality control.
- Ability to assess mechanical designs with respect to performance, safety, maintainability, and constructability.
- Strong communication skills and ability to produce clear technical documentation and reports.
- Confidence in reviewing, questioning, and verifying third-party engineering outputs without being the primary specialist
designer.
Preferred / Nice to Have
- Experience with retractable roofs, movable bridges, large doors or gates, cranes and hoists, automated industrial systems, or
similar heavy mechanical installations.
- Knowledge of automation and control system integration, including PLC concepts, sensors, interlocks, and fail-safe design
principles.
- Familiarity with relevant engineering standards and safety practices, including machine safety, lifting and rigging
coordination, and QA/QC processes.
- Arabic and/or English proficiency, with the ability to work in international project environments and with global suppliers.
Typical Professional Education / Certifications
- BSc or MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering with a strong mechanical focus.
- Preferred: specialization or proven experience in machine design, mechatronics integration, heavy machinery, or
structural–mechanical interfaces.
Typical Additional Certifications (Optional but Valuable)
- Project leadership or project management training (PM fundamentals; PMP or PRINCE2 beneficial for senior roles).
- Machine safety or functional safety awareness (e.g., risk assessment, interlocks; TÜV or IEC-related exposure advantageous
where applicable).
- Site supervision or construction safety (HSE) certification.
- Vendor or industry training related to drives, hydraulics, gearboxes, bearings, and automation systems.
