Job Description
The MEP Network Engineer is a specialist role focused on the interface between external utility networks and the internal MEP systems of residential buildings within a large-scale, phased Design & Build development on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The role is embedded within the utilities team and is responsible for reviewing and verifying MEP design deliverables produced by the appointed design consultant — specifically where building MEP systems connect to, receive from, or depend on the external utility networks overseen by the Senior Utilities Network Engineer.
This is not a standalone building MEP role. The primary focus is on ensuring that internal MEP systems — plumbing, internal electrical distribution, mechanical connections, and fire fighting provisions — are correctly designed to interface with and receive from external utility feeds (potable water, irrigation, LV power, and telecoms). The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Utilities Network Engineer to ensure seamless integration between external utility networks and building-level MEP systems across all project phases.
Key Responsibilities
- Review internal plumbing and sanitary designs to verify correct connection, sizing, and pressure compatibility with the external potable water network supplied by ADDC.
- Check internal cold and hot water distribution systems, booster pump provisions, and storage tank sizing relative to external water supply parameters.
- Review internal irrigation distribution connections and verify alignment with the external irrigation network design.
- Assess internal LV electrical distribution designs including DB layouts, cable sizing, and metering arrangements to confirm correct connection to the external ADDC LV network.
- Review internal earthing, bonding, and lightning protection designs for compliance with ADDC and authority requirements.
- Check fire fighting system designs — sprinkler networks, hydrant connections, and FM200 provisions — and verify correct connection to the external potable water supply and fire authority requirements.
- Review mechanical connection provisions including any building-level pumping, pressurisation, or booster systems tied to external utility feeds.
- Verify that MEP system designs at building level are fully coordinated with external utility network capacities, pressures, and connection points as established by the Senior Utilities Network Engineer.
- Identify design deficiencies or interface mismatches and prepare draft technical review comments for consultant response and close-out.
- Maintain and update the MEP design submission register and review comment tracker.
Coordination & Integration
- Work closely with the Senior Utilities Network Engineer to ensure building MEP systems are correctly sized and specified relative to external utility network parameters.
- Flag any discrepancies between external utility network designs and internal MEP connection requirements for resolution by the consultant.
- Coordinate with the design consultant’s MEP and utilities discipline leads to resolve interface issues between external and internal systems.
- Support BIM/3D coordination reviews to verify clash‑free integration of MEP systems with structural and architectural elements at the building level.
Authority & Compliance
- Support the preparation of MEP‑related packages for submission to ADDC, ADSSC, Civil Defence, DM, TASAREEH, and other relevant Abu Dhabi authorities.
- Assist in tracking authority comments on MEP submissions and coordinating consultant responses for NOC and approval processes.
- Maintain working knowledge of Abu Dhabi MEP codes, ADDC connection standards,…
