Prior experience leading design tasks or supervising junior engineers is preferred. Experience across various project types (commercial, residential, hospitality, mixed-use, or infrastructure) is preferred. Required Technical Skills Expert-level knowledge of Autodesk Revit MEP and Navisworks Manage for ELV modeling, coordination, and clash detection. Strong working knowledge of Auto CAD for legacy or supplementary drawing needs. Solid understanding of UAE and KSA local codes, telecom/civil defense authority approval processes, and regional ELV design standards. Working knowledge of structured cabling standards (e.g., TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC), CCTV/security system design, and BMS/building automation principles.
