Mechanical Engineer

Job Summary

As an HVAC Planning Engineer at Telecom Egypt, you will serve as the strategic planner responsible for managing, scheduling, and upgrading the critical cooling infrastructure that supports the telecommunications network. Unlike standard commercial HVAC roles, this position is vital to network security, as it ensures uninterrupted cooling for data centers, telecom rooms, and mobile stations.

Key Responsibilities

• Planning advanced precision cooling systems for massive telecom rooms, power and battery rooms.
• Planning to equip telecom switching rooms (central offices) and equipment shelters with reliable, redundant CRAC units (typically featuring an N+1 Redundancy setup) to ensure cooling never stops.
• Preparation and Development of Technical Specifications, Updating and Technological Advancement,
• Conducting value engineering studies to achieve the optimal balance between operational efficiency and capital cost. - Coordinating continuously with other engineering disciplines (electrical, firefighting, architectural, and structural) to ensure proper integration of HVAC routes and equipment.
• Reviewing technical specifications such as selection data sheets, CFD and rooms CAD design and procurement schedules with major global suppliers (such as Stulz, Vertiv, and Schneider) to ensure equipment meets international data center standards (such as ASHRAE) guidelines.
• Reviewing and evaluating technical submittals and proposals from suppliers and contractors to ensure compliance with project requirements. - Analyzing proposed equipment alternatives and providing technical and financial recommendations for approval.
• Coordinating constantly with the Power and Electrical Infrastructure sector to verify that backup generators and power loads can support the HVAC systems, and with the Network sector to track which sites are adding servers and require extra cooling.
• Drafting detailed technical specifications and bidding documents for HVAC equipment such as chillers, AHUs, FCUs, VRF systems, and ductwork. - Ensuring specifications comply with recognized global codes and standards (ASHRAE, AHRI, SMACNA, ISO).

Qualifications To excel in this role, you should have:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering (Power, HVAC, or a related discipline).
• 3- 5 years of relevant experience; fresh graduates may be considered.
• Basic knowledge of HVAC, refrigeration, pumps, piping, and mechanical equipment.
• Ability to read mechanical drawings and technical specifications.
• Good analytical, communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills.
