Plumbing Design Engineer

Role Overview

• Design plumbing, drainage, supply, and distribution systems for luxury villas and boutique hotels, ensuring full compliance with local building codes and international standards.
• Lead spatial coordination with architectural and structural models, proactively resolving clashes and protecting design intent from early stages through to technical completion.
• Develop detailed drawings, specifications, and technical documentation using CAD and BIM tools, directing BIM modellers to ensure accuracy and consistency across deliverables.
• Collaborate with architects, interior designers, and engineers to integrate systems seamlessly without compromising spatial or aesthetic quality.
• Perform load calculations and system sizing to ensure optimal performance across all project conditions.
• Oversee equipment selection in alignment with project requirements, sustainability targets, and luxury standards.
• Review and approve deliverables from third-party designers, consultants, and surveyors, maintaining design integrity throughout.
• Contribute to value engineering discussions, balancing cost, quality, and performance without sacrificing the guest experience.

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Building Engineering with a focus on plumbing, drainage, pools, or storm drainage systems.
• 5–10 years of engineering design experience within a design consultancy or general contractor environment.
• Proven experience on low-rise residential and hospitality projects — private villas, boutique hotels, or resorts.
• Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage confidently with multidisciplinary teams and client representatives.
• Professional-level English, both written and verbal.
• Self-organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage deliverables independently in a remote setting.

Benefits

• Create immersive hospitality environments: design spaces that shape how guests feel, experience, and remember a destination.
• Work on highly bespoke projects: each property is uniquely developed around its location, identity, and guest journey.
• Collaborate beyond design: work alongside architecture, branding, landscape, and operational teams to create cohesive experiences.
• Influence guest experience through design: contribute to how spaces function emotionally as well as aesthetically.
• Exposure to luxury standards and materials: work with elevated design references, premium finishes, and globally inspired concepts.
