MEP Design Engineer

About Us
We are revolutionising construction through Modular Building Technology (MBT) — where factory-born precision meets the simplicity of LEGO-like on-site assembly. Our mission is to create intuitive, resilient, scalable spaces built with the speed and clarity of a product, not a traditional project.
We operate with an Intense & Scrappy mindset, believe Scale is Magic, and live by the principle: Nothing is someone else’s problem. Every system we build, and every module we ship, is rooted in our MBT Focus: Make Something People Love.
The Role: Design MEP That Fits the Module, the Factory & the Site
This is not a drafting role. This is an engineering role responsible for ensuring that:
Every Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC and Fire Protection (FPS) system is backed by sound design calculations
Designs comply with the applicable Indian codes and client specifications
MEP services are integrated into modules in the factory, not chased through walls at site
Module-to-module service connections are simple, standard and quick to install
Designs are cost-effective, buildable and ready for procurement
You will be the person who turns building requirements into calculated, coordinated, factory-ready MEP designs.
Key Responsibilities1. Electrical Design
Prepare connected and demand load calculations, and size transformers, DG sets, UPS and panels.
Carry out cable sizing (current capacity, voltage drop, short-circuit) and select protection devices (MCB, MCCB, RCCB/ELCB) with discrimination.
Design lighting systems with lux-level calculations, and power and small-power layouts.
Design earthing systems and lightning protection with risk assessment and calculations.
Prepare single-line diagrams (SLDs), panel schedules, and raceway and conduit layouts.
2. Plumbing & Public Health Design
Calculate water demand, and size underground and overhead tanks and pumps.
Size water supply pipes using fixture-unit methods and pressure/head-loss calculations.
Design drainage and sewerage systems with pipe sizing, slopes and venting.
Design stormwater drainage and rainwater harvesting systems.
Size hot-water systems, STPs or septic tanks where the project requires them.
3. HVAC Design
Carry out heat-load calculations (E-20 or software-based) for all conditioned spaces.
Select equipment such as split, VRF/VRV, ductable and package units, along with ventilation and exhaust systems.
Design ducts with sizing, static pressure calculations, and diffuser and grille selection.
Size refrigerant and condensate drain piping.
Calculate fresh-air and ventilation rates for kitchens, toilets, mess halls and other occupied spaces.
4. Fire Protection Systems (FPS) Design
Classify occupancy and work out FPS requirements in line with NBC 2016 Part 4 and local fire authority norms.
Design hydrant and sprinkler systems with hydraulic calculations, and size pumps (main, jockey, diesel).
Size fire water storage tanks.
Design fire detection and alarm systems with detector layouts and panel zoning.
Plan portable extinguisher layouts and prepare fire NOC drawings where required.
5. Modular Integration & Coordination
Design MEP routing for factory pre-installation inside wall panels, floors, ceilings and volumetric pods.
Standardise module-to-module and module-to-site service connections (plug-and-play wherever possible).
Coordinate with structural, architectural and BIM teams, and resolve clashes in the 3D model before factory release.
Fix penetration and opening details with the structural team before production begins.
6. Documentation, BOQ & Client Approvals
Prepare design basis reports, calculation sheets, GFC drawings and equipment schedules.
Prepare MEP quantities, BOQ inputs and technical specifications for procurement.
Prepare technical submittals and vendor drawing reviews for client and PMC approvals (e.g., NBCC, CPWD).
Support factory and site teams with RFIs, installation details, testing and commissioning checklists.
Required Skills & ExperienceCodes & Standards
NBC 2016 (Parts 4, 8 and 9), IS 732, IS 3043, IS 1172, IS 2065, IS 1742, IS 15105 and IS 2189
ECBC, ISHRAE and ASHRAE guidelines, CPWD General Specifications for Electrical and E&M works
Working knowledge of TAC norms and local fire authority requirements
Software & Tools
AutoCAD (MEP layouts and schematics) — mandatory
Revit MEP or a similar BIM tool for modelling and clash detection
Calculation tools: DIALux / Relux (lighting), HAP or similar (heat load), Excel-based calculation sheets
Navisworks for coordination (preferred)
Experience
3–7 years in MEP design for buildings, with hands-on design calculations across at least three of the four disciplines
Experience in modular, prefab, PEB or factory-built construction is a strong advantage
Experience with government / PSU projects and client technical approvals is preferred
Education
B.E./B.Tech in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering
An M.E./M.Tech in Building Services or HVAC, or a certification in MEP / fire engineering, is a plus
Mindset & Personality
Calculation-first: every pipe, cable, duct and pump size is backed by a number.
Factory thinker: you design services to be installed once, in the factory, and connected in minutes at site.
High agency: you resolve clashes in the model, not at site.
“Nothing is someone else’s problem” — you own your system through approval, installation and commissioning.
Clear communicator with clients, consultants, vendors and site teams.
Values Alignment (Mandatory)
You must resonate deeply with our values:
Scale is Magic
Intense & Scrappy
Make Something People Love
Nothing is Someone Else’s Problem
Think Like a Factory; Build Like LEGO
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
High Impact Role: Your designs go straight into modules that ship across India.
Multi-Discipline Exposure: Own Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC and FPS together — not one narrow slice.
Cutting-Edge Environment: Work on BIM-driven, factory-built buildings for institutional and infrastructure clients.
Growth: Grow into an MEP lead in India’s scaling modular industry.
