•    Perform heat load calculations, psychrometric analysis, and airflow distribution design for critical process areas.
•    Develop and review HVAC layouts, P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), and GA (General Arrangement) drawings.
•    Ensure proper selection of chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, fans, pumps, and dehumidification systems based on process requirements.
•    Design cleanroom HVAC systems, including airlocks, HEPA/ULPA filtration, pressure balancing, and air change rate calculations.
•    Optimize airflow distribution and humidity control for pharmaceutical, chemical, and FMCG manufacturing facilities.
•    Ensure HVAC system integration with fire safety, building management systems (BMS), and energy recovery systems.
2. Mechanical & Piping Design
•    Develop piping layouts, isometrics, and support structures using industry-standard tools.
•    Review P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) and GA (General Arrangement) drawings for equipment and piping.
•    Ensure proper pump, compressor, heat exchanger, and tank selection based on process requirements.
•    Coordinate with process, electrical, instrumentation, and civil engineers to ensure seamless design integration.
3. Project Execution & Field Support
•    Work closely with project teams to ensure timely execution of mechanical and piping designs.
•    Prepare BOQs (Bill of Quantities) and procurement specifications.
•    Provide on-site support during equipment installation, commissioning, and startup.
•    Assist in resolving field issues related to mechanical, HVAC and piping systems.
•    Conduct site surveys, as-built documentation, and design modifications as required.
•    Collaborate with fabrication and construction teams to resolve site-related issues.
•    Provide on-site technical support during HVAC system installation, testing, and commissioning.
•    Ensure compliance with HVAC design, safety, and quality standards during installation.
•    Conduct pre-commissioning and commissioning checks, including system validation, airflow balancing, and pressure testing.
•    Work closely with construction teams to review HVAC ducting, piping, and insulation installations for quality assurance.
•    Conduct as-built documentation and coordinate any design modifications required during construction
4. Compliance with Engineering Standards & Regulations
•    Ensure HVAC designs comply with ASHRAE, ISHRAE, SMACNA, NFPA, ISO, OSHA, USFDA, EU GMP, WHO GMP, and other regulatory requirements.
•    Develop and maintain engineering design calculations, HVAC specifications, and datasheets.
•    Conduct energy efficiency analysis and recommend improvements in HVAC performance.
•    Perform CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations for airflow and thermal distribution optimization.
•    Conduct risk assessment and failure mode analysis (FMEA) for HVAC critical systems.

5. Vendor Coordination & Support
•    Liaise with HVAC, equipment vendors, suppliers, and contractors to ensure compliance with project requirements.
•    Review vendor proposals, specifications, and technical documentation, providing feedback and approvals.
•    Conduct technical discussions and negotiations with vendors for the selection of HVAC equipment.
•    Participate in FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), SAT (Site Acceptance Testing), and third-party inspections.
•    Address and resolve vendor-related non-conformities or deviations from project specifications.
