What does an MEP engineer do?
MEP engineers specialise in the mechanical, electrical, and public health systems that make infrastructure and buildings operational. Employed primarily in the rail and building services sectors, they are responsible for the design, coordination, and installation of systems such as HVAC, lighting, power distribution, water supply, and fire protection.
What is MEP engineering?
MEP engineering is the process of planning and managing the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems of a building. MEP engineers assist with decision making, cost estimation, building management and maintenance, and documentation. They provide the functional elements of a building which make it comfortable, and livable.
MEP engineers work closely with architects and structural engineers to deliver safe, efficient, and compliant systems. Familiarity with BIM platforms and software like AutoCAD MEP, Revit, and Navisworks is increasingly expected. This role is well suited to engineers who enjoy technical design work and coordination within multidisciplinary project teams.
