How you can shape the built environment in a mechanical engineering job in Egypt

Mechanical engineers in Egypt have a crucial role to play in shaping the nation's ever-evolving built environment. Cairo's population has grown by 450,300 in the past year alone, and engineering excellence is key to supporting the spaces where millions of people live and work every day. 

With the Egypt Vision 2030 initiative driving economic and infrastructural growth, the demand for skilled mechanical engineers continues to rise. As Egypt's construction sector is projected to grow by 7.6% annually between 2025 and 2028, this demand isn't set to slow down any time soon. Sustainable development is high on the agenda, and mechanical engineers design the solutions that reduce emissions and lower energy costs. 

With over 40 years of heritage in Africa, our professionals work on projects with impact. Here, we dig deeper into the role of mechanical engineers in Egypt and how they're helping to create more sustainable infrastructure. 

The role of mechanical engineers in the built environment 

Mechanical engineers are essential to the success of Egypt's urban development projects. The rapid growth of the built environment can throw up some unique challenges, particularly when it comes to sustainability. The work of our mechanical engineers tackles these challenges head on

The role of a mechanical engineer is critical in designing systems that enhance energy efficiency, improve transportation networks, and support the country's sustainability goals of engineering net zero. Some of the ways they contribute to this include:

• Smart water management - With water scarcity a pressing issue, engineers are developing advanced desalination plants and recycling systems. 

• Eco-friendly construction methods - Our mechanical engineers integrate green building principles and materials, renewable energy sources, and energy-efficient technologies into our major projects. 

• Urban mobility solutions - Mechanical engineers are helping to modernise public transport in an effort to combat the cost and inconvenience of Cairo's traffic congestion. 

• Energy-efficient HVAC systems - HVAC systems, short for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, can significantly lower emissions and costs.
