Pre Graduate Engineer (UAE National)- Electrical or Mechanical

Egis Group is looking to bring in a Pre-Graduate Engineer who is an UAE National to join its Dubai team. The role sits within building services design for electrical or mechanical systems on major GCC developments, and it’s built as a two-year, structured development programme that helps UAE National engineers grow into future discipline leads through hands-on work, mentorship and ongoing professional development.

As a global player in architecture, consulting, construction engineering and mobility services, Egis operates in 100 countries with about 19,500 employees. In the Middle East, the group employs around 3,500 people across eight countries and has delivered more than 700 complex development projects. The firm is ranked among the top ten in the Middle East by ENR and is focused on sustainable development and long-term partnerships with governments, investors and developers.

The position is onsite in Dubai and targets UAE Nationals with Family Book only. It suits a candidate who is currently pursuing a final-year Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electrical & Electronics, or Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university, with a good command of English and working knowledge of AutoCAD and MS Office, Excel in particular.

Hands-on design life in a two-year bridge to leadership

In this role you’ll help deliver electrical or mechanical building services designs from concept through construction support on landmark GCC projects. You’ll work under a structured programme that blends practical design tasks with mentorship from senior engineers and ongoing professional development, so you gradually take on more responsibility as you grow toward Engineer-level work.

Day-to-day tasks revolve around practical design support and technical growth. You’ll prepare design calculations, equipment schedules and sizing checks using project templates and approved software; electrical work will feature load calculations, cable sizing and protection coordination, while mechanical work will cover HVAC loads, duct sizing and equipment selection. You’ll produce and annotate drawings, layouts and schematics and review BIM model outputs for the relevant discipline, then draft portions of design reports, basis-of-design narratives and specifications for review by experienced engineers.

Must-have requirements, and what helps you stand out

Here are the essential qualifications you’d need to be in the running:

• UAE National with Family Book only
• Currently pursuing a final-year Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electrical & Electronics, or Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university

Pay, benefits and practical details you can count on

Egis frames this opportunity as a structured graduate path with clear progression and strong support. You’ll receive mentoring from senior engineers and a defined route toward Engineer grade, plus funded professional development that includes institution membership and chartership support. The programme also gives you the chance to contribute to landmark GCC projects across sectors like mixed-use, hospitality, transport, leisure and data centres.
