MEPCO is a leading building services engineering consultancy specializing in high-end mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design. Recently, MEPCO joined Ethos, a global engineering consultancy known for innovation, sustainable design, and digital engineering delivery. Together, we combine top-tier local engineering talent with global reach, delivering complex infrastructure projects across Europe.
As a Senior Fire Protection / Sprinkler Design Engineer at MEPCO (now part of Ethos), you will play a key technical leadership role in delivering high-performance, automatic fire suppression systems for complex, large-scale international projects across Europe. You will focus on mission-critical facilities such as data centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, and heavy industrial developments.
Working within a multidisciplinary environment, you will lead the fire sprinkler design process from concept through to fabrication-ready BIM models (LOD 400). You will combine deep hydraulic calculation expertise with advanced BIM modeling, prefabrication workflows, and international fire safety standards.
