About

About The Company Utopia is an ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand creating a global ecosystem of properties and experiences. We develop private villa retreats in beautiful locations around the world, each with high‑end service. Utopia also offers a wider ecosystem of leisure experiences and services available both to those staying on property and to external visitors.
Utopia designs and builds its properties in‑house. Our team works across the full journey: from concept and architecture to construction, interiors, landscape, guest experience, and long‑term operation. For architects and designers, this means working on properties from the ground up, with the ability to influence how each place is planned, built, and experienced. For hospitality professionals, it means joining a brand where service is personal, attentive, and built around each guest’s stay.
We’re a young, ambitious team with high standards and a hands‑on approach. We value strong ideas, practical thinking, attention to detail, and people who are ready to take responsibility for their part of the work. If you’re interested in architecture, design, hospitality, or guest experience, we invite you to grow with Utopia.
About The Role We're looking for an experienced Plumbing Design Engineer to lead the design of engineering systems across a portfolio of luxury villas and boutique hotels worldwide. You will report to the MEP Design Manager and collaborate daily with architects, interior designers, structural engineers, and client representatives to deliver technically precise, aesthetically integrated solutions. This role exists to ensure that every system we design meets the functional performance and experiential standards our properties demand.
Location & Collaboration Format
This is a fully remote position.
Utopia does not provide visa sponsorship or a relocation package for this position.
Responsibilities
Design plumbing, drainage, supply, and distribution systems for luxury villas and boutique hotels, ensuring full compliance with local building codes and international standards.
Lead spatial coordination with architectural and structural models, proactively resolving clashes and protecting design intent from early stages through to technical completion.
Develop detailed drawings, specifications, and technical documentation using CAD and BIM tools, directing BIM modellers to ensure accuracy and consistency across deliverables.
Collaborate with architects, interior designers, and engineers to integrate systems seamlessly without compromising spatial or aesthetic quality.
Perform load calculations and system sizing to ensure optimal performance across all project conditions.
Oversee equipment selection in alignment with project requirements, sustainability targets, and luxury standards.
Review and approve deliverables from third‑party designers, consultants, and surveyors, maintaining design integrity throughout.
Contribute to value engineering discussions, balancing cost, quality, and performance without sacrificing the guest experience.
Requirements
Degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Building Engineering with a focus on plumbing, drainage, pools, or storm drainage systems.
5–10 years of engineering design experience within a design consultancy or general contractor environment.
Proven experience on low‑rise residential and hospitality projects — private villas, boutique hotels, or resorts.
Proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD.
Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage confidently with multidisciplinary teams and client representatives.
Professional‑level English, both written and verbal.
Self‑organized and detail‑oriented, with the ability to manage deliverables independently in a remote setting.
Benefits
Create immersive hospitality environments: design spaces that shape how guests feel, experience, and remember a destination.
Work on highly bespoke projects: each property is uniquely developed around its location, identity, and guest journey.
Collaborate beyond design: work alongside architecture, branding, landscape, and operational teams to create cohesive experiences.
Influence guest experience through design: contribute to how spaces function emotionally as well as aesthetically.
Exposure to luxury standards and materials: work with elevated design references, premium finishes, and globally inspired concepts.
By submitting this application, I agree that my personal data will be collected, processed, and retained by the company solely for the purposes of managing and assessing my candidacy.
