The Green Engineer Transforming Luxury Hospitality in Dubai.
With eighteen years of distinguished engineering leadership in the hospitality industry, Sachin Kamat has been honored in Hozpitality's prestigious Best 30 Engineering Leaders Powerlist for 2025. As Director of Engineering at Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights, Kamat has redefined sustainable luxury through innovative engineering solutions that balance environmental responsibility with uncompromising guest experiences.
Kamat's six-year tenure at the property has been marked by groundbreaking sustainability initiatives that have become case studies for the region. His leadership of the hotel's Green Team Committee has yielded extraordinary results, from achieving 95% LED lighting coverage to pioneering a food waste biodigester that processes 15 tons monthly, preventing 180 tons of landfill waste annually. The property's Silver-tier DST Stamp 2024 award reflects his vision of hospitality that thrives in harmony with its environment.
What sets Kamat apart is his ability to translate sustainability into both ecological and financial benefits. The Chilled Water Optimization Project he spearheaded delivers annual energy savings of 675,000 kWh (AED 300,000), while his Grey Water Treatment System recycles 7.5 million imperial gallons yearly, reducing water consumption by 25% and saving AED 500,000. These achievements demonstrate his rare talent for aligning environmental stewardship with operational excellence.
"True engineering leadership means solving today's operational challenges while securing tomorrow's sustainable future," Kamat reflects. This philosophy permeates his work, from the plastic-free initiatives eliminating single-use items to the waste segregation program that slashed landfill contributions from 1,200 to 400 tons.
Beyond technical innovations, Kamat has cultivated an engineering culture where open communication and continuous improvement thrive. His preventive maintenance programs extend infrastructure lifespan while his renovation management ensures guest comfort remains undisturbed during property enhancements.
From energy dashboards to water recycling systems, Sachin Kamat's recognition celebrates leaders who prove that luxury hospitality and environmental responsibility aren't just compatible - they're mutually reinforcing when engineered with vision and expertise.
