• Installation Supervision: Direct and monitor the installation of all HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems by subcontractors, ensuring work is carried out correctly according to approved drawings and plans.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Conduct regular site inspections to verify that installations meet project specifications, quality standards, and local/international building codes and regulations (e.g., ASHRAE, NFPA, local authority rules).
• Coordination and Problem-Solving: Act as the primary liaison for MEP services on-site, coordinating with architects, structural engineers, project managers, and other contractors to resolve design conflicts and technical issues as they arise.
• Documentation and Reporting: Prepare and maintain detailed site reports, progress logs, and "as-built" information on field drawings. Manage and review material submittals, shop drawings, and operation & maintenance (O&M) manuals.
• Testing and Commissioning: Supervise and assist in the testing and commissioning of MEP systems to ensure they function as intended before project handover to the client.

• Required Experience and Qualifications
• Education: A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil Engineering is a standard requirement.
• Professional Experience: Typically requires a minimum of 5+ years of professional experience in MEP design, coordination, and site supervision, preferably within building construction projects.
• Technical Expertise (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical):
• HVAC: In-depth knowledge of HVAC systems, including chiller units, VRF systems, package units, load calculations, ducting, and piping systems.
• Plumbing: Expertise in water supply (hot/cold), drainage, sanitary systems, fire suppression, and relevant health/safety standards.
• Electrical: Knowledge of power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, standby power, and earthing/lightning protection systems.
• Software Proficiency: Strong knowledge of MEP software such as AutoCAD and Revit MEP for design review and coordination. Familiarity with BIM (Building Information Modeling) processes is often a plus.
