You’ll be involved from initial bid stages through to handover to delivery teams, ensuring that MEP design, cost and programme are aligned.
Key Responsibilities
• Leading MEP input through the pre construction phase
• Managing design coordination with consultants and subcontractors
• Supporting bids, tenders and technical submissions
• Reviewing and challenging design solutions to ensure buildability and efficiency
• Working closely with commercial teams on cost planning and procurement strategy
• Engaging with clients and stakeholders throughout the pre construction process
What They’re Looking For
• Strong MEP background within a main contractor or specialist subcontractor
• Experience in pre construction, design management or estimating
• Good technical understanding across mechanical and electrical packages
• Comfortable working in a client facing environment
• Ability to influence design, cost and programme at early stages
