This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced MEP professional to take a lead role in the delivery of building services across a complex project, with responsibility spanning pre-construction, design, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover.

- Leading building-services inputs into project strategy, including design deliverables, procurement, programme, and commissioning.
- Coordinating mechanical and electrical design, procurement, installation, testing, and commissioning activities.
- Managing building-services programmes and mitigating the impact of resequencing, acceleration, and late information.
- Working closely with design and commercial teams to align scopes, fees, design responsibilities, and risk allowances.
- Reviewing buildability and driving value engineering and effective risk mitigation.
- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams, specialist subcontractors, and supply-chain partners.
- Supporting Principal Contractor duties and ensuring relevant duty holders understand their responsibilities.
- Ensuring appropriate mechanical and electrical safe systems of work, energisation readiness, and live-working controls are in place.
- Implementing and monitoring QMP, ITP, RAMS, and Testing & Commissioning Plan requirements.
- Ensuring inspections, witnessing, certification, commissioning records, as-builts, and snagging are completed ahead of handover.
- Supporting delivery of O&M manuals, end-user training, seasonal commissioning, and aftercare requirements.
- Providing clear progress reporting and maintaining strong communication with project stakeholders.
- Challenging unsafe practices and unresolved technical or compliance risks.
- Driving right-first-time delivery, continuous improvement, and successful project outcomes.
