Job Summary

The MEP, LV & ELV Technician will be responsible for the testing, configuration, commissioning, and maintenance of critical building infrastructure. This role ensures the flawless integration, operation, and safety of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems—including power distribution and emergency backup—alongside Building Management Systems (BMS), Access Control Systems (ACS), and CCTV surveillance. The role will also include the design of preventative maintenance tasks and execution and supervision of these maintenance activities at multiple sites around the country.

Key Responsibilities

MEP, Power Distribution &Generation

• Install, test, and commission MEP systems per approved construction drawings and project specifications.
• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot LV Switchgear components, including Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs), Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs), busbars, and protection relays.
• Perform routine testing, load bank testing, and preventative maintenance on diesel generators and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), Synchronization and Cyclic Duty Changeover Panels etc.
• Troubleshoot, wire, and modify electrical control panels (such as fuel control panels, starter panels, HVAC control panels, and distribution boards).
• Execute Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) across plumbing, electrical circuits, and mechanical units (e.g., HVAC, pumps, generators).
• Interpret complex schematics, wiring diagrams, and blueprints.

Building Management Systems (BMS)

• Configure and commission BMS hardware and software for optimal energy efficiency, building management and climate control.
• Integrate MEP equipment and electrical panels into the BMS network to ensure centralized monitoring and control.
• Troubleshoot system communication faults, sensor calibrations, and automation sequences.

Access Control Systems (ACS) &CCTV Surveillance

• Install, configure, and commission IP-based CCTV cameras, NVRs/DVRs, and video management software.
