• Work closely with site-based teams to resolve design and coordination issues during construction.
• Monitor design programmes to ensure information is released in line with project requirements.
• Identify and manage design risks while driving value engineering opportunities.
• Ensure M&E installations are fully coordinated with architectural and structural elements.

Requirements

• Previous experience as an M&E Design Manager, Building Services Manager or Senior M&E Coordinator.
• Strong Mechanical and Electrical building services knowledge gained within a Main Contractor or Building Services Contractor environment.
• Experience delivering large commercial construction projects.
• Excellent coordination, communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to travel regularly to project sites.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
