Role description

The role is suited for applicants with a strong building services engineering background, gained through MEP contracting, consulting, or facilities management. The candidate should have good working knowledge of commercial mechanical, electrical, and public health installations, along with understanding of MEP regulations and standards.

Within our Technical Due Diligence (TDD) team in the Lenders, Investors & Insurers Sector, the MEP Engineering Surveyor will support building services surveying and technical assessments across residential, commercial, and light industrial properties.

The primary role involves assessing services installations (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Electrical, Vertical transportation, Drainage, etc.), understanding their design and condition, and providing insights into their performance and operational risks through non-intrusive inspections, reviewing maintenance and compliance certifications, identifying defects, and assessing lifecycle replacement needs. The role also includes evaluating commercial factors affecting investments, risks, lease considerations, and recommending mitigation strategies.

The Surveyor will conduct inspections, prepare defect reports, and engage with clients. For larger portfolios, support in management and coordination with suppliers will be necessary to ensure quality and timely delivery.
