• Deep understanding of MEP coordination in constrained, heritage, or listed buildings.
• Proven success in pre-construction, commissioning, and handover phases.
• Excellent communication, client-facing, and leadership skills.

• Familiarity with BIM processes and digital construction tools (e.g., Navisworks, Revit, Asta/MS Project)

Why Join?
