Principal Duties And Responsibilities

• Manage all mechanical systems within the package, ensuring design, procurement and installation align with project requirements.
• Liaise with client design teams, main contractors, suppliers and subcontractors to resolve technical issues and maintain delivery momentum.
• Review IFC drawings and specifications to understand scope fully; drive the coordination process so BIM outputs become installation-ready drawings, fabrication details and isometrics.
• Raise, track and close requests for information and technical queries to remove blockers and protect the programme.
• Work with the Project Manager and EHS lead to establish, maintain and close the project safety file and ensure safe working practices on site.
• Set up and maintain site QA records with the QA lead and ensure installations meet the project QA plan.
• Coordinate engineering activity with the Project Manager, consulting engineers and client milestones to prevent engineering delay affecting the critical path.
• Manage cost and resource elements for the package, including Sensori mechanical teams, subcontractors, materials, plant, variations and valuations; issue weekly cost reports.
• Oversee daily site operations, resolve technical issues and ensure efficient use of labour and plant; ensure Sensori policies are flowed down to suppliers and subcontractors.
• Track subcontractor progress and manpower; hold minuted weekly coordination meetings; operate the in-progress snagging system.
• Produce internal and external weekly progress reports (percent complete by WBS, risks, KPIs); manage material take-offs and the engineering materials report; schedule deliveries to match the programme.
• Prepare subcontract and supplier tender packages with the quantity surveyor and assess returns for technical compliance.
• Evaluate and promote engineering practices that shorten delivery, improve quality or reduce cost; mentor junior engineers.
• Deliver final account, O&M manuals, punch lists, safety and QA files and final documentation; maintain a weekly photographic diary.

Selection criteria / person specification

• Trade qualification or third-level degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least five years with recognised MEP or mechanical contractors, consultancies or in-house delivery teams on construction or installation projects.
• Strong knowledge of HVAC, piping, enclosures, mounting systems and mechanical installation best practice.
• Competent with Revit, AutoCAD or equivalent and able to produce fabrication details and isometrics.
• Familiar with planning software (Primavera, MS Project or equivalent) and project reporting systems.
• Experience with cost control, variations and valuations.
• Solid understanding of quality, health, safety and environmental requirements on site.
• Excellent negotiation, problem-solving and decision-making skills; able to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage workload to deadlines
