Job description

You will govern MEP quality - mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and firefighting - Across the full programme lifecycle. Your mandate is audit and final approval, not first-line inspection. The CSC reviews and inspects first; you review the CSC.

• Audit the CSC's and Contractor's MEP quality systems against project specifications, codes and standards both off-site (factory) and on-site.
• Review and give final PMC approval of ITPs and Method Statements for each MEP activity following the CSC's first-line check; confirm they are in place before works commence.
• Conduct surveillance audits and spot checks across MEP installations - ducting, pipework, drainage, firefighting, LV electrical distribution, containment, cabling and earthing.
• Review MIR and WIR records at hold and witness points; audit that the CSC witnessed and closed them correctly; rely on them as the basis for final approval.
• Review testing and commissioning records: pressure and leak tests, duct and air-tightness tests, air-balancing, flushing, insulation resistance, continuity and functional performance tests.
• Review and give final acceptance of FAT records before each module ships and SAT records once installed.
• Govern the NCR and SOR process; audit trends across CSC logs; verify corrective actions are tracked through to close-out.
• Issue final approval of MARs after the CSC's first-line review; audit calibration, storage and protection controls.
• Review PQDs for MEP subcontractors and vendors; give final PMC approval of their quality controls before acceptance onto the works.

• Practical command of ITPs, surveillance auditing and NCR management.
• Sound knowledge of MEP testing and commissioning and related acceptance records.
• Working knowledge of applicable MEP standards and the Saudi Building Code (SBC).
