Job description

• Lead site-wide multidisciplinary coordination of MEP, civil, infrastructure, irrigation, landscape and architectural systems.
• Establish and manage the project’s MEP coordination procedures, workflows, responsibilities and deliverable schedule.
• Develop and maintain an interface matrix identifying dependencies among all disciplines, contractors and utility providers.
• Coordinate pressurized irrigation mains, treated-sewage-effluent networks, potable-water systems, stormwater drainage, sewerage, power, telecommunications and low-current services.
• Identify and resolve clashes between underground utilities, lake structures, cart paths, roads, foundations, landscape features and building services.
• Verify horizontal and vertical clearances, utility crossings, invert levels, access requirements and maintenance zones.
• Review the constructability and sequencing of congested utility corridors and critical service crossings.
• Lead reviews of Combined Services Drawings and Structural, Electrical and Mechanical drawings for the clubhouse and auxiliary buildings.
• Confirm that coordinated drawings incorporate the requirements of architectural, structural, fire and life-safety, landscape and specialist systems.
• Review plant-room layouts, service shafts, ceiling zones, risers, corridors and equipment-access routes.
• Verify that adequate space is maintained for equipment installation, operation, removal and future maintenance.
• Chair multidisciplinary and multi-trade spatial coordination workshops.
• Maintain clash registers, interface logs, decision records and action trackers.
• Assign coordination actions to responsible parties and monitor their closure within agreed timeframes.
• Review BIM clash-detection reports and confirm that identified conflicts are resolved before construction.
• Use Navisworks, Revit, AutoCAD and other approved platforms to review federated models and coordinated drawings.
• Verify that revised coordination solutions are reflected consistently across models, drawings, schedules and technical submissions.
• Coordinate interfaces between irrigation pump stations, electrical panels, control systems, standby power and associated mechanical equipment.
• Coordinate lake-filling, circulation and aeration systems with electrical power, controls, drainage and landscape requirements.
• Coordinate the Building Management System with HVAC systems, central plant, electrical monitoring, fire alarm and other integrated building systems.
• Review interfaces between utility-agency connections and internal project networks.
• Coordinate technical requirements with utility agencies and monitor the closure of connection-related actions.
• Review contractors’ shop drawings, coordination drawings, builders’ work drawings, method statements and technical queries.
• Verify that sleeves, openings, embedded items, plinths, supports, trenches and service penetrations are coordinated before construction.
• Coordinate with structural and civil teams to prevent unauthorized cutting, coring or modification of completed works.
• Conduct regular site inspections to confirm that installations comply with approved coordinated drawings.
• Identify field deviations and direct contractors to update drawings, models and installation proposals accordingly.
• Resolve site conflicts promptly to minimize abortive work, delays, variations and disruption to completed finishes.
• Monitor MEP and utility coordination activities against the approved construction and commissioning programs.
• Support the planning and sequencing of testing, pre-commissioning and commissioning activities.
• Develop or review integrated testing and commissioning matrices covering mechanical, electrical, controls and life-safety systems.
• Oversee Integrated Systems Testing across all relevant disciplines during project closeout.
• Coordinate testing interfaces among fire alarm, smoke control, emergency power, elevators, access control, BMS and other integrated systems.
• Verify that testing scripts, prerequisites, responsibilities, acceptance criteria and witnessing requirements are clearly established.
• Track commissioning observations, failed tests, corrective actions and retesting through final acceptance.
• Coordinate training, demonstrations and technical handover to the Client or facility-management team.
• Verify contractor redline markups against actual site installations.
• Ensure that final as-built drawings and BIM models accurately reflect on-site conditions.
