JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way .

Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you've got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you're looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.

The Mechanical Engineer supports the delivery of facility engineering projects and the maintenance and operation of critical facility systems. The role spans the full asset lifecycle, from design review, construction, and commissioning, through handover/takeover (HOTO) and operational readiness, to the safe, reliable, and efficient steady-state operation of cleanroom, laboratory, manufacturing, office, and related facility infrastructure. Working closely with Client assigned Project Teams, JLL Project and Development Services (PDS), JLL Integrated Facility Management (IFM), client stakeholders, and contractors, the Engineer helps ensure that systems are designed and built to be operable and maintainable, and are then run to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

Project Delivery

• Support the planning of project scope, schedule, budget, and resources, and help deliver facility projects (including expansions, upgrades, fit-outs, and MEP works) safely, on time, and within the approved budget to support the client's business needs.
• Act as the engineering technical and operations interface within the project and multidisciplinary team, from design development through to handover.
• Review design documents at each stage for operability, maintainability, redundancy, access, and lifecycle cost, and track design-for-operations comments to close-out.
• Review and develop technical specifications, drawings, shop drawings, method statements, equipment selections, and contractor submittals, and prepare project specifications, operating procedures, and work instructions as required.
• Provide technical expertise across the facility systems relevant to the role's engineering discipline, which may include HVAC and cleanroom air systems, process cooling and utilities, compressed air and gas systems, electrical power distribution and UPS, water and wastewater, chemical distribution, fire protection, and building management and control systems.
• Coordinate the interface between base-build systems and process or production equipment, including utility matrices, points of connection, and equipment hook-up requirements.
• Liaise between clients, consultants, contractors, OEMs, and internal teams to ensure project requirements are met, and develop effective vendor and OEM relationships.
• Provide construction-phase technical support, including site inspections, quality walkdowns, RFI responses, and non-conformance tracking.
• Assist with tracking project costs and capital approvals so that expenditure remains within the approved budget, and support procurement processes and vendor management.
• Witness factory and site acceptance tests and participate in all levels of commissioning, including integrated systems testing and, where applicable, testing and balancing and cleanroom certification.
• Identify and escalation technical and project risks, support timely resolution of project issues, and contribute to progress reporting for key stakeholders.
• Ensure adherence to health and safety regulations on all projects.

Handover (HOTO) and Operational Readiness

• Support operational readiness planning so that new or modified facilities and systems are ready to operate on day one.
• Support the handover/takeover (HOTO) process, helping secure complete handover documentation, including as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, test certificates, commissioning records, and OEM training, and track snag and punch-list closure from an operations perspective.
• Help build the asset register and tagging, configure the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), and develop planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedules and job plans based on OEM and statutory requirements.
• Draft and help validate site SOPs, MOPs, EOPs, and alarm response procedures before go-live.
• Provide input to the critical spares strategy and maintenance vendor scopes, and support procurement of service contracts.
• Review BMS/FMS and other monitoring system point lists and alarm priorities to ensure critical systems are monitored and escalated correctly.
• Support the defects liability period, warranty claims, and contractor close-out, monitoring post-handover performance until the facility reaches stable steady-state operation, and capture lessons learned for future projects.

Maintenance and Operations

• Support the safe, reliable, and efficient operation and maintenance of facility systems
