2. Ensure that E&M designs comply with local regulations, LTA standards, and project specifications.
3. Collaborate with engineers, consultants, and contractors to ensure smooth integration of E&M systems with other project elements (civil, structural, and architectural).
4. Conduct design reviews, ensuring alignment with project requirements and resolving any discrepancies or technical challenges.
5. Liaise with LTA representatives and ensure design submissions are timely and meet LTA’s approval process.
6. Manage and track the progress of E&M design deliverables to ensure timely completion.
7. Assist in resolving on-site technical issues related to E&M systems and provide design clarification to construction teams.
8. Ensure that safety and quality standards are upheld in all E&M design implementations.
9. Prepare regular reports on the progress of E&M designs and updates for the project management team.
