This is a key technical and coordination role with influence across the full project lifecycle - from design development through installation, commissioning, and handover.

• Oversee the prompt resolution and completion of snagging works.
• Provide oversight on all mechanical and electrical aspects across every contract.
• Identify and implement cost-saving opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.
• Review subcontractor quotations for accuracy and potential cost efficiencies.
• Take a proactive approach to design-and-build and own-build project delivery.
• Perform any other duties as required by the Company.

• Strong technical knowledge of mechanical and electrical services systems in commercial developments
• Experience working for a main contractor or large subcontractor on multi-disciplinary projects
• Excellent project coordination and stakeholder management skills
• Strong understanding of M&E design, specification, and delivery standards
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and prioritise workload
