• Support recruitment, onboarding, and integration of team members.

Mechanical Engineering & Technical Oversight

• Provide technical leadership across HVAC and ventilation, ductwork, plumbing and drainage, fire protection, mechanical piping, pumps, fans, and air-handling systems.
• Review drawings, specifications, basis-of-design documents, schedules, load/airflow/pressure calculations, duct and piping layouts, riser diagrams, and schematics.
• Review shop drawings, material/product submittals, method statements, installation sequences, and vendor technical data.
• Lead constructability, maintainability, installation-access, and service-clearance reviews.
• Develop/review RFIs, technical queries, submittals, and value-engineering proposals.
• Review testing, balancing (TAB), pressure testing, flushing, start-up, commissioning, and system-turnover requirements.
• Monitor procurement and long-lead mechanical equipment/materials and maintain appropriate technical registers and QA/QC documentation.

Project Delivery & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as a key interface between the mechanical engineering team and US-based project teams.
• Coordinate with project managers, superintendents, MEP managers, designers, trade partners, commissioning agents, manufacturers, vendors, and internal teams.
• Participate in design reviews, project meetings, procurement reviews, testing discussions, and commissioning meetings.
• Monitor RFIs, submittals, technical issues, procurement actions, dependencies, and closeout activities.
• Prepare technical risk summaries, status reports, procurement dashboards, and recovery plans.
• Escalate design gaps, technical concerns, schedule risks, lead-time issues, and commercial matters with appropriate recommendations.

Document Control & Project Closeout

• Manage document-control processes for assigned mechanical scopes.
• Maintain current drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, revisions, and change documentation.
• Monitor approval workflows, revision histories, outstanding actions, and document quality.
• Lead mechanical closeout and system-turnover activities.
• Oversee record drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, testing records, TAB reports, commissioning documentation, asset information, and training materials.
• Ensure closeout deliverables meet contractual timelines and client requirements.

Budget, Commercial, Risk, Quality & Safety

• Support mechanical budgets, cost codes, approval workflows, procurement, and commercial administration.
• Review proposals, quotations, change documentation, scope, quantities, labor, materials, exclusions, and budget compliance.
• Support payment applications, schedule-of-values reviews, stored-material validation, and cost tracking.
• Identify technical, commercial, procurement, schedule, testing, commissioning, and project risks and develop mitigation plans.
• Ensure QA/QC reviews are completed across drawings, calculations, submittals, installation readiness, testing, commissioning, and turnover.
• Promote safe construction and maintainability, including access, lifting/rigging, pressure testing, LOTO, confined-space, and service-clearance considerations.
