MEP Engineer (Construction Field)

Job Summary:

An MEP Engineer working in the construction field is responsible for supervising, coordinating, and managing the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in buildings or infrastructure projects. This role ensures that all MEP systems are correctly installed, function properly, meet design specifications, and comply with local regulations and safety standards.

Key Responsibilities:

Installation Supervision & Coordination:

Oversee the installation of MEP systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire safety, etc.) on-site to ensure they are completed according to design plans and specifications. Coordinate with subcontractors and contractors to ensure timely and efficient MEP installations. Manage the daily on-site MEP work schedule, ensuring that tasks are completed within the established timeline.

Quality Assurance & Compliance:

Conduct regular inspections of the MEP systems during installation to ensure they meet quality standards and comply with local building codes, regulations, and safety standards. Resolve any discrepancies between the designs and on-site conditions by making necessary adjustments and documenting changes. Ensure that materials and components used in MEP systems meet required specifications and are up to code.

System Testing & Commissioning:

Supervise and perform functional testing of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, ensuring they are properly calibrated and operational. Collaborate with testing teams to commission the systems before handover, ensuring that each MEP system works efficiently. Troubleshoot any operational issues that arise during testing and work with the team to resolve them.

Documentation & Reporting:
