• Lead MEP coordination efforts across disciplines, ensuring BIM/clash detection workflows and design intent are maintained throughout construction
• Oversee commissioning planning and execution, ensuring all MEP systems are tested, balanced, and handed over in accordance with contract requirements
• Manage project documentation and reporting — including RFIs, submittals, change orders, and commissioning records — ensuring accuracy and timely communication to stakeholders
• Provide regular MEP status reporting, risk analysis, and performance updates to project executives and ownership groups
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to Field MEP Managers, junior MEP staff and project engineers

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Construction Engineering, or related field required; P.E. or relevant certifications (LEED, CxA, PMP) a plus
• 10+ years of progressive experience managing MEP systems on large-scale commercial construction projects, with a demonstrated track record at the senior project management level
• Deep technical knowledge of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and building controls systems, with the ability to lead design and coordination discussions at the project leadership level
• Proven experience managing MEP budgets, subcontractor contracts, and multidisciplinary project teams
• Strong proficiency with construction management platforms (Procore, Bluebeam) and Microsoft Office Suite; familiarity with BIM coordination tools (Navisworks, Revit) preferred
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and leadership skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across all levels of a project
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects or teams simultaneously and perform effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to risk management
• Commitment to safety, quality, and delivering an exceptional client experience
