Attend technical site meetings and inspections; resolve MEP-related installation issues.
Ensure full Health & Safety compliance with a strong focus on services installation (e.g. RAMS for M&E works, plant movement safety).
Monitor services commissioning and assist in testing, witnessing, and final certification.
Collaborate with Commercial and Estimating teams on MEP valuations, variations, and procurement decisions.
Champion value engineering in mechanical, electrical, and HVAC scopes.
