- Review mechanical designs to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or deviations from project specifications and design intent.
- Validate equipment selections, duct and pipe sizing, and system layouts, making recommendations to optimize performance and efficiency.
- Ensure timely completion of technical assessments and resolution of all mechanical engineering issues throughout the project lifecycle.
- Compile, submit, and manage mechanical technical submittals through the full approval process.
- Track procurement, delivery, and receipt verification of major mechanical plant and equipment.
- Attend and record regular supply chain and coordination meetings to ensure progress aligns with the construction program.
- Maintain and update mechanical progress trackers in full alignment with the construction schedule.
- Collaborate closely with the BIM and design coordination teams to ensure constructability and adequate spatial allowances for installation and maintenance.
- Liaise with the design team, subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure correct operation and integration of HVAC, chilled water, and process systems during construction and commissioning.
- Conduct mechanical system walk-downs to verify installation quality and compliance with drawings, specifications, and design standards.
- Compile test packs, commissioning documentation, and O&M manuals for client approval.
- Manage specialist vendors and commissioning agents to ensure timely completion and proper system validation.
- Participate in and lead client training sessions during handover to ensure operational understanding of installed systems.
- Lead mechanical design and design management activities as part of an integrated project delivery team.
- Provide technical input and support for design development, coordination reviews, prefabrication strategies, and subcontractor engagement.
- Contribute to the continual improvement of QA systems and perform project reviews and lessons-learned sessions.
- Provide mechanical engineering expertise to estimating, procurement, commercial, and bid teams during tender and pre-construction stages.
- Offer off-site technical support to project delivery teams as required.
- Mentor and coach junior engineers and graduates, fostering technical excellence and professional growth within the mechanical discipline.
