An Assistant Manager – Projects (MEP Engineering) oversees the planning, site execution, coordination, and commissioning of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems for construction and real estate projects.

Job Purpose

To bridge design intent with on-site execution, ensuring that all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, firefighting, and ELV (Extra-Low Voltage) systems are installed safely, within budget, on schedule, and in compliance with statutory and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Review & Engineering Coordination:

• Review and approve MEP drawings, shop drawings, coordinated/composite services drawings, and Technical Data Sheets (TDS).

• Coordinate MEP routes with civil, structural, architectural, and interior fit-out teams to prevent clashes.

• Site Execution & Supervision:

• Monitor daily site execution for HVAC, power distribution (HT/LT), lighting, plumbing, drainage, fire alarms, and firefighting systems.

• Supervise MEP contractors, subcontractors, and vendors to maintain productivity and quality.

• Planning, Progress & Billing:

• Prepare and track MEP master schedules, manpower deployment plans, and material requirement forecasts (using tools like MS Project or Primavera).

• Verify contractor measurements, review running account (RA) bills, and assist in material reconciliation.

• Testing, Commissioning & Handover:

• Oversee pressure testing, flushing, electrical megger testing, and functional performance testing of equipment.

• Compile as-built drawings, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, and handover documentation.

• Quality, Safety & Compliance (HSE):

• Enforce site safety norms, EHS guidelines, and local statutory/municipal regulations.

• Drive value engineering initiatives to reduce material wastage and optimize project costs.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: B.Tech / B.E. or Diploma in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

• Experience: Typically 4 to 10 years of hands-on experience in MEP execution, site coordination, and project management (often specific to residential high-rises, commercial parks, hotels, or hospitals).

• Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in reading and coordinating MEP/HVAC layouts.

• Working knowledge of CAD tools (AutoCAD, Revit) and project planning software (MS Project).

• Familiarity with Green Building / LEED standards and local safety codes.

• Behavioral Skills: Strong stakeholder/vendor management, problem-solving orientation, and team leadership.
