Key Responsibilities:

• Undertaking Mechanical design review in line with current standards and to ensure buildability and constructability. Identify any weakness or errors in the design that could jeopardise the functionality. Ensure HSE best practices are always followed.
• Where required undertake Mechanical design (tunnel ventilation, HVAC, pumped systems etc) including design checks.
• Ensure design risk assessment is compliant with installation parameters.
• Provide engineered solutions to key project problems to satisfy clients expectations, project restrictions and budget considerations.
• Management of all associated design registers, meeting minutes, drawing registers etc.as appropriate inline with company and project requirements. Ensure all formal communication is undertaken and managed (RFI’s, TQ’s, EWN’s, MAR’s etc.)
• Direct liaison with CAD team to ensure correct drawing modelling, to BIM or other standards. Review drawings for clash detection and associated interface problems.
• Development of scope documents for tenders and procurement processes.
• Liaison with manufacturers to determine product suitability, in partnership with procurement. Attendance at FAT and SAT (and any other required stage) to ensure compliance with requirements.
• Direct liaison with installation teams to ensure design suitability, works methodology and solve key installation issues/constructability.
• Working with the commercial department to track design change and variances.
• Working with the planning department to plan design, installation, and T&C works. Provision of accurate assessment on forecast works to complete and provide suitable readjustments to ensure project programme is maintained.
