MEP Coordinator

Description

The coordinator will support estimating, subcontractor bid reviews, scheduling, logistics, and constructability reviews for MEP systems, and assist both pre‑construction and project teams in evaluating trade partner estimates and design‑change costs. They will also manage the owner‑architect interface for multiple systems, review shop drawings and submittals, and develop comprehensive commissioning plans that define testing, inspections, factory start‑up, FAT, documentation, and integrated test procedures.

Overseeing MEP coordination through virtual design and construction processes, the coordinator will provide onsite construction support, supervise system start‑up, balancing, commissioning, validation, owner training, and project closeout. They will also develop and enforce project‑specific MEP quality and safety programs, including safety cause mapping for post‑MEP events.
