The MEP Systems Integration Manager (MEP SIM) is the Customer's senior on-site technical integration representative, ensuring that mechanical, electrical and associated infrastructure systems progress from construction completion through energisation, startup and commissioning readiness in an integrated manner. The MEP SIM provides technical oversight of MEP system interfaces and commissioning preparation. The MEP SIM works closely with the Construction Manager (CM), Developer, General Contractor (GC), Commissioning Agents and MEP specialists.

The MEP SIM coordinates and escalates issues across the Customer, Developer, GC, MEP contractors, commissioning teams and Customer delivery teams but does not assume the Developer/GC's contractual responsibility for design, construction methodology, supervision, quality or commissioning execution.

Responsibilities

MEP Systems Integration

• Monitor MEP installation against contract documents, approved drawings and specifications.
• Provide technical interface management across mechanical, electrical, controls/BMS, fire/life systems and associated infrastructure systems
• Verify that control sequences, interlocks and dependencies are incorporated into commissioning readiness.
