Project and Development Services – Bangalore/In

What this job involves:

Being the go-to MEP person

Are you considered to be the go-to person for all MEP matters?  That's what you'll be in this role.  You'll manage all activities related to mechanical, engineering and plumbing in terms of planning, designing, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, and final handover. Your task is to fully understand, collect and deliver clients' MEP requirements. The design manager in MEP will depend on you to help schedule or plan establishment, value engineer, and design change management. You'll also assist the contract manager in MEP-related procurement and VO management. On top of that, you'll support the construction manager in MEP-related installation, site inspection and contractor management.

Making visions come true

You'll develop big ideas that will spark the effective management and successful execution of all phases of a project—from initiating, designing, planning, controlling, executing, monitoring, and closing. You'll need to carefully identify and take note of our clients' needs, and figure out what exactly needs to be done. This involves defining the scope of the work and expected outcome, while also detailing all the necessary objectives to get there.

While you do all of these, you'll need to keep tabs on company resources used in the projects, and to allocate these resources to complete the project within the budget. You'll also need to help clients organize and analyze all tender and procurement for all contractors and suppliers; and represent them from the beginning to the end of a project.

Building strong teams and business reputation

One of your priorities will be to produce high-performing teams that drive successful project execution. You'll also represent and promote the company throughout projects and in pursuit of more project opportunities.

Keeping risks at bay

How do you deal with risks?  You'll need to identify any potential risks in the MEP field and report them to the Project Manager. It will be critical to design a risk management and solution provision, particularly to identify health & safety issues.  You will understand why this is your responsibility.

Sound like you? To apply you need to be:

An MEP pro

You have a degree in MEP engineering-related discipline or related field, and five years of combined educational and work experience. You also need to have sufficient experience in  construction site management, as well as a strong understanding of all aspects of development management including, financial appraisal, risk management, negotiation, etc.

Do you have a strong background of all aspects of MEP-related management—including the development of MEP project plan and procedures and construction schedules? Are you familiar with HVAC, electrical engineering, and BMS? Do you have knowledge of security system, AV system, and IT system? If your answers are yes, let's talk.

A business savvy leader who can walk the talk

You understand the business well enough, particularly in terms of the systems and tools to use, the best practices and the safety requirements. You're also knowledgeable of key industries and local market, with the real estate and construction business above all. You also have a basic understanding of the key drivers that push the projects forward, while also considering the client's business requirements.

You'll back up your business know-hows with the necessary communication skills, as you need to regularly do business development presentations to potential clients in both English and Chinese. You'll also manage site activities, negotiate with contractors, review the legal aspects of contracts, contribute to market analysis, and manage change orders.

A flexible leader with superb interpersonal skills

Are you a people person with superb interpersonal skills? You'll need to create a proactive working environment that not only motivates your employees, but also encourages them to maintain good relationship with clients, communicate effectively with each other, and contribute enthusiastically to the project. You also need to be a results-oriented leader with good problem-solving skills, as well as someone who can nurture positive relationships with all stakeholders involved, including your team members and clients.
