MEP Manager - English or Chinese Speaking

Job Purpose

The MEP Manager will oversee the end-to-end delivery of complex Mechanical, Electrical,

Plumbing, and Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) systems for our next-generation data center projects.

This role bridges the gap between design intent and physical execution, ensuring that high

density power distribution and cooling infrastructures are installed, tested, and commissioned

safely, on time, within budget, and to Tier III/IV standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Construction & On-Site Coordination

• Interdisciplinary Alignment: Lead and coordinate on-site MEP subcontractors,

ensuring seamless integration of mechanical and electrical packages with civil, structural,

and architectural teams.

• BIM & Clash Resolution: Oversee the 3D BIM coordination process (using

Revit/Navisworks) to identify and resolve spatial routing conflicts before physical

installation begins.

• Technical Reviews: Review and validate subcontractor shop drawings, method

statements, material submittals, and RFIs (Requests for Information).

2. Technical Oversight (Power & Cooling)

• Electrical Systems: Manage the installation of medium-to-high voltage substations,

generators, UPS systems, switchgear, and power distribution units (PDUs).

• Mechanical Systems: Oversee advanced cooling infrastructure, including chillers,

cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, direct-to-chip liquid cooling loops, and associated

piping.

• Controls & ELV: Ensure precise installation and mapping of Building Management

Systems (BMS), Environmental Monitoring Systems (EMS), EPMS, and fire suppression

systems (VESDA, Pre-action).

3. Commissioning & Quality Assurance (QA/QC)

• Level 1–5 Commissioning: Drive the full testing and commissioning lifecycle, from

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) up to Integrated

Systems Testing (IST / Level 5).

• Quality Compliance: Enforce rigorous QA/QC standards, defect management, and

vendor compliance to eliminate risks of infant mortality in mission-critical equipment.

• Handover Readiness: Manage the final transition to the Operations team, ensuring all

O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and asset warranties are fully compiled and handed

over.

4. Commercial & Risk Management

• Schedule Tracking: Monitor milestones and look-ahead schedules to prevent MEP

installation paths from impacting the critical path of the project.

• Change Management: Evaluate technical variations and change orders, providing cost

benefit and schedule-impact analyses to the commercial team.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a

highly related technical field.

• Experience: Minimum of 6–8 years of MEP project management experience, with at

least 3–5 years dedicated specifically to Data Center construction or similar high

density critical environments (e.g., semiconductor fabs, power plants).

• Standards Knowledge: Deep familiarity with data center design standards (e.g., Uptime

Institute Tier Standards, TIA-942, LEED, ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9).

• Software Proficiency: Competence in BIM tools (Navisworks/Revit) and project

management platforms (Procore, Primavera P6, or MS Project).

Key Competencies

• Under Pressure Excellence: Ability to manage high-stress situations calmly during

critical cut-overs or energized testing phases.

• Clear Communicator: Capable of translating highly technical electrical/mechanical

issues into concise business impacts for non-technical stakeholders and clients.

• Safety-First Mindset: Uncompromising commitment to Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

protocols and high-voltage safety practices.
