• Own the RFI process - issuing, tracking, and resolving queries with clients and consultants in a timely manner.

Coordination & Leadership

• Coordinate across all engineering disciplines to ensure a unified, buildable design.
• Apply engineering judgment across systems, balancing performance, cost, and constructability.
• Identify and propose value engineering opportunities to optimize design efficiency and cost.
• Support the estimation/bid team with technical input during tender preparation.
• Ensure all deliverables meet applicable legal, safety, and industry standards.

Candidate Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Building Services Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant design experience within the construction industry; prior exposure to data center or other mission-critical facilities is a strong advantage.

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks (including MTO/quantity review), plus general MS Office proficiency.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and problem-solving abilities.
