client, and organizational objectives into actionable technical plans that support schedule, budget, quality, safety, and operational readiness goals.\nProactively identify, assess, and mitigate cross-discipline technical risks to protect project schedules, cost control, commissioning success, and client acceptance.\nProvide regular technical progress updates, risk assessments, and recommendations to project teams, client stakeholders, and leadership.\nDesign, Procurement & OFCI/CFCI Coordination\nReview and validate design documents, specifications, owner standards, contract requirements, and technical submittals, including OFCI and CFCI equipment.\nVerify equipment performance criteria, system integration points, controls requirements, redundancy strategies, quality standards, and owner requirements during submittal and shop drawing development.\nValidate system-level assumptions related to maintainability, operational performance, reliability, serviceability, redundancy, and long-term functionality.\nSupport procurement and supply chain coordination for major MEP equipment, ensuring technical requirements, delivery constraints, integration needs, and commissioning impacts are understood and managed.\nIdentify design, procurement, or equipment coordination issues early and recommend practical solutions that reduce rework, field conflicts, schedule impacts, and change orders.\nCoordinate OFCI/CFCI equipment interfaces from procurement through installation, startup, commissioning, and turnover, ensuring vendor requirements, contractor responsibilities, owner standards, and commissioning expectations are clearly understood and aligned.\nMEP Systems Integration & Field Coordination\nCoordinate across mechanical, electrical, controls, fire protection, architectural, structural, commissioning, quality, and operations stakeholders to ensure integrated project execution.\nSupport project teams by troubleshooting and resolving complex or non-standard MEP challenges in the field.\nReview installation sequencing, system interfaces, controls integration, access requirements, maintainability provisions, and readiness dependencies.\nMonitor cross-discipline coordination to ensure MEP systems are installed in alignment with contract documents, owner standards, approved submittals, project quality requirements, and commissioning expectations.\nCollaborate closely with project management, design engineering, supply chain, quality, and field teams, as well as external vendors, commissioning agents, and owner representatives.\nValidate controls integration requirements across mechanical, electrical, equipment vendor, BMS/EPMS, fire alarm, and commissioning stakeholders to reduce gaps between design intent, sequence execution, and field testing.\nQuality Management & Risk Control\nSupport quality planning and execution for MEP systems, including inspections, documentation, deficiency tracking, corrective action, and readiness verification.\nVerify that installation quality, documentation completeness, equipment readiness, and system integration criteria support successful startup, functional testing, integrated systems testing, and turnover.\nAssist with root-cause analysis and corrective action planning for technical issues, quality concerns, integration failures, or repeated deficiencies.\nEnsure quality and risk mitigation expectations are communicated clearly to contractors, vendors, commissioning agents, and project stakeholders.\nPromote consistent application of DLB’s construction quality management practices and mission-critical delivery standards.\nCommissioning Readiness & Turnover Support\nPrepare and support teams for commissioning readiness, ensuring testing, documentation, and turnover activities are executed successfully.\nCoordinate with commissioning teams to verify system readiness for startup, functional testing, integrated systems testing, and owner acceptance.\nReview commissioning prerequisites, test documentation, issue logs, equipment status, controls readiness, and closeout requirements.\nSupport resolution of commissioning issues involving MEP systems, controls sequences, equipment performance, redundancy strategies, documentation, or integration points.\nEnsure lessons learned from commissioning and turnover are documented and incorporated into future project planning and execution.\nConfirm acceptance criteria, test prerequisites, documentation requirements, and turnover expectations are clearly defined before major startup, functional testing, integrated systems testing, and client acceptance milestones.\nDocumentation, Reporting & Continuous Improvement\nMaintain accurate technical documentation, issue logs, risk registers, action trackers, progress summaries, and project records.\nCapture lessons learned, document resolved issues, and contribute to continuous improvement across future projects.\nProvide
