• Vendor & Partner Liaison: Direct external design consultants, general contractors, and client discipline SMEs, serving as the technical anchor between the field and the internal design/construction teams.

What we are looking for?

• Experience: Proven track record in mechanical engineering, specifically within heavy MEP, high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, or major hospital/healthcare sectors.
• Background: A strong foundation in heavy industrial or mission-critical environments.
• Technical Competencies: Exceptional HVAC and controls knowledge is a must. While your core is mechanical, you must possess enough plumbing and site civil/wet utility exposure to confidently read and interpret complex, multi-discipline drawings.
