• Define mandatory global requirements, permitted regional or building-specific variations, and a clear process for approving derogations.
• Maintain and regularly update a controlled library of specifications, design guidance, and approved products in response to regulatory changes, emerging technologies, and operational feedback.
• Review MEP designs throughout the project lifecycle-from feasibility through commissioning and handover-to ensure compliance with established standards.
• Provide early MEP guidance for site selection, lease negotiations, and landlord works, identifying capacity constraints, risks, and delivery considerations.
• Review and challenge external consultants and contractors on design proposals, value engineering, submittals, testing, commissioning, and handover documentation.
• Partner with Engineering, local project managers, and consultants to ensure designs support operational requirements, maintainability, resilience, and effective transition into operation.
• Serve as the MEP subject matter expert for global project teams, supporting design, procurement, cost, program, risk, regulatory, and stakeholder coordination decisions.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Building Services Engineering, or a related field; chartered status, such as CEng, MCIBSE, MIMechE, or MIET, is desirable.
• At least 10 years of MEP design and/or delivery experience in complex commercial or critical environments, including developing or applying technical standards.
• Experience delivering projects across multiple regions, with strong knowledge of international codes and regional variations.
• Strong technical knowledge of HVAC, power distribution, UPS/generators, building management systems, public health systems, and sustainability frameworks, including BREEAM, LEED, and WELL.
• Proven ability to review and challenge designs and influence senior stakeholders, consultants, and contractors without direct authority.
• Excellent communication, analytical, problem-solving, and project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects across time zones.
