JO-202561: MEP Project Manager (Design-Focused)

This is a remote position.

MEP Project Manager (Design-Focused)

About the Role

We are making a strategic first hire to build and scale our MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) division.

We are seeking a design-focused MEP Project Manager with a strong background in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering who can lead multidisciplinary coordination, manage remote drafting teams, and ensure international-standard compliance.

This is a leadership role that will define the technical direction and quality standards of our MEP operations.

Why This Role Is Critical

MEP projects require tight coordination between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. A strong design-focused PM:

• Prevents drawing errors and costly rework
  

• Leads junior engineers and drafters effectively
  

• Ensures compliance with US / UK / AU standards
  

• Delivers coordinated, clash-free models and drawings
  

• Builds scalable systems for international growth
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

Education

• Mechanical Engineer (HVAC-heavy projects preferred)
  

• Electrical Engineer (power & industrial focus preferred)
  

• Civil Engineer with strong MEP coordination experience (less common but acceptable)
  

Experience

• 7+ years in MEP design & coordination
  

• Experience with US, UK, or Australian standards
  

• Managed remote drafting or engineering teams
  

• Experience in MEP design-build projects
  

• Strong understanding of RFI management
  

• International code compliance experience
  

Technical Skills

• AutoCAD
  

• Revit MEP (BIM coordination)
  

• Clash detection using Navisworks
  

• 2D & 3D drawing review
  

• Construction site coordination knowledge
  

Bonus Qualifications

• PMP Certification
  

• Experience working remotely with US-based engineering firms
  

• Experience in Industrial MEP + Automation integration
  

Our Strategic Advantage: Industrial MEP + Automation

We are positioning ourselves beyond generic MEP firms.

Our niche focus includes:

• Industrial power distribution
  

• Control panel systems
  

• PLC integration
  

• Facility-level MEP systems
  

An Electrical Engineering background with automation exposure is a strong advantage.

Growth Plan – Future Team Structure

Following this hire, we plan to scale with:

Priority 2: BIM / MEP Coordinator

• Revit MEP expert
  

• Clash detection specialist
  

• Shop drawing production
  

• Construction sequencing understanding
  

Priority 3: Discipline Engineers

• Mechanical Design Engineer (HVAC Specialist – ASHRAE, load calculations, duct design)
  

• Electrical Design Engineer (NEC, IEC familiarity, panel schedules, single-line diagrams)
  

• Plumbing / Fire Protection Designer
  

Smart Hiring Strategy (If Budget-Conscious Phase)

We may initially build with:

• 1 Senior MEP Project Manager
  

• 2–3 Mid-Level MEP Drafters (AutoCAD/Revit strong)
  

Then scale engineers as projects expand.

What Success Looks Like

• Coordinated, clash-free MEP drawings
  

• Strong leadership of drafting teams
  

• Clean submissions for international clients
  

• Reduced rework and improved delivery timelines
  

• Professional communication with global stakeholders
  

Why Join Us?

• Be the foundational leader of our MEP division
  

• Work on international projects (US, UK, AU)
  

• Opportunity to build and scale a technical team
  

• High-impact leadership position
  

• Long-term growth potential
