Position OverviewThe Design Integration Manager (Mechanical) collaborates closely with our project development, operations, estimating, and project support teams throughout the pursuit, preconstruction, construction, commissioning, and close-out phases of projects. The person is responsible for leading the design process for all mechanical scopes (HVAC, plumbing, piping, process equipment) on design-build, engineer-procure-construct, construction manager at-risk, and other alternative delivery projects to ensure that design maximizes value for our clients and adheres to contracted scope, budget, and schedule.
Key Responsibilities- During the design phase of projects, organize and manage the activities of the project team (owner, designers, estimating, and operations/construction) to conceptualize and develop the design of significant building and infrastructure projects.
- Collaborate with the project team to define the scope and sequence of design delivery including composition and timing of early release packages.
- Establish a culture of accountability within the design team. Communicate project expectations with designers, including level of document development and construction budget.
- Establish project-specific information management systems and communication protocols throughout the design phase.
- Drive design schedules by leading or participating in regularly scheduled design team and OAC (owner/architect/contractor) team meetings.
- Manage change management logs throughout the design phase including cost and schedule impact.
- Coordinate review cycles amongst the project team. Manage Alberici's risk in terms of scope creep, scope gaps, and constructability issues and drive value engineering activities.
- Maintain a detailed RFP compliance matrix to validate that the design meets the owner's requirements.
- Provide program validation to ensure building systems and owner-provided process equipment have proper structural and MEP support.
- Collaborate with the estimating team to establish and periodically review cost trend logs throughout design. Lead the designers to adjust designs so that projects remain within the construction budget.
- Assist the estimating and operations teams with screening of relevant trade partners and suppliers and reviewing construction bids.
- Collaborate with the VDC team to establish and execute a project-specific BIM implementation plan.
- Support the operations/construction team during construction and close-out by managing the design team through design changes and issue resolution.
- Assist the Director, Design Integration in the development of design integration tools, templates, and best practices.
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for mechanical scopes including performance of peer reviews and completion of constructability review.
- Support project development teams during the pre-proposal and project pursuit phases including collaboration on capture strategy and participation in client presentations.
- On design-build (DB) and engineer-procure-construct (EPC) projects, solicit and evaluate proposals from primary and specialty design consultants and participate in negotiation of design contracts.
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical field.
- 10+ years of experience in HVAC, plumbing, piping and process engineering design
- Previous experience on design-build projects.
- Licensure as a professional engineer (P.E.) preferred.
- Certification as a LEED AP or DBIA certified professional a plus.
