MEP Project Manager

Full-time Permanent Position

Position Overview:

  1. The MEP Project Manager is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems for ICI, and P3 building projects. This role involves managing complex systems-including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, tunnel ventilation, ICAT, and traction power.


Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Delivery & Coordination: Manages MEP packages (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire alarm), coordinating submittals and shop drawings while resolving interdisciplinary spatial and technical conflicts.
  • Planning & Control: Oversees project scheduling, budget management, and risk mitigation
  • Commissioning & Quality: Leads site testing and commissioning, ensuring compliance with Ontario Building Code and safety standards.

Engineering & Technical Coordination
  • Shop Drawing Management: Review and coordinate shop drawings and material approval requests prepared by subcontractors to ensure consistency across all stations.
  • BIM & Spatial Integration: Use BIM models (Revit/AutoCAD) to perform clash detection and ensure MEP routing works within congested station corridors and technical rooms.
  • Interface Resolution: Manage technical interfaces between MEP systems, civil works, and architectural finishes to prevent site conflicts.
  • Method Statements: Review construction procedures, inspection test plans (ITPs), and installation method statements provided by subcontractors.

Commercial & Contractual Management
  • Procurement Strategy: Prepare technical documents for tenders, evaluate supplier proposals, and manage the procurement of long-lead MEP equipment.
  • Variation & Claims: Review subcontractor claims for variations or delays and negotiate entitlements both upstream with the client and downstream with vendors.
  • Payment Validation: Review progress billing and payment applications to ensure invoiced amounts comply with contractual milestones.

Execution & Quality Assurance
  • Safety Leadership: Enforce strict safety protocols, ensuring all MEP means and methods align with the project's Integrated Management System.
  • Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Coordinate and oversee FAT procedures to verify equipment performance before it arrives on site.

Project Handover:
  • Lead the preparation of final as-built packages and documentation required for official project commissioning and handover


Qualifications

Key Qualifications/Requirements
  • Education: A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering is standard. A degree in Construction Management is sometimes accepted if paired with deep technical MEP experience.
  • You'll need 10+ years of experience, with a significant amount in medium-rise building construction, or ICI projects.
  • Frameworks: Familiarity with Progressive Design-Build, Design-Build-Finance, or P3 (Public-Private Partnership) models is critical, as these dictate how you interact with the client and the designer.

Soft & Technical Skills
  • Contractual Literacy: You must be a "contract ninja." This means knowing how to read and defend against delay claims and managing Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) contracts.
  • BIM Fluency: You don't need to be a modeler, but you must be able to navigate Navisworks or Revit to lead clash detection meetings and ensure the pipes actually fit where the drawings say they do
  • The "Toronto Factor": Knowledge of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), and Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
