• Oversee MEP construction activities, conduct regular site inspections, and verify the quality of work, equipment installations, and adherence to contract documents.
• Manage the MEP commissioning process, witness system start-ups and testing, and ensure comprehensive documentation, training, and smooth transition to DEN operations and maintenance teams.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for MEP systems, including HVAC, electrical power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, plumbing, and specialized airport systems.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, or a closely related field.
• 7 years of progressive experience in MEP project management, construction management, or design for large, complex capital programs, preferably in an airport, transportation, industrial, or critical infrastructure environment.
• Deep knowledge of building codes, construction means and methods, and the principles of design, installation, and commissioning of major MEP systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical issues to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Prior experience working on projects within an active airport or similarly sensitive operational environment.
• Software Proficiency: Experience with project management software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project), Bluebeam, and BIM/Revit.
