• Coordinate technical submissions and interfaces of MEP subcontractors and suppliers, and give approved technical data to procurement.
• Maintain drawing and submittal logs, follow up on consultant approvals and escalate delays affecting the site schedule.
• Support the site team with approved drawings and technical clarifications, and feed technical input to the commercial team on variations and claims.
• Oversee as-built drawings, O&M manuals and testing and commissioning documentation for handover.
