* Plan and manage MEP works within a live, secure operational environment, keeping disruption to a minimum and following all security and access protocols.
* Make sure all MEP works meet specifications, Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act, health and safety law and project standards.
* Report MEP progress, risks and performance to the Project Director and senior leadership.
