Construction Supervisor - Mechanical at Tatu City Limited

Responsibilities:

On-Site Supervision & Installation Management:

• Provide direct, hands-on supervision of all mechanical system installation activities on a daily basis, including HVAC (chillers, pumps, AHUs, ductwork), plumbing & drainage, fire protection (sprinklers, standpipes), and gas systems.
• Manage and coordinate the daily work of the mechanical subcontractors, ensuring that all installation teams are working efficiently, safely, and in accordance with the approved program.
• Monitor site productivity and progress against the weekly and daily work plans, proactively identifying and resolving any issues related to manpower, materials, or equipment that may impact the schedule.
• Interpret complex mechanical drawings, schematics, and specifications to ensure that all systems are installed correctly and in full compliance with the design intent.

Quality Control & Assurance:

• Act as the frontline enforcer of the project's quality standards for all mechanical works, conducting continuous inspections of workmanship, materials, and installation practices.
• Ensure all installations comply with project specifications and international standards (e.g., SMACNA, NFPA, IPC).
• Raise formal inspection requests (IRs) for all completed mechanical works and coordinate with the Field Engineer and QA/QC team to ensure timely approvals.
• Witness and verify key quality checks, including ductwork leakage testing, pipe pressure testing, and initial equipment pre-power checks.

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE):

• Champion a culture of safety for all mechanical works, with a particular focus on high-risk activities such as heavy equipment lifting (chillers, AHUs), hot works (welding), and working in confined spaces.
• Lead daily site safety walks (Toolbox Talks) for mechanical teams, ensuring all workers are following safe work procedures and using the correct PPE.
• Review subcontractor's method statements and risk assessments for all mechanical installation activities.
• Ensure a high standard of housekeeping is maintained in all mechanical work areas.

Coordination & Reporting:

• Prepare accurate daily and weekly site reports detailing the progress of mechanical works, resource allocation, and any delays or technical challenges encountered.
• Liaise closely with the Mechanical Field Engineer to resolve technical queries and ensure all works are approved before concealment.
• Coordinate proactively with other discipline supervisors (Electrical, Civil) to ensure smooth integration of services and avoid clashes on site.
• Assist in tracking the delivery and proper storage of all major mechanical equipment and materials

Requirements

• A diploma, higher national diploma, or trade certificate in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is essential. A bachelor's degree is a significant advantage.
• A minimum of 10-15 years of direct, hands-on experience in a mechanical construction supervision role (e.g., Mechanical Foreman, General Foreman, MEP Superintendent) on large-scale building projects. Experience on high-rise towers is highly advantageous.
• Extensive experience working for a major MEP subcontractor or a main contractor with a strong self-perform MEP division is mandatory.
• Expert practical knowledge of the installation, testing, and commissioning of a wide range of mechanical systems, including chilled water systems, large-scale ductwork, vertical plumbing risers, and fire protection systems.
• Must be highly skilled in reading and interpreting complex mechanical and plumbing drawings, P&IDs, and coordination drawings.
