MEP Engineer

Scope of Work:

The MEP Engineers responsibilities shall include but not be limited to the following:

A. Project Preparation and Systems Design Appraisal

• Review and assess developers MEP designs drawings and specifications for functionality efficiency compliance and alignment with project objectives.
• Evaluate system design adequacy including power supply energy distribution water supply wastewater systems HVAC (where applicable) and fire protection systems.
• Ensure that MEP designs optimize energy efficiency water conservation and operational performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness and affordability.
• Integrate climate-resilient and sustainable building services solutions (e.g. renewable energy integration efficient lighting systems water-saving technologies).
• Identify gaps in MEP design and provide recommendations to improve system performance reliability and maintainability prior to appraisal or financial close.
• Collaborate with architects structural engineers and other consultants to ensure coordinated and buildable system designs.

B. Technical and Commercial Due Diligence (TCDD) Coordination

• Participate in the TCDD process by reviewing MEP components of project submissions.
• Assess compliance with local building codes engineering standards and international best practices including green building standards (e.g. IFC EDGE).
• Review and validate MEP drawings load calculations system layouts and technical specifications for completeness and accuracy.
• Provide technical input to TCDD consultants to ensure consistency and quality in system design assessments.
• Participate in site visits to verify existing conditions and assess feasibility of proposed MEP systems.

C. Transaction Support and Financial Close

• Provide MEP inputs to technical appraisals investment memoranda and transaction documentation.
• Review and validate MEP-related cost estimates equipment specifications and system design assumptions.
• Identify and assess technical risks related to utilities infrastructure and system performance that may impact project bankability.
• Support the transaction team in resolving MEP-related issues identified during due diligence.
• Present key MEP findings and recommendations during internal investment review processes.

D. Project Implementation and Monitoring

• Review MEP system installation progress design changes and variation requests during construction.
• Conduct periodic site inspections to ensure compliance with approved designs specifications and quality standards.
• Monitor system performance installation quality and adherence to sustainability features.
• Identify and report deviations or risks related to MEP systems and recommend corrective actions.
• Contribute to commissioning reviews and post-construction assessments of building services systems.

E. Capacity Building and Knowledge Support

• Support the development of MEP design standards system guidelines and sustainability frameworks for affordable housing projects.
• Participate in knowledge-sharing sessions and internal training focused on building services engineering energy efficiency and water management.
• Provide technical guidance to developers to improve the quality and efficiency of MEP system designs and documentation.
• Contribute to the development of standardized templates and tools for MEP design review and assessment.
• Document lessons learned and technical insights to strengthen InfraCredits MEP review and monitoring processes.
• Support the development of e-learning modules focused on MEP systems for green and climate-resilient housing.

Deliverables:

The MEP Engineer shall be responsible for providing the following key deliverables:

1. MEP Design Review and Appraisal Reports
   • Detailed technical assessments of MEP systems designs and documentation.
   • Recommendations for improving system efficiency reliability and compliance.
2. Validated MEP Documentation
   • Verified system designs drawings and specifications incorporating sustainability and resilience features.
   • Coordination reports ensuring alignment across architectural structural. and cost elements
3. Technical and Commercial Due Diligence (TCDD) Contributions
   • MEP sections within TCDD reports covering system adequacy efficiency and compliance.
   • Inputs into technical queries and clarifications raised during the due diligence process.
4. Transaction Support Documents
   • MEP components of technical appraisal reports and investment memoranda.
   • Verified cost summaries and system specifications supporting financial close.
5. Project Monitoring and Site Review Reports
   • Site inspection reports documenting installation quality compliance and progress.
   • Reports on system deviations and recommended corrective actions.
6. MEP and Sustainability Tools
   • Contributions to internal MEP guidelines templates and climate aligned system standards.
   • Documentation of lessons learned and recommendations to enhance technical review and monitoring processes.

Expected Outcomes/Results:

The workstream is expected to deliver the following outcomes:

1. Enhanced efficiency reliability and sustainability of building services systems in housing projects under InfraCredits Green Affordable Housing Funding Programme.
2. Increased number of housing projects meeting InfraCredits technical due diligence and sustainability standards achieving faster financial close.
3. Strengthened integration of climate-resilient and green building principles in housing project design and implementation.
4. Improved coordination between MEP systems and other technical disciplines ensuring constructability and cost efficiency.
5. Greater internal capacity within InfraCredit to review and assess MEP systems and sustainability features in housing projects.
6. Development of standardized MEP tools and framework to improve consistency across projects.

Qualification and Education Requirements:

Candidates for the role should meet the following requirements:

• Bachelors and/ or Masters degree in Mechanical Electrical or Building Services Engineering.
• Professional certification and membership with a recognized body (e.g. NSE COREN) (mandatory).
• Minimum of 5 years experience in MEP design engineering or construction supervision within the housing or real estate sector.
• Demonstrated experience in reviewing and appraising MEP systems for residential or mixed-use developments.
• Experience participating in Technical and Commercial Due Diligence (TCDD) processes.
• Strong knowledge of green building standards and sustainable design practices (e.g. IFC EDGE LEED or equivalent).
• Familiarity with local building codes engineering standards and approval processes.
• Proficiency in engineering design and analysis software (e.g. AutoCAD Revit MEP).
