Ensure compliance with international standards, local codes, airport/aviation regulations, fuel hydrant systems and project performance requirements.

2. Technical Oversight

Monitor MEP engineering solutions to ensure safety, energy efficiency, reliability, and maintainability.

Identify potential MEP-related risks and provide mitigation recommendations.

Oversee commissioning readiness of MEP systems, including testing and handover requirements.

3. Interface Management

Coordinate MEP design interfaces with architectural, structural, and airport-systems disciplines (e.g. baggage handling, security, IT/ELV).

Support resolution of technical design issues between the EPC Contractor, PMC, and specialist systems contractors.

4. SPV Technical Support

Provide MEP engineering expertise to support the SPV's design review and approval process.

Participate in technical reviews, workshops, and design coordination meetings.

Review MEP-related tenant and concession fit-out designs for compliance with base-building systems and capacity.

5. Sustainability & Performance

Support energy efficiency and sustainability targets in MEP design, including lifecycle cost and operational efficiency considerations.
