Job Summary

• Acts as the client’s technical representative on-site, supervising and auditing the mechanical contractors' installations (HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and drainage).

• Ensures the entire mechanical scope of the project is delivered strictly according to design specifications, international engineering codes, and Lagos state regulatory frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

Construction Supervision & Quality Assurance (QA / QC):

• Conducts continuous, rigorous field inspections to monitor the contractor's mechanical installations (HVAC ducting, chilled water piping, central drainage, and fire hydrant networks).


• Uses extensive contractor-side experience to proactively identify installation errors, corner-cutting, sub-standard workmanship, or unauthorized design deviations.


• Issues Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) to contractors when work fails to meet project specifications or safety standards, and monitors corrective actions.


• Witnesses and certifies all critical mechanical testing and commissioning phases (e.g., pipe pressure tests, duct acoustic/leakage testing, fire pump flow tests, and balancing).

Drawing Review & Technical Auditing:

• Critically reviews and approves / rejects the contractor’s BIM (Revit) models, shop drawings, and builders’ work drawings before site execution.


• Evaluates contractor material submittals and technical data sheets to verify exact compliance with the consultant’s design specifications.


• Resolves complex design clashes and coordinates mechanical structural openings across architectural, structural, and electrical consultant teams.

Contract Administration & Financial Control:

• Reviews, audits, and signs off on the mechanical contractor’s monthly progress valuations and joint measurements alongside the Quantity Surveyor.


• Assesses the technical and financial merit of contractor-submitted Variation Orders (VOs) and claims, defending the client against unsubstantiated costs.


• Evaluates and approves the contractor's "As-Built" drawings and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) manuals prior to building handover.

Lagos Regulatory Enforcement:

• Ensures the contractor’s methods align fully with the National Building Code of Nigeria (NBC).


• Coordinates and prepares the mechanical project technical documentation required for formal structural handovers and inspections by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA).

Required Qualifications & Competencies

Education & Professional Licensing:

• Bachelor’s Degree (B.Eng / B.Sc) in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university.


• Mandatory Active Registration with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) as a Registered Engineer.


• Corporate Membership with the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) or NIMechE.


• Valid NYSC discharge or exemption certificate.

Experience Profile:

• Minimum of 10 years of total post-qualification experience in building services engineering.


• Dual-Perspective Track Record: Must have a blended career history, featuring significant time spent executing projects on-site for a reputable MEP Contractor, alongside experience working in a Consultant/Supervisory capacity.


• Proven experience representing consultants on active major building sites (high-rise residential, mixed-use commercial, or industrial plants) within Lagos.

Technical & Soft Skills:

• Deep expertise in international building services codes used in Nigeria (ASHRAE, NFPA, IPC, British Standards).


• Mastery in reading and evaluating complex Revit (BIM) and AutoCAD drawings.


• Assertive communication and negotiation skills needed to confidently manage, direct, and hold contractors accountable on-site.


• Impeccable technical report writing skills (site inspection logs, project milestone reports, and structural punch-lists).
