Openings: 1 Location: Nairobi – Westlands (Waiyaki Way / Church Rd ridge) Overview: A Grade-A building isn’t just concrete and glass; it’s a symphony of systems, and you’re the conductor. As the MEP Coordinator, you’ll orchestrate HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection trades so installations flow seamlessly and inspections pass without drama. Every coordination meeting, clash detection session, and look-ahead schedule you run keeps the site humming and the client smiling. Your desk work is strategic: reviewing IFC and shop drawings, red-lining updates, and drafting method statements and ITPs that translate into real-world execution. On-site, you’ll sequence trades, call off materials at just the right time, and liaise with authorities for permits or witness tests. Precision and timing are non-negotiable delays or clashes ripple across the whole project. The role blends foresight with responsiveness. You’ll track progress versus program, enforce QA/QC standards, and coach subcontractors on safety, turning a complex tangle of systems into a smooth, inspectable, and safe installation. Your efforts aren’t just about technical compliance, they keep a massive project running like clockwork. Success here sets you on a clear path: Senior MEP Coordinator, then MEP Manager, and ultimately Project Manager (MEP), giving you the reins over full-system delivery on Nairobi’s most sophisticated builds.
