Support VDC efforts by offering technical guidance to ensure BIM models and fabrication drawings meet engineering standards and field constructability requirements.

Project Execution & Technical Support

Serve as a technical resource for construction teams, offering engineering consultation, problem-solving, and design modifications throughout project execution.

Lead or support the commissioning (Cx) and startup processes to ensure seamless project transitions, optimal system performance, and high-quality delivery.

Provide engineering oversight for R&D initiatives in modular prefabrication, including the design of mechanical racks, skids, and offsite fabrication systems.

Talent Development & Mentorship

Minimum of 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, with substantial experience in Design-Build or construction environments.

Demonstrated success in managing engineering teams and external consultants on complex commercial or industrial projects.
