Job Summary
To ensure seamless project execution and effective implementation of the TCDD process, InfraCredit seeks to engage the services of an in-house MEP Engineer to provide technical expertise in the design, assessment, and implementation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for housing developments under GRHEF, before interactions with TCDD consultants to ensure housing projects meet InfraCredit’s standards and increase the number of transactions reaching financial close. The MEP Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring that building services systems are efficient, cost-effective, climate-resilient, and aligned with sustainability standards, while also supporting overall project bankability and investment readiness. The MEP Engineer will work closely with the transaction team, including Transactors, Transaction Legal, and Transaction E&S, to manage the technical and sustainability components of housing deals from origination through project readiness, consultant engagement, TCDD reviews (desktop and site), credit approval and ongoing project monitoring after financial close.
Scope of Work:
The MEP Engineer’s responsibilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 InfraCredit’s MEP review and monitoring processes.
- Support the development of e-learning modules focused on MEP systems for green and climate-resilient housing.
