Company Description

BJF Group is a leading multi-discipline Main Contractor based across the UK, specialising in delivering high-quality construction projects across various sectors - priding ourselves of our reputation for excellence and attention to detail.

Within our MEP division, the engineering team plays a crucial role in the day-to-day delivery of planned works across a diverse range of properties and systems within large Mechanical, Plumbing & Electrical contracts.

Position

To lead the MEP pre-construction strategy, managing the design consultants and supply chain through Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 submittals to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). This role ensures that all MEP technical designs are compliant, buildable, and properly linked to procurement schedules for value engineering options and better buying in a timely project commencement and safe handover.

Manage MEP design consultants to deliver detailed Gateway 2 technical submissions, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations.
Co-ordinate the "Golden Thread" of information to maintain accurate building records for Gateway 3 handover.
Review MEP documentation for compliance, ensuring it is realistic, not based on "unreasonable assumptions" for occupancy, and meets BSR requirements.
Challenge design solutions for buildability, efficiency, and maintenance access to prevent BSR rejection.
Manage the Change Control process for MEP elements between Gateway 2 and 3.

2. Consultant Management & Design Coordination

Direct MEP consultants on deliverables schedule to align with procurement and construction start dates.
Oversee design reviews, ITPs (Inspection and Test Plans), and technical submissions.
Coordinate between mechanical, electrical, public health, and fire services teams to identify design gaps.
Oversee early engagement with specialist subcontractors to confirm design feasibility.

3. Procurement & Technical Integration

Link MEP design milestones directly to procurement packages, supporting cost planners with timely technical data.
Provide technical input during tender stages for MEP packages, including scope of works development.
Run buildability workshops to identify opportunities for value engineering and pre-fabrication.
Review supply chain tenders (CDP packages) to ensure they align with the approved Gateway 2 design.

Requirements

Experience: Proven experience in a Pre-Construction MEP Manager role, preferably within a developer or tier-one contractor.
Regulations: Strong understanding of the Building Safety Act 2022, specifically Gateway 2 (Building Control Approval) and Gateway 3 (Completion Certificate) requirements.
Technical Skill: Background in building services engineering with excellent technical insight into mechanical, electrical, and public health systems.
Management: Strong capability to manage external design consultants and challenge designs constructively.
Commercial Awareness: Ability to link design decisions with procurement strategy and cost control.

Desired Competencies

Strong communication and leadership skills.
Attention to detail and accuracy (essential for BSR approval).
Ability to work under pressure to meet tight submission deadlines.
