We are seeking a highly experienced and detail-oriented **Senior MEP Inspector (Electrical)** having DM -Unlimited Certified to join our consultancy team. Detailed duties and responsibilities categorized by project phase. 1. Pre-Construction & Material Review Before the first pipe is laid or wire pulled, the Senior Inspector ensures the "ingredients" for the project are correct. * **Material Inspection Requests (MIR):** Review all MEP materials delivered to the site to ensure they match the approved technical submittals and project specifications. * **Shop Drawing Review:** Cross-check approved shop drawings against site conditions to identify potential coordination clashes between HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing services before installation begins. * **Method Statement Review:** Evaluate the contractor's proposed installation methods to ensure they follow industry best practices and safety standards. 2. Site Supervision & Quality Control This is the core of the role, requiring constant presence on the "field" to monitor workmanship. * **Work Inspection Requests (WIR):** Conduct formal inspections of installed MEP works (e.g., ductwork, piping, cable trays, firefighting systems) and either approve, approve with comments, or reject the work. * **Snagging & Reporting:** Identify defects or poor workmanship. Issue **Non-Conformance Reports (NCR)** or **Field Observation Reports (FOR)** when the contractor deviates from the design or quality standards. * **Compliance Monitoring:** Ensure all installations comply with local authority regulations (e.g., DEWA, ADDC, Civil Defense) and international codes like NFPA or British Standards. 3.

Coordination & Progress Management * **MEP Coordination:** Resolve physical conflicts between different services (e.g., a large AC duct blocking a fire sprinkler line) in real-time on-site. * **Progress Tracking:** Compare actual site progress against the approved project schedule and report any potential delays to the Resident Engineer or Project Manager. * **Quantity Verification:** Assist the Quantity Surveyor in verifying the percentage of MEP work completed for monthly payment certifications. 5. Handover & Documentation * **As-Built Drawings:** Review the contractor’s "As-Built" drawings to ensure they accurately reflect what was actually installed on-site. * **O&M Manuals:** Ensure that **Operation & Maintenance Manuals** and spare parts lists are complete and provided to the client. * **Final Snag List:** Participate in the final walk-through to create a comprehensive list of minor items that must be corrected before the project is officially closed.
