Job Description:

Parsons are looking for a seasoned Senior Project Manager: Station (MEP) to join their team!

The Senior Project Manager: Station MEP (PMC) is a senior, client‑facing role responsible for managing the end‑to‑end design and build process of station MEP works on major rail/transit or complex infrastructure projects.

This is a non‑operational position focused on project and design management, technical assurance, and contractor oversight on behalf of the client, ensuring that all MEP systems for stations (and associated ancillary buildings) are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in full compliance with the employer’s requirements, codes, and standards.

The role requires approximately 15 years of experience in building or rail MEP (mechanical, electrical, public health, fire & life safety, ELV systems), including substantial experience in design management and construction supervision, ideally within a PMC, consulting engineer, or client organization.

What You'll Be Doing;

• Act as the primary PMC point of contact for all station MEP matters, representing the client in meetings with designers, contractors, authorities, and other stakeholders.
• Ensure that the employer’s requirements, contracts, and design briefs for station MEP systems are clearly communicated, understood, and implemented.
• Provide independent, objective advice and recommendations to the client on technical, program, commercial, and risk issues related to station MEP works.
• Manage and oversee the full MEP design lifecycle for stations: concept, schematic, detailed design, and IFC stages.
• Review and comment on design submissions, drawings, calculations, models, and specifications for HVAC, power distribution, lighting, fire protection, plumbing and drainage, vertical transportation, ELV/BMS, and life safety systems.
• Ensure design compliance with employer’s requirements, project technical standards, local codes, international standards, fire and life safety regulations, and authority requirements.
• Chair and coordinate design review meetings, value engineering and constructability workshops, and multi‑discipline coordination sessions (architecture, structure, rail systems, civil).
• Oversee requirements management and traceability, design verification and validation, and close‑out of design review comments.
• Ensure interfaces between MEP, architecture, structure, rail systems, and station operations are identified and resolved at design stage.
• Support the preparation and review of technical sections of tender documents, scopes of work, and employer’s requirements for station MEP packages.
• Review and evaluate technical proposals, clarifications, and deviations from contractors and suppliers; provide recommendations to the client for award.
• Assist in contract negotiations and post‑award technical clarifications with MEP contractors and key vendors.
• From a PMC perspective, oversee and manage construction and installation activities for station MEP systems, ensuring alignment with approved designs, specifications, and quality standards.
• Monitor contractor construction methodologies, sequencing, and resource planning for MEP works; challenge and improve where needed.
• Coordinate resolution of site technical issues and RFIs in collaboration with design consultants and contractors.
• Track and manage MEP interfaces with civil works, finishes, systems integration, and other trades to avoid clashes and rework.
• Monitor compliance with project HSE requirements during MEP construction activities, and support the client’s HSE objectives.
• Review and approve, on behalf of the client, testing and commissioning strategies, plans, procedures, and integrated test schedules for station MEP systems.
• Monitor execution of pre‑commissioning, functional performance tests, integrated systems testing, and life‑safety commissioning through reports and selective site attendance.
• Review test results, non‑conformance reports, and snag lists; ensure timely rectification and closure by contractors.
• Coordinate with operations, maintenance, and systems teams to ensure that MEP systems meet handover, operability, maintainability, and life‑cycle requirements.
• Oversee completion and quality of as‑built documentation, O&M manuals, training materials, and handover deliverables.
• Manage and track station MEP design and construction activities against the approved master schedule and key milestones.
• Identify critical path activities and dependencies affecting MEP delivery; initiate recovery plans where schedule slippage occurs.
• Monitor MEP‑related costs, variations, and potential claims; support the client in negotiation and resolution.
• Maintain and regularly update risk registers for station MEP works, identifying mitigation measures and contingency plans.
• Provide accurate, timely progress reports, dashboards, and presentations for the client’s senior management and governance committees.
• Coordinate with client internal departments (Operations, Maintenance, Safety, Security, IT, Commercial, etc.) to ensure MEP designs and installations meet operational and business requirements.
• Interface with local authorities (e.g., civil defense, utility providers, building control) to support timely approvals, NOCs, inspections, and permits.
• Facilitate coordination between multiple design consultants, contractors, systems integrators, and third parties involved in station delivery.
• Lead and mentor a team of station MEP engineers and specialists working within the PMC team.
• Promote a culture of quality, safety, and proactive risk management across all MEP‑related activities.
• Ensure that robust quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) processes are applied to MEP design and construction deliverables.
• Support knowledge transfer, continuous improvement, and lessons learned across the program.

What Required Skills You'll Bring;

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Building Services, or related Engineering discipline.
• Master’s degree in Engineering, Project Management, or related field is an advantage.
• Professional engineering registration or chartership (CEng, PE) is highly desirable.
• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2) is an advantage.
• Minimum 15 years’ experience in MEP engineering for major buildings (early career) AND rail/transit stations (current & essential), with substantial design and site supervision exposure.
• Significant experience working within a PMC, client organization, or international consultancy on large, multi‑discipline infrastructure or transportation projects.
• Demonstrated track record managing station or complex building MEP packages from design through testing and commissioning.
• Strong experience coordinating multi‑discipline designs and managing contractors and vendors.
• Prior experience on rail/metro stations or other complex, public‑use facilities (airports, hospitals, large commercial developments) is highly advantageous.
• Deep technical understanding of station MEP systems: HVAC, power distribution, emergency power, lighting, public health, fire protection, fire alarm, BMS/SCADA, ELV systems, and life‑safety strategies.
• Strong knowledge of relevant local codes, international standards, and fire and life safety regulations.
• Proven ability to manage complex design and construction processes, with strong planning and organizational skills.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills in a multi‑cultural, multi‑discipline environment.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and decision‑making capabilities, with a focus on risk and issue management.
• High level of professionalism, integrity, and client‑service orientation.
• Proficiency with standard project management and office tools; familiarity with BIM/Revit and common CDE/document control systems is an advantage.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken); Arabic is ideal
