Location: Barcelona, Spain

Project Type: Comprehensive urban development with sustainable infrastructures

Estimated MEP Budget: Significant within total development

Reports to: Project Manager PDS

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE Within the PM team, lead and supervise all MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) engineering aspects of the comprehensive urban development, including the integration of renewable energy systems, installations for 900 homes, public and tertiary buildings. Ensure the design, coordination and implementation of all technical installations from industrial structure rehabilitation to complete development of the residential and tertiary complex.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES Energy Systems Design and Coordination: Supervise the design and implementation of the comprehensive geothermal system for heating and cooling throughout the entire development (housing + public/tertiary buildings). Coordinate the integration of the photovoltaic installation with the complex's general electrical grid. Manage the interconnection between renewable systems and the conventional electrical grid.

Utilities and Service Infrastructure Management: Design and supervise all electricity, gas, water and drainage connections for the complete development. Coordinate with utility companies on capacity planning, routing and connection points. Ensure adequate sizing for housing and complementary buildings, considering future demands and backup systems.

MEP Integration in Prefabricated Construction: Coordinate MEP installations with prefabricated housing elements (bathroom modules, kitchens, façades). Supervise pre-installation of systems in modular elements and their subsequent connection with general networks. Optimise interfaces between prefabricated systems and building general installations.

Multidisciplinary Coordination: Collaborate closely with structural rehabilitation, decontamination and urbanisation teams to ensure optimal installation routing. Coordinate with the Project Manager on MEP work sequencing in relation to other specialities. Manage critical interfaces between temporary construction installations and permanent systems.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS Academic Qualifications: University degree in Industrial, Electrical, Mechanical or Building Services Engineering. Master's in Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency or MEP systems specialisation will be highly valued.

Professional Experience: Minimum 8 years in large-scale MEP project management, with demonstrable experience in residential developments of more than 500 homes. Previous experience in projects combining industrial rehabilitation with new residential construction.

Specific Experience Required: Proven experience in geothermal systems for large-scale residential developments, including ground source field design, heat exchange plants and distribution networks.

Knowledge of commercial solar photovoltaic installations, especially on unconventional structures and grid connection with shared self-consumption systems.

Experience in MEP coordination with prefabricated elements, including pre-installations in bathroom and kitchen modules, dimensional coordination and connections with building general networks.

SPECIALISED TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES Integrated Energy Systems: Expertise in design and sizing of low-enthalpy geothermal systems for large developments. Advanced knowledge of electrical self-consumption regulations, grid connections and intelligent energy management. Familiarity with specialised energy simulation and installation calculation software.

Regulations and Certifications: Mastery of the Technical Building Code (CTE), especially DB-HE (Energy Saving) and DB-HS (Health). Knowledge of energy certifications (BREEAM, LEED, Passivhaus) and Barcelona municipal regulations for installations. Experience with special installation licensing procedures.

BIM Coordination and Digital Technologies: Advanced competency in BIM modelling for MEP installations, preferably with Revit MEP or similar. Experience in multidisciplinary coordination through federated models. Knowledge of intelligent building management systems (BEMS) and IoT for energy monitoring.

KEY COMPETENCIES Specialised Technical Leadership: Ability to lead highly specialised technical teams in different MEP disciplines, facilitating integration between traditional systems and innovative renewable technologies.

Complex Problem Solving: Exceptional ability to resolve technical conflicts between systems, especially in integrating new technologies with rehabilitated infrastructures and prefabricated construction.

Critical Interface Management: Experience managing multiple technical interfaces: renewable/conventional systems, prefabricated/traditional construction, temporary/permanent installations, and coordination with public services.

Sustainable Innovation Focus: Ability to implement innovative MEP solutions that maximise energy efficiency and sustainability, maintaining technical and economic viability in large-scale developments.

POSITION CONDITIONS High-level technical position with direct responsibility over one of the project's most complex aspects. Requires frequent coordination with multiple technical stakeholders and regular site presence during critical installation phases. Unique opportunity to lead the implementation of innovative MEP systems in one of Barcelona's most ambitious sustainable urban developments.
