Position Summary
The Technical Services Manager serves as the primary interface between engineering and construction, ensuring all technical aspects of design are effectively translated into executable field solutions. This role is responsible for resolving engineering-related technical issues during construction, driving constructability, managing RFIs and design clarifications, and ensuring alignment between design intent and field execution.
This position is critical in enabling a construction-driven delivery model, minimizing rework, accelerating decision-making, and ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality project execution.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering–Construction Interface Leadership
- Act as the single point of contact for all technical issues between engineering and construction teams
- Ensure alignment between design intent, specifications, and field execution
- Facilitate real-time communication between:
- Engineering disciplines (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical)
- Construction management and field supervision
Technical Issue Resolution
- RFIs (Requests for Information)
- Field design changes and deviations
- Constructability challenges
- Interdisciplinary clashes
- Drive timely turnaround of engineering clarifications to avoid schedule impacts
- Recognize and prioritize resolution of issues based on impact to schedule, quality and cost
- Provide technical interpretation of drawings, specifications, and vendor documents
Constructability & Execution Optimization
- Lead constructability reviews during:
- Pre-construction / planning phase
- Active construction phase
- Identify opportunities to:
- Improve installation sequencing
- Reduce field labor and rework
- Enable modularization and prefabrication
- Drive Value Engineering wherever possible and practical
- Ensure designs are aligned with means and methods of construction
Change Management & Field Engineering
- Support development and implementation of:
- Field change notices (FCNs)
- Engineering change requests (ECRs)
- Evaluate technical and commercial impacts of design changes
- Ensure proper documentation and traceability of all technical changes
Vendor & Equipment Technical Coordination
- Interface with vendors on:
- Equipment installation requirements
- Technical submittals and shop drawings
- Commissioning and startup requirements
- Ensure vendor data is fully integrated into construction execution plans
Commissioning & Turnover Support
- Support commissioning team with:
- System turnover documentation validation
- Ensure systems are constructed in accordance with design and performance requirements
Digital & Drawing Control Integration
- Ensure field teams are working from latest IFC drawings and revisions
- Coordinate with document control for proper version management
- Support integration with:
- Digital field tools (Procore, Autodesk Build)
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or related)
- 8+ years of experience in EPC projects (construction, engineering, or field engineering roles)
- Multidiscipline engineering design
- Construction execution and sequencing
- Experience on large-scale industrial projects (data centers, power, oil & gas, or similar)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in data center or mission-critical facility construction
- Background in both engineering and construction roles (highly preferred)
- Modularization and prefabrication strategies
- Commissioning processes (Level 1–5, IST)
- PE license (optional but preferred)
Key Competencies
- Strong technical problem-solving and decision-making ability
- Ability to translate engineering concepts into field execution
- High sense of urgency and accountability
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management
- Strong understanding of construction-driven project delivery
Tools & Systems
- Engineering platforms (AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks)
- Project systems (Procore, Autodesk Build, Aconex)
- Microsoft Office Suite (advanced Excel preferred)
