Building Services; MEP Manager

Position: Building Services (MEP) Manager

Role Overview
The Building Services Manager will oversee all MEP, HVAC, fire safety, and vertical transportation systems within a sensitive historical restoration.

Key Responsibilities

MEP Strategy:
Design and install high-efficiency HVAC (anti-saline coastal air units), smart lighting, and BMS systems hidden within existing fabric.
Venice-Specific Logistics:
Coordinate delivery of boilers, chillers, and generators via vaporetti (water buses) and temporary floating cranes; manage “last 100m” hand-cart logistics.
Flood Mitigation:
Design and maintain mobile flood barriers, sump pumps, and raised MEP basements to counteract Acqua Alta (high water).
Compliance:
Liaise with Comune di Venezia and Soprintendenza for approvals on external condenser units, flues, and roof penetrations.
Luxury Standards:
Ensure zero vibration, silent operation (sound masking), and instantaneous hot water delivery to suites.
Sustainability:
Integrate lagoon-source heat pumps and greywater recycling to achieve LEED Gold or equivalent.

Requirements

10+ years in Building Services, with 5+ years in high-end hospitality or heritage projects.
