- Provide technical guidance, supervision, and mentorship to the on-site team.
- Maintain site documentation and reports using Excel, Word, and relevant software tools (including Copilot).

Requirements:
- Strong working knowledge of M&E building services.
- Experience managing or supervising engineering teams in a commercial or residential setting.
