MEP Inspector

About the role

The MEP Inspector will work on a prestigious heritage development in Riyadh, supporting the Construction Supervision Consultant team. This site‑based quality control position ensures that all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire & life safety installations meet approved designs, specifications, and LEED sustainability targets.

Key responsibilities

• Inspect HVAC installations: duct alignment, support spacing, vibration isolators, and insulation thickness.
• Monitor chilled water systems: pipe slopes, valve orientation, welding quality, and insulation continuity.
• Verify installation of valves, strainers, pumps, and piping accessories against approved submittals.
• Inspect fire protection systems, including pump room layout, hydrant connections, hose reels, and control panels.
• Witness mechanical system tests: pressure testing, leakage testing, flushing, balancing, and TAB reporting.
• Inspect electrical installations: conduit routing, cable tray fill ratios, cable laying, LV/ELV segregation, labeling, and terminations.
• Witness electrical tests: insulation resistance (megger), continuity, earth loop impedance, and loop checks.
• Oversee installation of switchgear, MDBs, SMDBs, distribution boards, and associated panels.
• Check functional operation of emergency lighting, exit signage, fire alarm systems, and ELV systems (BMS, security, ICT, access control, PA, CCTV).
• Ensure compliance with manufacturers' manuals, approved method statements, and project specifications throughout all MEP works.
• Coordinate clearances and interfaces with structural, architectural, and other MEP disciplines to avoid conflicts and rework.

Required profile

• Meticulous attention to detail and strong technical knowledge of MEP systems.
• Ability to enforce compliance with quality, safety, and LEED sustainability requirements.
• Experience working within a multidisciplinary site supervision team.
