materials manager mep

Conduct ongoing market research for key MEP systems and packages (e.g., HVAC plant, ductwork, pipework, electrical distribution, lighting, UPS/generators, fire protection, controls/BMS), tracking price movements, availability, lead times, and supplier/installer capacity. Develop and maintain an MEP materials intelligence library including preferred manufacturers and installers, approved products, technical datasheets, compliance certificates (e.g., CE) and warranties.

Support MEP design development by proposing technically compliant alternatives to equipment and system selections, evaluating cost, performance, energy impact, constructability, program impact, maintainability, and supply risk.

Create and maintain MEP price logs, long-lead trackers (e.g., chillers, switchgear, transformers, generators, BMS), and supplier/contractor contact lists; regularly issue updates to internal stakeholders.

Engage with manufacturers and MEP contractors to understand product roadmaps, production capacity, testing requirements, spares/consumables, and aftersales support, and support mitigation actions such as dual sourcing and early procurement.

Support procurement planning by packaging MEP materials and systems for sourcing (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire), recommending contracting strategies, and defining technical/commercial evaluation criteria with project stakeholders, while preparing MEP option comparisons and recommendations that clearly set out technical compliance, assumptions, exclusions, risks, and cost/program/operational impacts for approvals.

Collaborate with Commercial to align MEP benchmarks with cost plans and budgets and to support value engineering initiatives, ensure MEP sourcing activities comply with internal procurement policies, ethical sourcing requirements, applicable codes/standards, and project quality, environmental, and H&S requirements, maintain accurate documentation for MEP enquiries, quotations, technical clarifications, comparisons, and recommendations ensuring full traceability and audit-ready records, identify and mitigate MEP supply and delivery risks and propose contingency plans, continuously improve MEP templates, pricing logs, and databases, and promote standardization and preferred MEP solutions by supporting category strategies and coordinating alignment with Design and Delivery.
