About Kirby Group

Engineering

Kirby Group Engineering is an international multi-disciplinary engineering services contractor and leading

provider of high-value engineering services to a number of ‘blue chip’ companies. Operating across Ireland, the UK, Europe and

South Africa, Kirby has become the engineering service provider of choice in growth segments such as pharmaceuticals, data centres

and power transmission and distribution. Our culture is innovative, collaborative and performance focused. The successful

candidate will have the opportunity to grow and develop in a company committed to developing talent and rewarding performance.

The role of the Lead MEP Engineer is to lead and coordinate Mechanical,

Electrical, and CSA-adjacent interfaces from early project engagement through to delivery, acting as a key technical, coordination

and decision interface between Kirby Group Engineering (KGE), the client, FIA team, AE, PMC, SPCs, and key vendors.

The

Lead MEP Engineer is responsible and accountable for driving the day to day MEP interface coordination, managing interfaces,

ensuring technical clarity of scope, maintaining alignment with internal KGE procedures, and providing confidence to the client

through structured planning, tracking, and proactive issue resolution. This role requires strong client-facing capability,

engineering judgement, and ownership of complex interfaces across OFE, CSA, and MEP scopes.

Key

Responsibilities

• Management
• Support the Engineering & BIM leads through

execution of defined project engineering tasks and coordination activities.

• Undertake project reviews and support risk

assessments from an engineering and MEP interface perspective.

• Provide technical input and assistance to Pre‑Construction

and BIM coordination

• Identify CDP Elements across all disciplines and perform a risk assessment on all items identified.

Agree package deliverables with specialists and take all necessary steps to derisk the scope.

• Assist with identification

and engagement of specialist design consultants and subcontractors where required.

• Produce a weekly report detailing

engineering progress, completed activities, upcoming actions, and highlighting areas of concern and potential risks, issued in a

timely manner to the Project Manager [PM] and Engineering Manager [EM].

• Provide engineering support and guidance to

project teams on MEP, interface, and constructability issues.

• Liaise with client, FIA, PMC, AE, and suppliers on

technical coordination matters and emerging engineering challenges.

• Support continuous improvement of engineering

procedures, checklists, and trackers through lessons learned.

• Support MEP teams and track project‑level engineering KPIs

and progress metrics. Highlighting corrective actions where performance deviates.

• Manage and coordinate all assigned

aspects of the works from project setup through to client handover, ensuring engineering activities are aligned with programme and

contractual requirements.

• Escalate to the EM and PM any matters impacting cost, programme, contractual requirements,

local statutory compliance or design responsibility.

EHS

• Read

and understand the Project EHS Plan and ensure engineering decisions support safe construction and commissioning.

• Identify and escalate design‑related safety and constructability risks at an early stage.
• Support the temporary works

coordination and compliance through Engineering input & interface coordination.

Procurement

• Identify and engage key vendors, OFE suppliers,

and subcontractors forming the basis of the construction delivery strategy.

• Support preparation and review of RFQ

technical inputs for MEP systems, interfaces, and specialist packages.

• Assist and pursue the evaluation of RFQ returns

for technical compliance and scope alignment.

• Support the development and updating of technical submittal and procurement

trackers.

• Liaise with vendors to obtain the technical data required for interface coordination and constructability

assessments.

Quality

• Review and understand

applicable Quality Plans, ITPs and testing procedures/requirements relevant to the MEP scope and as per the client’s quality

requirements.

• Ensure engineering deliverables (Technical Submittals, RFIs, drawings, benchmarks, reports, calculations)

are complete, coordinated, and of a high standard.

• Arrange, issue invites for, and attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs)

and Site Attendance / Acceptance Tests (SATs) as required by the specification and ITPs.

• Ensure FAT/SAT/IST outcomes,

actions, and close‑outs are documented and tracked.

• Track and support closure of engineering‑related snags arising from

reviews, testing, and coordination activities during all handover phases.

Planning

• Understand how the project programme is constructed and how engineering

deliverables integrate into it.

• Coordinate early input from Planning, Constructability, Logistics, Commissioning, and OSM

teams.

• Track engineering deliverables against programme milestones and highlight risks to schedule adherence.
• Investigate feasibility of utilising KGE OSM facilities for applicable S‑code assemblies, including logistics and

transportation considerations.

Business Development

• Act as a competent technical representative of KGE in client and FIA interactions.
• Support technical workshops,

scope clarifications, and coordination sessions that reinforce client confidence.

• Escalate potential opportunities for

additional scope, value engineering, or follow‑on work through the PM or EM.
