About The Position

The Constructability Coordinator is the primary constructability interface among Engineering, Construction, Commissioning and Startup (CSU), the Client, Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), utility providers, and other key stakeholders during project development and preconstruction. The role leads integration of Mechanical, Electrical, and Piping (MEP) systems, commissioning and turnover requirements, site logistics, permitting, utility coordination, and early works into design and execution planning. The coordinator leads multidisciplinary reviews, identifies and helps resolve execution risks, and develops practical strategies to support safe, efficient, and predictable project delivery from concept development through construction, systems completion, startup, and facility handover. The role is based in Houston, Texas, with full-time office/project telework and national family relocation authorized.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or international equivalent and 10–13 years of relevant experience, or 14–17 years of relevant work experience.
Advanced knowledge of MEP systems, multidisciplinary constructability, construction methods, installation sequencing, modularization, prefabrication, site logistics, early works, and interdisciplinary interface management.
Knowledge of systems completion, systemization, commissioning, startup, turnover boundaries, testing, energization, operational readiness, and facility handover requirements.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate and lead constructability reviews, evaluate engineering and procurement deliverables, identify execution risks, and develop practical recommendations that improve safety, quality, cost, and schedule outcomes.
Working knowledge of AWP, workface planning, execution-readiness criteria, constraint management, permitting, inspections, AHJ requirements, utility coordination, occupancy requirements, and regulatory approvals.
Ability to lead complex interfaces and influence Engineering, Construction, CSU, Client, Operations, regulatory agencies, utility providers, suppliers, and other stakeholders without direct authority.
Strong leadership, facilitation, communication, organization, technical judgment, risk-management, and problem-solving skills, including the ability to maintain action tracking, lessons learned, readiness status, and clear stakeholder reporting.

Responsibilities

Lead multidisciplinary constructability reviews for MEP, utility, and mission-critical systems, coordinating construction input into engineering deliverables, procurement packages, execution plans, and design development.
Identify and coordinate resolution of design, installation, access, sequencing, operability, maintainability, and interdisciplinary concerns; maintain constructability action logs, lessons learned, decisions, and implementation status.
Coordinate MEP execution strategies with Construction, CSU, Operations, and Client requirements, including systemization, turnover boundaries, completion plans, commissioning sequencing, and Division of Responsibility matrices.
Ensure testing, energization, flushing, balancing, startup, maintainability, accessibility, and long-term reliability requirements are incorporated into engineering, procurement, construction, and turnover planning.
Coordinate BIM-enabled constructability reviews and provide construction input on equipment layouts, modularization, prefabrication, installation sequencing, value engineering, and design optimization.
Serve as a primary preconstruction interface with Client engineering, operations, commissioning, and project teams; facilitate workshops for operational readiness, turnover planning, startup sequencing, training, and facility handover.
Coordinate with municipalities, AHJs, fire authorities, licensing agencies, and utility providers regarding permits, inspections, testing, certifications, occupancy requirements, and temporary and permanent utility services; integrate requirements into project plans and schedules.
Lead development of site logistics and early works strategies, including access, traffic routing, laydown, material flow, temporary facilities, workforce support infrastructure, temporary utilities, enabling works, utility relocations, underground infrastructure, roads, stormwater systems, and site preparation.
Support Advanced Work Packaging, workface planning, and execution-readiness activities by defining readiness criteria and tracking constraints affecting planned work.
Lead constructability-based risk reviews and mitigation planning; identify design, procurement, interface, permitting, logistics, startup, safety, quality, and schedule risks, communicate required actions, and support resolution.
