Are you looking to progress your career by working on Britain’s biggest construction project?

Balfour Beatty VINCI is working with a range of organisations to design and build 90km West Midlands stretch of HS2 - Britain’s new high speed railway. Our work is essential to enable HS2 trains to travel between London and Birmingham as well as continue their journey up. It’s an incredibly exciting time to join us - we’re at peak construction with work really ramping up on a broad range of assets including bridges, tunnels and viaducts. Plus you’d join 9,000 people across 72 nationalities working on this exciting section of HS2 across the region.

We currently have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Technical Design Coordinator within the Specialist Services function. This role will be based on site in Kingsbury, Birmingham.

Role Responsibilities:

• MEP Coordination: Experience in coordinating and managing MEP systems within large-scale construction projects, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. This involves ensuring seamless integration of these systems into the overall building design.
• Project Management: Proven ability to manage the delivery of MEP packages, including scheduling, budgeting, and contractor management. Experience in overseeing multiple trades and ensuring that all MEP systems are installed correctly and on schedule.
• Technical Knowledge: A strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for industrial or commercial buildings. This includes knowledge of power distribution, ventilation systems, and water management.
