## Description

WSP is currently seeking a MEP Engineer – Construction Administration (CA) to support the successful execution of building projects across a variety of market sectors, including commercial, healthcare, higher education, science & technology, and industrial facilities.

This role is ideal for a construction-focused MEP professional who enjoys being embedded on site, partnering with contractors, owners, architects, IORs, HCAI/OSHPD field staff, and internal design teams to verify MEP systems are installed in accordance with approved documents, design intent, applicable codes, and WSP quality standards.

- Review and coordinate responses to RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, deferred approvals, product data, field reports, and other construction-phase documentation for MEP systems.

- Maintain regular on-site presence; perform field observations, IOR coordination, punch walks, and follow-up reviews to verify installation quality, constructability, code compliance, and alignment with approved HCAI/OSHPD documents.

- Support issue resolution in collaboration with contractors, IORs, HCAI/OSHPD field staff, architects, owners, and internal project teams.

- Review change orders, field directives, and proposed substitutions; assist with field clarifications, constructability evaluations, and assessment of cost/schedule impacts.

- Coordinate with internal mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, fire/life safety, medical equipment, and architectural teams to resolve field conflicts, above-ceiling coordination issues, utility tie-ins, and live healthcare environment constraints.

- Support commissioning, start‑up reviews, and close‑out documentation as required.

- Assist with QA/QC reviews to ensure alignment with WSP standards, approved construction documents, HCAI/OSHPD comments, contract requirements, and project-specific healthcare criteria.

- Communicate clearly and professionally with clients, contractors, IORs, HCAI/OSHPD field staff, design professionals, and project stakeholders during OAC meetings, construction meetings, site walks, and issue-resolution discussions.

**Requirements**

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, Building Sciences, or a related discipline; or an equivalent combination of education, HCAI/OSHPD healthcare construction experience, Inspector of Record (IOR) experience, construction administration, field inspection, commissioning, or contractor-side project delivery experience.

- Minimum 7+ years of experience supporting building system projects, with a strong emphasis on construction administration.

- Hands‑on experience reviewing and interpreting construction documents, specifications, and submittal packages.

- Working knowledge of MEP systems including HVAC, hydronic systems, air distribution, infection-control/pressure relationship requirements, domestic water, sanitary, storm, specialty waste, and medical gas systems.

- Familiarity with applicable codes and standards, including California Building Standards Code/Title 24, HCAI/OSHPD requirements, ASHRAE, NFPA, IBC, IPC/CPC, FGI Guidelines, and local AHJs.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.

- Proficiency with Bluebeam, and construction management platforms; ability to navigate construction drawings, models, submittal logs, RFI logs, and field documentation efficiently.

- Current or prior experience serving as, or directly coordinating with, an HCAI/OSHPD Inspector of Record (IOR) on California healthcare projects. HCAI Certified Hospital Inspector Class A or Class B certification is strongly preferred; Class C specialty certification may be considered where aligned with project scope.
