• Support project teams in addressing engineering requirements arising from Property Improvement Plans (PIPs) for existing hotels, proposed conversions, and adaptive reuse properties
• Coordinate review of 50% and 100% Engineering Construction Documents (CDs) for MEP & FLS systems, helping track alignment with brand standards and flagging items for the operator's consideration, and confirm that design review comments have been incorporated prior to construction commencing
• Comment on the incorporation of ESG (Environmental and Sustainability Governance) and energy and water efficiency strategies into project design, in coordination with the operator's AD&C team
• Coordinate review of primary construction submittals and shop drawings, highlighting items for the operator's consideration against brand standards and prototype drawings
• Participate in Value Engineering (VE) coordination and review, helping identify efficient and cost-effective construction practices for the operator's consideration
• Visit project sites as needed during construction to help confirm alignment with submitted and approved plans and CDs, raising observations promptly and following up with written correspondence
• Track engineering requirements and changes to brand standards, channelling recommendations to the operator to reflect best industry practices and regional particularities
