Why This Role Matters

The Head of MEP is responsible for the strategic establishment, scaling and operational leadership of BESIX Middle East’s in-house MEP self-perform capability.

The role’s primary objective is to secure delivery certainty, cost control and risk mitigation on BESIX projects by integrating MEP works directly into Tender (TEC), Design (DED), Planning, Procurement and Site Execution while simultaneously creating a stand‑alone profitable MEP P&L.

This is a start‑up and transformation role requiring strong commercial discipline, deep execution experience and the ability to build a full MEP organisation (people, processes, supply chain and governance) without creating a siloed subcontractor mentality.

Strategic Setup & Integration (Core Mandate)

  • Establish BESIX’s in‑house MEP self‑perform model in line with the approved strategic integration framework.
  • Ensure MEP is fully embedded into Tender Engineering & Estimation (TEC), Design & Engineering (DED), Planning & Project Controls, Central Procurement and Site execution teams.
  • Prevent the creation of an isolated MEP subcontractor structure; enforce One‑Team delivery.
  • Define and implement the MEP operating model including scope boundaries, risk allocation principles and cash‑flow control mechanisms.
  • Act as the executive sponsor for initial projects (e.g. Ajman Phase 3 Center of Excellence, STP, Data Centers).

Full P&L Ownership

  • Own the MEP business P&L including gross margin, overheads, cash flow and revenue.
  • Ensure MEP projects are self‑funding with strict cash‑flow discipline (advance payments, material payments, milestone billing).
  • Define and manage MEP overhead recovery strategy and internal pricing principles for BESIX projects.
  • Prepare and present monthly P&L, cash‑flow and risk reports to regional management.

    • Organisation Build‑Up & Manpower Strategy

  • Design and implement the MEP organisation structure including labour, foremen, general foremen, site superintendents, engineers and construction managers.
  • Lead recruitment of key leadership roles followed by scalable site manpower.
  • Establish labour sourcing strategies (direct labour, selective outsourcing framework, partner partners).
  • Define clear competency, productivity and performance benchmarks for MEP staff and labour.
  • Ensure compliance with local labour regulations and BESIX HR standards.

    • Procurement & Supply Chain Leadership

  • Ensure timely and integrated procurement for all awarded projects.
  • Establish strategic supplier partnerships, long‑term agreements for key MEP materials and equipment, and an approved vendor list aligned with BESIX ethics and compliance standards.
  • Coordinate with Group / Brussels procurement where applicable through the procurement team.
  • Align procurement with construction sequencing, cash‑flow planning and risk mitigation.
  • Prevent late procurement from becoming a critical path risk.

    • Project Delivery & Execution Oversight

  • Provide executive oversight to all MEP site teams.
  • Ensure programme adherence, quality compliance, and authority approvals (DEWA, SEWA, Civil Defence, etc.).
  • Actively intervene in high‑risk or delayed projects.
  • Ensure MEP execution supports overall project milestones and loss of delivery avoidance.
  • Promote constructability, modularisation and value engineering.

    • Governance, Risk & Controls

  • Apply BESIX Golden Rules tender governance and risk sign‑off discipline to all MEP works.
  • Accept no project without approved cash‑flow profile and clear risk allocation.
  • Implement cost control systems, progress measurement, and claims and variation management discipline.
  • Actively prevent industry failure patterns seen in legacy MEP contractors (e.g., underestimation of manpower).

    • Leadership & Culture

  • Build a high‑performance accountable MEP leadership team.
  • Embed BESIX values and safety culture within MEP execution.
  • Promote ownership, transparency, collaboration and a zero‑blame, high‑accountability environment.
  • Act as a visible leader across projects and shared services.

    • Qualifications :

    You’re a Great Fit If You Have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (Master’s preferred).
  • Minimum 20 years experience in large‑scale MEP delivery.
  • Proven experience in self‑perform MEP contracting, mega‑projects (buildings, infrastructure, utilities), P&L ownership, organisation start‑up or turnaround processes.
  • Middle East experience mandatory.
