SBU Head - Design Coordination (Architecture, Structural & MEP)

Purpose/Objective End to end responsible for: • project design integration under D&B by converting product intent into organization’s Requirements and coordinated deliverables. • stage-gate reviews and interface management across Arch–Str–MEP to ensure buildability, compliance and cost alignment. • design change governance with quantified impacts, protecting baselines and reducing claims and rework. • construction-stage design assurance via submittal reviews, mockups and deviation control without duplicating PMC. • Ensures transparent MIS, audit-ready records and SLA-driven closures across stakeholders. Key Responsibilities of Role Define and maintain organization’s Requirements, design briefs and technical standards for the project. Run design coordination meetings and gate reviews resolve Arch–Str–MEP interfaces and clash issues early. Ensure authority-aligned drawings and specifications are submission-ready support regulatory query closures Review critical shop drawings, samples and mockups through agreed workflow manage deviation approvals Drive value engineering options quantify impacts on cost, schedule, performance and lifecycle outcomes Control design changes through change management assess impacts and obtain approvals as per governance. Coordinate BIM expectations and document control to ensure correct versions and traceability.
