**About NASS Group**

NASS Group & Corporation is a Bahrain contracting group. Nass MEP delivers mechanical, electrical and plumbing packages on building and infrastructure projects. This manager runs several MEP jobs at once from preconstruction through testing, commissioning and handover. You coordinate clients, main contractors, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams. Extra tasks come from the MEP Division Manager.

**About this vacancy**

You lead delivery so projects finish safely, on time, on budget and to contract, technical, quality and regulatory rules. You need leadership, commercial sense, MEP technical knowledge and project-management skill. This is not a single-site supervisor post and not a design-office only role.

A typical period covers more than one live site. You check programmes, specs, budgets and quality gates. You sit with the client and main contractor so interfaces are clear. You build plans, scopes, milestones and resource lists. You watch spend and cut waste. You feed estimates and execution strategy into bids. You work with procurement on plant, materials and services. You allocate people, materials and equipment. You supervise project managers, engineers and discipline leads. You manage subcontractors and vendors. You review shop drawings, BOQs, data sheets, method statements and material submissions. You drive testing, commissioning, close-out files and handover. You spot delay, cost risk and technical problems early and fix them. You send progress, cost and risk reports. You keep Bahrain regulations, contract terms, quality and HSSE in view. You stop misuse of plant, labour and materials. You close technical and commercial issues that block the programme.
