Example candidateA structured process for the hire that anchors your MEP department — where the wrong Director costs fee margin, Cx handoff quality, and MEP Manager retention across every program.
30-minute call. Align on sector focus, portfolio scale, MEP Manager bench, Cx-team integration, standards ownership, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Directors of MEP with delivered department leadership. References from prior VPs, Cx heads, and MEP Managers included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
Director of MEP is where redundancy design, Cx handoff quality, and MEP Manager retention hold or slip. Sector-tier fluency, Cx integration, and department mentor track separate a Director who defends fee margin from one who lets it walk out the door.
Every Director on the shortlist has verified system-tier fluency across sectors: Uptime Tier IV for hyperscale, ASHRAE 170 for healthcare, ISPE Baseline for life sciences, SEMI for semiconductor. Not just “MEP experience.”
Reference-verified from prior Cx heads and BCxP managers: engineering turnover packages delivered at RFS, not chased through PQ. Cx and MEP treated as one program, not two departments.
Reference-verified from MEP Managers they promoted: retention, growth to Sr / Director-track, and department culture built. Not just a “managed a team” resume line.
Every candidate is credential-verified, department-referenced, and matched to your sector focus. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.
