About the Role

Our client is looking to appoint an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to join their growing project delivery team.

This is a mechanically led project management position, suited to someone who has come from a mechanical contracting, building services or mechanical engineering project delivery background. You will be responsible for managing mechanical projects from pre-construction and planning through to delivery, commissioning and handover, working closely with clients, subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of mechanical building services and the practical delivery of mechanical installation projects.

• Manage procurement, subcontractor appointments and supplier relationships
• Monitor project progress, costs, variations and change control
• Identify and manage project risks, technical issues and delivery challenges
• Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time and to the required quality standards
• Attend site meetings and provide regular project updates to clients and senior management
• Oversee commissioning, snagging and final handover
• Ensure appropriate project documentation and records are maintained
• Work collaboratively with the wider M&E, commercial and operational teams

About You

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Project Manager with:

• Proven experience managing mechanical installation projects
• A background within mechanical contracting, building services or mechanical engineering
• Good knowledge of mechanical building services and project delivery
• Experience managing subcontractors, suppliers and site teams
• Strong commercial awareness, including budgets, variations and cost control
• Experience working with project programmes, procurement and project documentation
• Strong client and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to understand mechanical drawings, specifications and technical requirements
• Experience working to relevant health, safety and quality standards
• JCT and/or NEC contract experience would be advantageous

Candidates may currently be working as a Mechanical Project Manager, Senior Mechanical Project Manager, Mechanical Contracts Manager or in a similar mechanically focused project delivery position.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation with a strong project pipeline and genuine opportunities for career progression.
