* Carry out quality inspections and ensure works are completed in line with approved drawings, specifications and commissioning requirements.

* Support the management of testing, commissioning, snagging and handover activities.

* Maintain strong health, safety and environmental standards, including regular site inspections and toolbox talks.

* Provide clear progress updates and assist in recovering delays where required.

What we are looking for

* Proven experience as an MEP Construction Manager, M&E Manager, Mechanical Manager, Electrical Manager or Building Services Manager on major projects.

* A strong mechanical or electrical bias, with enough all-round MEP knowledge to manage interfaces effectively.

* Experience delivering MEP installations on large mixed-use, residential, commercial, hotel, healthcare or high-rise developments.

* Strong understanding of site delivery, subcontractor management, coordination, quality assurance and commissioning.

* Comfortable working in a fast-paced main-contractor environment with demanding programmes.

* Able to read and interrogate MEP drawings, identify site issues early and drive practical solutions.

* SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid essential; relevant mechanical or electrical qualifications are highly desirable.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced MEP site delivery professional to join a significant London development, with a 6–12 month CIS contract and potential for extension for the right individual
