You will be responsible for managing mechanical building services projects typically ranging from £50,000 to £2 million in value. Projects will be mainly commercial, covering works such as offices, schools, healthcare, leisure, retail, and similar environments.

You will be client-facing, commercially aware, and able to coordinate labour, subcontractors, suppliers, design information, procurement, and programme delivery.

This role would suit an experienced Mechanical Project Manager

, or a strong Mechanical Site Manager / Mechanical Supervisor ready to step into a more project-led role.

You will be joining a contractor with a solid pipeline of commercial work and the opportunity to take real ownership of projects, rather than being lost inside a large corporate structure.
