Job description

Overview

BMS Project Manager - Major Projects (Central London)

London (Zone 1 projects) | Permanent | £57K - £85K + Travel + Bonus + Package

If you're a confident, technically sharp BMS or ELV Project Manager tired of red tape, disconnected teams and rigid structures — this one's worth your attention.

This is an opportunity to join a medium-sized contractor that's doing seriously impressive work on some of London's most high-profile buildings. Think Google HQ, Apple HQ, and a current flagship job in Central London. They've got 47 live sites in Zone 1, and a track record of delivering top-level control systems for Tier 1 main contractors and large-scale M&E firms.

What Makes This Business Stand Out

• 80% of revenue comes from major project delivery
• They self-deliver, design, and manufacture in-house — no long chains of approval or bloated processes
• 16% female workforce
• Agile, diverse, and proudly independent

The Role

• Full project ownership from design and engineering through to install and commissioning
• Projects average £1.5M — and you\'ll typically manage 1 or 2 at a time (never more than 3)
• You\'ll be backed by a tight team: Project Engineer, Commissioning Manager, and Supervisor — with admin support on the bigger schemes
• Interface directly with clients, consultants, and site teams — autonomy and trust are baked into the culture

What We\'re Looking For

• Background in BMS, controls, or ELV systems (fire, security, data)
• Client-facing, independent PMs who know how to lead teams and run jobs
• Comfortable delivering on technically demanding MEP packages
• Familiar with building automation, energy controls or integrated systems
• Based within commuting distance to Central London — all travel to site covered

The Offer

• Salary from £57K-£85K (DOE)
• All travel paid
• BUPA private healthcare
• 26 days holiday (plus 3 days reserved for Christmas shutdown)
• 4.5% pension
• Flexible working when not on site
• Super clear progression for those who want to step up

This is a genuine opportunity to shape major London projects, work with a progressive and supportive team, and have real say in how your jobs are run. No layers of middle management, no micromanaging — just you, your team, and your projects.

Quick 15-min Teams intro chat to get started, followed by a face-to-face in London or on site. They're actively hiring and always have space for the right people.
