Junior Project Manager (BMS / HVAC Controls)

£35,000-£42,000 + Company Car + Bonus + Employee Ownership Benefits + Training and Progression + Pension

Manchester

Are you an Engineer, Project Coordinator or Assistant Project Manager from an electrical, mechanical or building services background, looking to develop your career into Project Management?

Do you want to join a well-established engineering business offering specialist training, long-term progression and the opportunity to take ownership of technical projects within the growing BMS and HVAC controls industry?

This company has been established for nearly 50 years and has built an excellent reputation for delivering tailored building controls and automation solutions throughout the UK and Ireland. Their projects span Healthcare, Commercial, Industrial and Retail, with continued growth creating an opportunity to strengthen their Projects department.

In this role, you will work closely with the Project Manager, CAD team and workshop to support the coordination and delivery of BMS and HVAC projects. You will assist with technical drawings, project documentation, equipment deliveries and project planning, while liaising with customers, suppliers and internal departments. You will receive training in building controls, gradually taking on more responsibility and developing towards managing projects independently.

This role would suit an Engineer, Project Coordinator or someone with experience in electrical, mechanical, HVAC or building services who is looking to move into Project Management. Direct BMS experience is not essential, as full training will be provided.

The Role:

• Support the planning and coordination of BMS and HVAC controls projects from initial design through to completion


• Assist with technical submittals, RFIs and reviewing construction drawings


• Liaise with CAD designers to coordinate technical drawings and project requirements


• Coordinate equipment and control panel deliveries, ensuring materials are available when required


• Support the preparation of operation and maintenance manuals and project handover documentation


• Work closely with the workshop, suppliers, customers and site teams to ensure projects run smoothly


• Attend project meetings and assist the Project Manager with progress updates, deadlines and project requirements


• Gradually take ownership of smaller projects as your experience and technical knowledge develop

Primarily office-based, working Monday-Thursday, 8:30am-4:45pm, and Friday, 8:30am-3:30pm

The Person:

• Previous experience within an engineering, electrical, mechanical or building services environment


• Some exposure to project coordination, planning, technical documentation or installation projects


• An understanding of engineering drawings, electrical systems or technical schematics
