• Monitor and control inventory.
• Coordinate specialist subcontractor activities.
• Raise purchase orders, invoices, and manage administrative processes, including logging defects.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, actively securing new contracts.
• Manage selected Mechanical Small Works projects alongside the Electrical Small Works team, including site visits, scope reviews, quotations, and project management through to completion.

Experience and Requirements

• Minimum 5 years’ experience within the mechanical construction or maintenance industry.
• Strong ability to estimate, quote, and manage works from initial enquiry to final invoice.
• Proficient in reading and interpreting technical drawings.
• Excellent customer-facing skills with a proactive and organised approach to work.
• Experienced in supervising staff and subcontractors.
• Ideally suited to individuals with a strong building services background or those transitioning from an installation role into an office-based, client-focused role.

• Relevant CSCS Skilled Worker Card.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Confident liaising with stakeholders at all levels.
