• Liaise with the commissioning manager to ensure smooth system testing and commissioning.
• Support project handover, ensuring all O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and asset registers are completed.
• Chair and attend site meetings, progress reviews, and daily briefings.
• Collaborate with project leads to deliver mechanical utilities such as water, gas, and district heating.

About You

• Proven experience as a Mechanical Manager (mechanically biased).
• Strong knowledge of building services, design principles, and commissioning requirements.
• Ability to read and interpret programmes, drawings, and specifications.
• Qualified in Building Services or Mechanical Engineering (City & Guilds/NVQ or equivalent preferred).
• Valid SMSTS card.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
• Organised, detail-oriented, and able to work under pressure
