Job description

Mechanical Project Manager - Central London

Salary & benefits - £70,000 to £80,000 (negotiable)

Mechanical Site Manager or Project Manager? You’re already delivering projects. But what if you had the opportunity to take complete ownership of them—from the first conversation with the client through to final handover?

This is an opportunity to join an established M&E contractor where quality, relationships and delivery genuinely matter.

You’ll lead project delivery of mechanical packages valued between £2m–£3m across commercial, residential and mixed-use developments throughout London including renowned landmark hotels and much more.

As an Mechanical Project Manager, you'll take the lead on mechanical contracts from planning through completion, with the autonomy to make decisions, lead teams and influence how projects are delivered.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing mechanical projects from inception through to handover.
• Controlling programme, budget, procurement and resources.
• Leading site teams, supervisors and specialist subcontractors.
• Building strong, long-term relationships with clients.
• Identifying risks early and putting solutions in place before they become problems.
• Ensuring the highest standards of Health & Safety and project compliance.
• Embracing modern construction methods and digital technology e.g. Procore, BIM and MS Project.
• Reviewing project performance and driving continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking ForYou ideally have:

• Experienced in trades having worked your way up from Mechanical Apprentice
• A proven track record delivering mechanical projects within building services, M&E or construction.
• Strong commercial and financial awareness.
• Experience leading teams and managing multiple priorities.
• Excellent client-facing and communication skills.
• Competence with Microsoft Office and project management software.
• A full clean driving licence, SMSTS, CSCS and Manual Handling certification.

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than a role where you're handed a programme and told to deliver it. You'll have the responsibility, influence and client exposure to make your mark—and the opportunity to develop alongside an established M&E business delivering technically challenging projects.

If you're an Mechanical Project Manager who wants greater ownership and the chance to be recognised for what you deliver, this could be the move you've been waiting for.

Take control. Lead from the front. Deliver something worth putting your name to.
