Job description

Mechanical Project Manager

Location: Knutsford (with UK-wide travel)
Salary: £35,000 - £50,000 DOE + Company Vehicle
Sector: Retail Fit-Out / Building Services / Mechanical Projects

I'm working with a growing building services business that is looking to add a Mechanical Project Manager to its expanding projects team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody looking to develop their project management career within a fast-paced retail environment. Whether you're already a Mechanical Project Manager or a strong Mechanical Supervisor, Site Manager or Engineer looking to take the next step, this role offers genuine progression and exposure to a wide variety of projects across the UK.

The business delivers mechanical and electrical projects for major retail clients, operating in an environment where no two days are the same. They need someone organised, proactive and willing to get involved wherever required to help projects run smoothly.

The Role

Working closely with the senior mechanical team, you'll support the successful delivery of projects from initial scope through to completion.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing mechanical projects and minor works across multiple sites
• Attending site surveys and scoping upcoming works
• Gathering technical information and producing project documentation
• Assisting with procurement and material ordering
• Supporting project cost control and budget management
• Liaising with clients, subcontractors and internal teams
• Monitoring project progress and resolving issues on site
• Coordinating installation activities and ensuring programmes are met
• Assisting with commissioning, testing and project handovers
• Supporting the delivery of projects within live retail environments

What They're Looking For

• Mechanical building services experience
• Knowledge of HVAC, plumbing and mechanical installations
• Experience delivering projects within retail, fit-out, FM or commercial environments
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Comfortable managing multiple tasks and projects simultaneously
• Commercial awareness and problem-solving ability
• Full UK Driving Licence

The Person

The technical side can be taught. What they're really looking for is somebody who gets stuck in.

You'll be joining a busy team where everyone works together to get projects delivered. That means being adaptable, proactive and willing to support where needed. If you're the type of person who enjoys variety, likes being out on site and thrives in a fast-moving environment, you'll fit in well here.

Package

• £35,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
• Company vehicle
