Job description

Mechanical Project Manager Opportunity - Leading M&E Contractor - Data Centres

An opportunity has arisen for a Mechanical Project Manager to join the growing data centre division of a leading M&E contractor.

Recognised as a market leader across the data centre and commercial fit-out sectors, this business combines high-profile projects with a strong, people-focused culture. They offer market-leading salaries and packages, with clear progression paths discussed from the outset.

Projects within the division are predominantly based in West London, with an additional project near Canary Wharf.

The role

You will take responsibility for the delivery of mechanical works, bringing strong planning, coordination and commercial awareness to the project team.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing mechanical works through to commissioning and handover.
• Building, managing and updating project programmes, identifying key milestones, dependencies and delivery risks.
• Coordinating site teams, subcontractors and suppliers to maintain progress and quality.
• Working closely with the commercial team to understand budgets, monitor costs and manage variations.
• Liaising with clients, consultants and the wider project team.
• Maintaining high standards of health and safety, quality and project reporting.

About you

You will be a Mechanical Project Manager with experience delivering mechanical packages within an M&E contracting environment.

You will bring:

• A sound understanding of the commercial aspects of project delivery, including costs, procurement and variations.
• Confident leadership and communication skills.
• A proactive, organised approach to managing competing project priorities.

Experience in data centres or technically demanding commercial fit-out projects would be particularly relevant.

• The opportunity to join an established market leader with a growing data centre division.
• A culture-driven business that values its people.
