Job description

MEP Programme Manager

Location: Temple
Contract Type: Temporary / Contract (Until End of March)
Project Value: £2m-£3m
Project: Mixed-Use Development (Hotel, Apartments, Bar, Restaurant, Penthouses)

Overview

We are working with an established HVAC / Mechanical contractor delivering the full MEP & HVAC package on a complex mixed‑use development in Temple.

They are seeking a site‑based MEP Programme Manager to work alongside the existing Project Management team, taking ownership of the short‑term and finishing programmes and driving day‑to‑day delivery across all MEP disciplines.

This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused role combining site engagement with programme management.

The Role

The MEP Programme Manager will be responsible for managing and driving the project programme at site level, ensuring weekly targets are understood, achievable, and delivered.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working alongside Project Managers to develop and maintain master finishing and short‑term programmes
• Managing the programme on a day‑to‑day basis, ensuring alignment across all MEP disciplines
• Regularly engaging with lead engineers and discipline supervisors (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
• Issuing weekly targets, reviewing progress, and identifying risks to delivery
• Challenging delays constructively and identifying what is required to recover or maintain programme
• Feeding programme updates, constraints, and recovery plans back to the Project Managers for approval and implementation
• Attending site meetings and coordinating across multiple workstreams

This role is focused on coordination, communication, and programme control, not commercial or contractual management.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will come from an MEP site delivery background and be confident operating across multiple disciplines.

Essential experience:

• Background in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical disciplines
• Strong working understanding of all MEP systems, though not necessarily a technical expert in one trade
• Experience managing or coordinating site programmes
• Confident communicating with lead engineers and site teams
• Strong organisational and planning skills
• Computer literate, with experience using Microsoft Project or similar planning software

Day rate: £200 - £320
