This role would suit a strong project leader with a multidisciplinary background, a deep understanding of MEP integration, and proven experience in controlled environments such as defence, nuclear, or similarly regulated sectors.

• Lead interface management between mechanical, electrical, civil, and architectural disciplines.
• Act as the key point of contact for MEP progress, risk mitigation, and issue resolution across multiple stakeholders.
• Deliver works in accordance with contract requirements, programme timelines, and cost targets.
• Monitor MEP subcontractor performance, ensuring adherence to statutory and project-specific requirements, including those linked to working in secure or controlled zones.
  
  

Requirements

Essential:

• Strong project or package management experience across MEP systems on infrastructure or major build projects.
• Proven ability to lead coordination across multi-disciplinary teams.
• Experience working within highly regulated or controlled environments (e.g., defence, nuclear, Rail, or similar).
• Excellent knowledge of installation standards, commissioning procedures, and health and safety compliance.
• Strong stakeholder communication and leadership skills.
• Eligible for UK Security Clearance (minimum 5 years UK residency required).
