Job description

Project Manager Decarbonisation Projects (Wales)

Working on behalf of a major energy and infrastructure delivery partner to NHS Wales

Mech Electrics are partnering with a long-established M&E client at the forefront of public sector decarbonisation. They are leading the delivery of sustainable upgrades across NHS sites in Wales with investment planned over a 10+ year horizon.

This is a career-defining opportunity to contribute to the decentralisation and modernisation of Wales' public healthcare infrastructure through structured, long-term capital works.

The Role

As Project Manager, you will take ownership of work packages on a regionally focused site within the South West Wales region. Projects will evolve over time, starting with immediate low-carbon measures and progressing toward full energy centre solutions.

Responsibilities Include:

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrade projects (typically £7-8M).
• Oversee subcontractor performance and on-site project coordination.
• Manage stakeholder relationships and communicate progress to the client team.
• Collaborate with design, estimating, and operational leads during IGP/pre-construction phases.
• Ensure adherence to NHS guidelines, H&S legislation, and public sector protocols.
• Contribute to long-term planning as the programme evolves (e.g., heat pumps, solar integration, de-steaming, etc.).

What We're Looking For:

• A Project Manager with a strong mechanical or electrical bias and experience in public sector or complex building services projects.
• Experience with decarbonisation, healthcare, or energy centre schemes is beneficial.
• Excellent communication and programme management skills.
• Willing to travel throughout South West Wales as required.

These are long-term roles, designed to deliver across multiple stages, from early wins like LED/insulation upgrades to transforming how NHS Wales consumes and generates energy.
