About The Role

We are seeking experienced Package Managers to support the delivery of mechanical engineering construction projects. The successful candidates will be responsible for the management, coordination, and weekly planning of defined work packages, subcontractors, and trade interfaces.

The Package Manager will act as the main point of contact for assigned packages, particularly where packages involve 20 operatives or fewer. On larger-scale projects, Package Managers may also work under the direction of Construction Project Leads, supporting the delivery of larger work packages and ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently, and in line with project requirements.

• Contribute to a positive Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental (HSQE) culture across the project.
• Ensure compliance with CDM responsibilities and site procedures.
• Review and modify RAMS following completion of site establishment.
• Ensure adherence to Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs).
• Attend project pre-start meetings providing weekly reports on targets, progress and performance.
• Deliver daily briefs to site teams.
• Arrange equipment hire once site establishment has been completed.

Construction Duties

• Maintain the site file and ensure relevant documentation is up to date.
• Submit weekly labour requests to Construction Project Leads.
• Report and manage non-conformances.
• Plan weekly activities and coordinate trade interfaces.
• Manage site teams of fewer than 20 personnel when acting as the sole Package Manager.
• Support Construction Project Leads on larger-scale projects and larger work packages.
• Complete permits, POWRA sign-offs, and other health and safety documentation.
• Organise site-related tasks including hire, off-hire, collections, and logistics.
• Produce day works sheets and ensure these are signed by the client.
• Ensure project acceptance and sign-off sheets are completed.
• Carry out general supervisory duties when not acting in an assigned management role.

About You

The ideal candidate will have experience managing mechanical construction work packages within a live project environment. You will be confident coordinating subcontractors, managing labour, maintaining site documentation, and supporting safe delivery on site.

You should be organised, proactive, and able to communicate effectively with site teams, project leads, subcontractors, and clients. You will be comfortable working independently on smaller work packages, as well as supporting Construction Project Leads on larger-scale projects.

Requirements
