Job description

Project Manager - HVAC

Andover, Hampshire

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-impact technical role where you’ll be at the centre of delivering HVAC solutions for real-world customer challenges.

Acting as the bridge between sales, engineering, and the customer, you’ll take ownership of the technical side of projects. Whether it’s a planned project or an urgent breakdown scenario, you’ll be the person who quickly understands what’s needed and turns that into a practical, workable solution.

You’ll work closely with the sales team, translating conversations into technical designs — building equipment lists, advising on the right approach, and ensuring solutions are both commercially viable and technically sound. At the same time, you’ll be engaging directly with customers, asking the right questions, and giving them confidence in the solution.
