Reporting into the Head of Operations, you will take overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the MEP package from pre-construction through to handover.

You will act as the primary point of contact for the client on site, coordinating subcontractors across all MEP disciplines while ensuring the project is delivered safely, on programme, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You will be supported by an experienced Site Manager who has worked with the business for over two years, alongside regular involvement from the Head of Operations and Operations Manager.

About You

We're looking to speak with experienced MEP Project Managers who have successfully delivered commercial building services projects.

An Electrical bias would be advantageous, but candidates with a Mechanical background and proven MEP project delivery experience are equally encouraged to apply.

Experience delivering commercial CAT A/CAT B fit-out or refurbishment projects

Experience managing MEP packages valued at approximately £3 million+
