• Liaise with clients, consultants, main contractors and the wider design team
• Chair progress, design, technical and subcontractor meetings
• Manage RFIs, technical queries, design changes and project documentation
• Coordinate mechanical services with electrical, architectural and structural packages
• Monitor quality, programme, subcontractor performance, RAMS, permits and CDM compliance
• Resolve technical, commercial and programme issues and report progress to senior management

• Proven experience as a Mechanical Project Manager within mechanical building services or M&E
• Experience delivering commercial fit-out, refurbishment and design and build projects
• Strong knowledge of HVAC, heating, ventilation, chilled water, LTHW, domestic water services, drainage, BMS integration and plantroom installations

• Good knowledge of UK construction practices, health and safety and CDM requirements
• SMSTS and CSCS
• A mechanical qualification such as HNC, HND or Degree is advantageous, although equivalent experience will be considered
• Based within commuting distance of Milton Keynes or able to travel to the office and project locations

• Company package and benefits
• Secure, long-term pipeline of work
• Regional projects based around Milton Keynes
• Visible role within a growing SME contractor
• Supportive, close-knit team with direct access to decision-makers
• Clear scope to take on more responsibility as the business grows
