Full Job Description

The Senior Mechanical Project Manager will take overall responsibility for the successful delivery of secured works across the business. Projects are typically valued below £100,000, creating a fast-paced environment where strong organisational, commercial, and leadership skills are essential. The company's work is predominantly mechanical and fabrication-focused, although experience within wider M&E contracting would be beneficial. In addition to existing project work, the business is beginning to secure smaller Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) contracts, presenting an exciting area of future growth. Key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing the successful delivery of multiple mechanical and fabrication projects.
  • Overseeing project performance from initial planning through to completion.
  • Coordinating internal teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and site activities.
  • Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
  • Maintaining and developing strong client relationships.
  • Supporting the Director with the day-to-day leadership of the business.
  • Driving operational efficiency and continuous improvement across project delivery.
  • Assisting with the development and expansion of emerging service and PPM contract opportunities.

    The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in mechanical building services, fabrication, or M&E contracting and will be comfortable working within a hands-on leadership role.
  • Applicants should be able to demonstrate:
  • Proven experience managing mechanical or M&E projects.
  • Strong leadership and people management capabilities.
  • Experience overseeing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Excellent commercial awareness and project delivery expertise.
  • Strong communication and client-facing skills.
  • The ability to work autonomously and make informed operational decisions.
  • A proactive approach with the ambition to contribute to the future growth of the business.

    An established and growing mechanical and fabrication-focused M&E contractor is seeking a Senior Mechanical Project Manager to join its leadership team.
  • This is a pivotal position within the business, reporting directly to the Director and effectively operating as their second-in-command. The successful candidate will play a key role in overseeing the delivery of secured works, supporting business operations, and helping drive the company's continued growth. With an annual turnover of approximately £3 4 million and a strong pipeline of secured projects, the business has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality mechanical and fabrication solutions across a diverse client base. The company has recently been acquired by a larger group, creating an exciting platform for future growth and development. As the integration progresses, many administrative and corporate functions will be absorbed into the wider group structure, allowing the leadership team to focus on operational delivery and expanding the business. Supported by an experienced team of 11 staff, the successful candidate will join a collaborative and supportive working environment with plenty of ongoing projects, significant variety, and genuine opportunities for career progression.

    With a strong workload, an excellent team culture, the backing of a larger group organisation, and significant scope for progression, this position provides the chance to make a genuine impact while helping shape the next stage of the company's development. Package
  • Circa £65,000 salary
  • Company vehicle or van
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment
  • Long-term career development opportunities
  • Please note that the wider benefits package is currently under review and may be enhanced over the next 12 months as part of the company's integration into the larger group structure. If you would like to know more please contact Harry Severn - (url removed)
