Mechanical Project Manager

Mechanical Project Manager - Building Services Pipework South West | £55,000£70,000 + Package You may not be actively looking for a new role. You may already have secure projects, a good relationship with your employer and no immediate reason to move. However, if greater ownership, stronger progression and the opportunity to play a visible role within a growing mechanical business would interest you, this is worth a confidential conversation. The Client Our client is an established mechanical building services contractor delivering pipework projects across the South West and surrounding regions. The business has developed a strong reputation for delivering technically demanding work while maintaining a practical, straightforward approach to its clients and employees. With a healthy pipeline and continued growth planned, the company is now looking to strengthen its project delivery team with an experienced Mechanical Project Manager. This is a business where individuals are trusted to take ownership. You will work closely with senior management and have the opportunity to influence how projects are planned, resourced and delivered. The Role The Mechanical Project Manager will take responsibility for the successful delivery of mechanical building services pipework projects. You will manage projects from the initial handover and planning stages through to installation, commissioning and completion. Your responsibilities will include: Taking full ownership of mechanical pipework projects Reviewing specifications, drawings and contractual requirements Producing project programmes and delivery plans Coordinating labour, materials, plant and subcontractors Managing project budgets, forecasts and variations Monitoring progress against programme and cost Leading client and project meetings Working closely with engineers, supervisors and site teams Identifying technical or commercial risks at an early stage Ensuring installations meet the required quality standards Maintaining strong health and safety performance Managing commissioning, completion and handover Developing positive relationships with clients and the wider supply chain Projects will involve a range of mechanical pipework systems within building services environments. A strong practical understanding of mechanical installations, plant areas and site delivery will therefore be essential. What Makes It Special This is not a role where you will be several steps removed from the actual delivery of your projects. You will have genuine responsibility for planning the work, leading the team and making the decisions required to deliver successfully. You will also have direct access to the companys senior leadership rather than working through multiple layers of management. The opportunity offers: Genuine ownership of your projects A strong and developing pipeline of work Direct access to senior decision-makers Support from experienced engineering and site teams The freedom to improve how projects are delivered Greater visibility than is often available within larger contractors Long-term progression as the business continues to grow For someone who feels restricted within a larger organisation, this could provide considerably more influence and recognition. It could also suit an experienced Mechanical Contracts Engineer or Senior Project Engineer who is ready to take the next step into full project management. What Youll Need You will need proven experience delivering mechanical building services or pipework projects. You should be able to demonstrate: A strong understanding of mechanical pipework installations Experience managing projects from planning through to handover The ability to manage programmes, budgets and resources Good commercial awareness Experience coordinating site teams and subcontractors Confidence dealing directly with clients The ability to understand drawings and technical information A practical and solution-focused approach Strong communication and leadership skills A good understanding of construction health and safety A relevant mechanical or building services qualification would be beneficial, although strong practical experience will be equally important.

What to Do if Youre Interested You do not need to have made a decision to leave your current employer. An initial conversation can be completely informal and confidential. It will give you the opportunity to understand the projects, the team and the longer-term opportunity before deciding whether you would like to take things any further.
