M&E Site Managers required – School Projects
Location: Bethnal Green & Isle of Dogs, London
Sector: Construction
Job Type: Temporary / Contract
We are currently recruiting for experienced M&E Site Managers to work on two school projects in East London. Both projects are M&E-heavy, so candidates must have a strong mechanical and electrical background and proven experience managing M&E works on live construction projects.
We have two positions available:
* 1 x M&E Site Manager – Bethnal Green
* 1 x M&E Site Manager – Isle of Dogs
The Role
As Site Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day delivery of the project, with a particular focus on the M&E elements. You will be working closely with subcontractors, the project management team and other site personnel to ensure works are delivered safely, on programme and to the required quality standards.
Requirements
The successful candidate will have:
* Proven experience as a Site Manager, ideally on M&E-heavy projects
* Strong Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) background
* Previous experience working on school, education or similar live-site projects is highly desirable
* SMSTS
* First Aid
* Enhanced DBS – essential due to the school environment
* Strong knowledge of site health & safety requirements
* Excellent communication and organisational skills
* The ability to manage M&E subcontractors and coordinate works effectively
* A strong understanding of construction programmes, RAMS and site procedures
Important
Enhanced DBS is essential for these positions. Candidates without an Enhanced DBS will not be considered due to the nature of the projects.
If you are an experienced M&E Site Manager with the relevant qualifications and an Enhanced DBS, and are available for either the Bethnal Green or Isle of Dogs project, we would be keen to hear from you.
Apply today with your CV and we will be in touch to discuss the projects and start dates
