This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Project Manager or Senior Mechanical Project Manager to join a respected M&E Building Services contractor delivering projects from £100k to £5m.

The company is a well-established Mechanical Building Services contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality commercial refurbishment and plantroom projects across London and the South.

* Central plantroom installation

* External plant area

* Refurbished student accommodation

* HIUs (Heat Interface Units)

The project is largely first fix complete, so the focus will be:

* Quality control and snag resolution

* Void closures

There is a strong pipeline of future Mechanical Building Services projects, offering continuity beyond this scheme.
