Mechanical Project Manager Site-based From May 2026 75,000 - 90,000 or 350 - 400/day CIS/Ltd If you are tired of being brought into jobs just to firefight programme issues, supply chain problems and coordination gaps created earlier in the process, this is the kind of role that gives you proper control from the front end. You know mechanical project managemen is not straightforward. It is not just about pushing labour and chasing paperwork. It is about planning works properly in a live, controlled setting, managing access, sequencing refurbishment and new-build elements, keeping standards high, and making sure delivery stays commercially and operationally on track. This role gives you the chance to do exactly that on a substantial custodial programme where the mechanical package matters. You will be joining a top 30 M&E contractor with more than 25 years in the market. The business is privately owned and delivers across design and build, full M&E services, HVAC, IT infrastructure, CCTV, security, access control and fire alarms. Their project portfolio spans commercial, education, residential, super-prime residential, leisure, healthcare and Ministry of Justice environments, with schemes ranging up to 20m. That breadth matters because it points to a contractor used to working in complex, highly regulated buildings where planning, coordination and quality cannot be left to chance. The work itself is strong. This programme involves the refurbishment of existing prison buildings alongside the delivery of new houseblocks, a healthcare facility, multipurpose workshops, teaching spaces, gym facilities and additional catering and kitchen areas. It is the sort of job that needs a Mechanical Project Manager who can look beyond the individual package and understand how delivery, access, sequencing, compliance and handover all have to come together in a controlled environment. This is a site-based role across HMP Feltham and HMP Coldingley from May 2026. You will be the person responsible for making sure the mechanical works are properly planned, properly resourced and properly delivered. You will build and manage the programme, drive procurement and labour forecasting, control subcontractor performance, oversee health and safety, manage the financial and variation position, and keep the project moving towards a snag-free handover. You will also be the key point of contact on the mechanical side, so being comfortable in front of the client, communicating clearly and maintaining confidence throughout the job is a major part of the role. This is not a position for someone who wants to sit behind reports and react to problems from a distance. It suits a Mechanical Project Manager who likes being close to the work, making decisions early, holding standards on site and taking ownership through to final accounts, O&M completion and handover. What you will be doing Managing the mechanical package across custodial works at HMP Feltham and HMP Coldingley from pre-delivery planning through to commissioning and handover. Producing and driving the programme to ensure works are delivered in a controlled and timely manner across refurbishment and new-build elements. Taking ownership of procurement, labour forecasting and subcontractor management so site activities are properly planned and supported. Managing costs, variations, health and safety and quality, while maintaining strong control of progress on site. Acting as the main mechanical point of contact for the client and wider project team, keeping communication clear and delivery aligned. Ensuring a professional close-out of the project, including snag-free completion, final accounts and full O&M handover. What you will need A proven background delivering mechanical building services projects in the UK. Experience managing mechanical packages ideally up to 6m within M&E or building services environments. The ability to programme, coordinate and deliver works in complex live or highly regulated settings. A strong track record of managing subcontractors, driving standards and maintaining programme and commercial control. Client-facing confidence and the ability to take ownership of the mechanical scope from early planning through to handover. Custodial or Ministry of Justice experience would be highly attractive. Similar experience within defence or other secure estates will also be considered. If you want a mechanical project management role where the environment is complex, the delivery challenge is real and your input will genuinely shape the success of the job, this is worth a conversation.

MEP Buyer If you are tired of being treated like the person who simply raises orders after everyone else has made the important decisions, this is your chance to have far more influence on how projects are delivered. You understand that buying in building services is not an administrative function. It affects programme, margin, supplier performance and site confidence. The right materials, from the right supplier, on the right terms, at the right time can keep a project moving. The wrong approach creates delays, cost leakage and pressure for delivery teams. This role sits within an established London building services contractor with a long-standing presence in the market, delivering mechanical and electrical installations across fit out, refurbishment, design and build, and full MEP packages. Their work spans commercial offices, data centres, education, healthcare, residential, student accommodation, public sector schemes, and sports and leisure environments. That variety matters. It means you will not be buying against one narrow project type or a repetitive supply chain. You will be supporting live works across fast-paced CAT A and CAT B fit out environments as well as more complex building services installations where coordination, timing and supplier reliability are critical. You will be based in head office, working closely with the directors and supporting Project Managers and Site Managers across multiple live jobs. This is where procurement directly supports delivery. You will negotiate with MEP wholesalers and manufacturers, raise orders for materials and plant, manage supplier relationships, resolve issues before they escalate, and help make sure site teams get what they need without unnecessary disruption. You will be a visible part of the delivery process. The business operates across a broad building services offering, including mechanical, electrical and associated specialist systems, with a strong emphasis on coordinated delivery, technical standards and practical project support. In that kind of environment, buying is not a back-office task. It is part of how projects stay commercially controlled and operationally effective. What you will be doing Negotiating terms, pricing, rebates and early settlement arrangements with MEP wholesalers and manufacturers Raising orders for materials, plant hire and subcontractors across multiple live projects Liaising with suppliers to make sure delivery dates are met and site teams are kept informed Analysing monthly spend and helping improve buying performance across the supply chain Entering price confirmations accurately and feeding revised buying terms back to estimating Managing requisitions, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoice queries properly Taking ownership of supplier issues and seeing them through to resolution Monitoring supplier KPIs and giving regular feedback on performance Maintaining strong commercial confidentiality at all times Why this role stands out This will suit someone who wants to be closer to the commercial and operational heartbeat of a project business. You are not being brought in to sit quietly in the background. You will deal with directors, project teams, wholesalers, manufacturers and suppliers every day. Your work will have a direct effect on how efficiently projects are delivered and how well the business buys across its supply chain. It should also appeal to someone who prefers a more hands-on contractor environment. The structure appears to be one where leadership remains close to delivery, which usually gives a buyer more visibility, more accountability and more opportunity to make a genuine impact than a heavily layered corporate set-up. What they are likely to want from you You will probably already have buying or procurement experience within mechanical, electrical or wider building services contracting. You should be confident negotiating with suppliers, comfortable managing multiple live priorities, and organised enough to keep control of orders, paperwork and communication without needing constant oversight. Just as importantly, you will need sound judgement. This role needs someone commercially aware, dependable and proactive, with the confidence to deal professionally with directors, estimators, project managers, site managers and suppliers. Strong Excel, Word and general office-based administration skills matter, but what will make you effective here is your ability to keep things moving, solve problems properly and protect delivery without creating unnecessary noise. What Next If you are a Buyer in the building services market and you want a role where procurement has genuine impact on project delivery, commercial performance and supplier strategy, this is well worth a conversation. If that sounds like the kind of step you have been looking for, apply today or get in touch for a confidential discussion.

Mechanical Package Manager Harlow, Essex 65,000 to 70,000 + package If you are a Mechanical Package Manager who wants real ownership of a package rather than acting as a go-between for everyone else, this is the sort of role that gives you the room to actually manage the job properly. This opportunity is based on a major data centre project in Harlow. It is the kind of scheme where delivery standards are high, programme matters, and the mechanical package has to be driven properly from pre-start through installation, commissioning and handover. You will not be there to simply attend meetings and report problems upwards. You will be expected to take control of your package, manage subcontractors, coordinate with the wider team and keep the works moving in the right way. The business itself is well established in the mission-critical market and delivers complex M&E packages on technically demanding projects. That means the environment will suit someone who understands how important sequencing, quality control, technical coordination and commissioning readiness are on this type of work. If you are at your best when you are close to the detail and able to influence the outcome of the job day to day, this should appeal. The role You will take responsibility for the mechanical package on site, making sure labour, materials, information and access are aligned to maintain progress. You will work closely with the Project Manager, other Package Managers, the commercial team, site management and specialist subcontractors to ensure the mechanical installation is delivered safely, correctly and in line with programme. Day to day, that is likely to include managing subcontractor performance, tracking progress against programme, dealing with coordination issues, reviewing technical information, monitoring quality on installation, attending site and package meetings, and making sure issues are dealt with before they start affecting downstream activities. You will also be involved through commissioning and handover, so this is not a role for someone who only enjoys the installation phase and loses interest at the back end of the project. This role will also need someone who understands the wider picture. On a data centre project, the mechanical package cannot be managed in isolation. You will need to work well with electrical, CSA and commissioning teams, understand interfaces, and keep the job moving in a coordinated way rather than just focusing on your own area. What they are looking for They are looking for someone with a strong mechanical building services background who has already managed packages or sections of work on sizeable M&E projects. Data centre experience would obviously be useful, but they will also recognise good experience from other technically demanding environments where quality, coordination and commissioning are a big part of the job. You will need to be organised, technically credible and comfortable holding subcontractors to account. You should be able to read the job properly, spot issues early, keep pressure on programme and communicate clearly with the wider team. This is a role for someone who can combine site presence with proper package control, rather than someone who is either too office-based or too narrow in their focus. Why it is worth considering The attraction here is the scale and seriousness of the project, but also the level of responsibility attached to the role. This is a chance to take ownership of a key mechanical package on a major live scheme in one of the strongest sectors in the market. For the right person, it offers strong project exposure, long-term potential and the chance to be part of a delivery team where your input will genuinely matter. If you want a Mechanical Package Manager role in Harlow where you can take proper ownership of the package and play a meaningful part in delivering a major mission-critical project, get in touch.
