Hours: 08 00 Portfolio (guideline): £1.5m £2m total contract value across multiple concurrent projects (live value varies by completion). Authority (current): PO/work orders up to £50k; variation sign-off up to £25k (above escalated to Dept Manager/Estimator). Commercial cadence: checks payment applications for Junior/Assistant PMs before submission. Occasional early starts or later finishes during commissioning windows (with notice).

You lead supervisors, electricians, and subcontractors day-to-day while coordinating closely with Principal Technical Engineers and Commissioning Engineers to ensure design intent, installation readiness, and commissioning windows are aligned. You raise the standard of project controls and mentor less experienced PMs so delivery becomes consistently predictable, not dependent on last-minute recovery. (PMs are accountable for delivery to time, scope, budget, and quality, including strong commercial and H&S management.) You also strengthen delivery capability by helping recruit, onboard, and develop your project teams so performance becomes consistent and scalable. Candidate Requirements Essential - Independent portfolio delivery: proven ability to manage multiple concurrent BMS projects with disciplined controls across programme, scope, cost, quality, and risk. - Commercial management: strong understanding of procurement, subcontract management, variation/change substantiation, and payment application processes; maintains a high-quality audit trail. - Stakeholder leadership: able to manage complex stakeholder relationships and handle difficult conversations professionally (delays, changes, access constraints, cert queries). - Technical coordination: working understanding of BMS installation/commissioning and typical comms standards (IP, BACnet, Modbus, RS485/serial), enabling effective coordination and escalation. - Document control & quality discipline: maintains robust document systems, handover evidence packs, and quality gates across portfolio. - People leadership: line-manages supervisors/electricians; sets expectations, plans resourcing, develops competence, and handles performance issues early. Desired Strong experience in subcontractor performance turnaround and recovery planning. Strong presentation/report-writing skill (client-facing packs, executive summaries).
