Mechanical Construction Manager

Mechanical Construction Manager Opportunity Tier 1 M&E Contractor - Southwest London

We are working in partnership with a Tier 1 M&E contractor (£400m+ turnover) to appoint an experienced Mechanical Construction Manager for a flagship hospital development in Southwest London.

This is a rare opportunity to join at early preconstruction stage, playing a pivotal role through design development, procurement, coordination and full mechanical delivery through to Practical Completion. The scheme is expected to run for 2 3 years, offering long-term stability on one of the region s most prestigious healthcare projects.

Our client delivers complex MEP packages across healthcare, commercial, data centre and pharmaceutical sectors both in the UK and internationally. They are recognised for technical excellence, strong project teams and industry-leading staff retention.

The Role

As Mechanical Construction Manager, you will take responsibility for the mechanical installation and site delivery of a major healthcare MEP package, ensuring works are delivered safely, on programme, to specification and within budget.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing mechanical subcontractors and direct labour on site
• Coordinating mechanical services (HVAC, public health, medical gases, BMS interfaces, etc.)
• Driving programme, quality and productivity targets
• Chairing coordination and subcontractor meetings
• Working closely with design, commercial and commissioning teams
• Ensuring strict compliance with healthcare regulations and HTM standards
• Overseeing installation through to testing, commissioning and handover

This role offers genuine involvement from preconstruction through full delivery, not just site-based installation management.

The Candidate

We are seeking a strong mechanical leader with experience delivering complex MEP projects.

Ideal background:

• Proven experience as a Mechanical Construction Manager / Mechanical Project Manager / Senior Mechanical Supervisor
• Experience delivering large-scale healthcare, pharmaceutical, commercial or data centre projects
• Strong knowledge of mechanical building services including HVAC and public health
• Experience managing large mechanical packages (£10m+)
• Excellent stakeholder management and coordination skills
• Stable employment history within recognised M&E contractors

Healthcare experience is highly desirable but not essential for candidates with strong complex MEP backgrounds.

Why Join?

This contractor is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the M&E market, offering:

• Highest salaries in the sector
• Clear and structured progression from day one
• Long-term flagship projects
• Strong technical and commercial support teams
• Opportunity to move into Senior Project Manager / Project Director roles
• Exposure to prestigious, technically complex schemes

They invest heavily in their people and promote from within wherever possible.
