This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role during the pre-construction phase of a major project currently progressing through a two-stage tender process. Working as part of the wider pre-construction team, you'll take ownership of the mechanical and electrical elements of the scheme, helping to ensure the design delivers both technical excellence and commercial value. The project is currently operating under a PCSA arrangement, and your focus will be on challenging and interrogating the developing MEP design, working closely with the client, consultants and specialist subcontractors to ensure solutions are practical, buildable and represent best value.

What we're looking for We're keen to speak with experienced MEP professionals who have a strong background in pre-construction, design management or building services delivery within a main contractor environment. You'll have a proven track record working on major projects, ideally within the 50m- 100m+ range, and will be comfortable operating within PCSA and two-stage tender environments. Previous experience reviewing consultant designs, value engineering MEP solutions, engaging with clients and subcontractors, and driving best-value outcomes will be essential. Whether your background is Mechanical, Electrical or Building Services Management, you'll possess the technical knowledge and commercial awareness needed to influence design decisions and challenge unnecessary cost throughout the pre-construction process. What's on offer In return, you'll be joining a well-established contractor with an impressive pipeline of major schemes and a reputation for delivering complex projects across the South East.
