Project Manager – Heat Pumps
Location: Birmingham | Salary: £75k-£90k
Role Overview
You will be delivering large-scale Ground Source (GSHP) and Air Source (ASHP) infrastructure – think district heating networks for tower blocks, 2MW+ energy centres for hospitals, and complex industrial retrofits. Reporting to the Construction Director, you will take full ownership of major renewable installations from pre‑construction through to commissioning and handover.
Responsibilities
* Project Delivery: Lead the delivery of renewable energy projects ranging from £2m to £10m, managing the programme, budget, and quality.
* Technical Leadership: Oversee the installation of complex mechanical plant rooms, large‑scale heat pumps, and associated district heating pipework.
* Commercial Control: Manage JCT/NEC contracts, handle variations, and ensure commercial protection throughout the lifecycle of the build.
* Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary interface for high‑profile clients (NHS, Local Authorities, Tier 1 Developers), managing expectations and reporting.
* Site Logistics: Manage specialist sub‑contractors, including drilling teams (for GSHP), heavy lifting/cranage, and civil engineering partners.
Qualifications
* Experience: Proven track record as a Project Manager on mechanical/infrastructure projects valued at £2m+.
* Technical: Strong understanding of plant rooms, LTHW systems, chillers, or district heating. Experience with GSHP/ASHP is highly advantageous but not essential if you can demonstrate transferable engineering competence.
* Contract Knowledge: Solid understanding of JCT and NEC forms of contract.
* Mindset: Solutions‑focused. These projects are technically complex and often live environments; we need someone who solves problems, not just reports them.
* Candidate must have a strong Mechanical/M&E background and experience delivering major infrastructure, though prior heat‑pump installation is not required.
Package
* Basic Salary: £75k – £90k (DOE)
* Vehicle: Company EV or generous car allowance
* Bonus: Performance‑related project bonuses
* Pension & Private Health
* Progression: Clear pathway to Project Director
