Mechanical Project Manager – Live Environment Projects
London & Surrounding Areas | £77,000 - £82,000 package | Permanent
An opportunity is available for a Mechanical Project Manager to join an established building services contractor delivering projects in highly sensitive, live environments. The role offers a mix of office and site-based work, with Mondays typically reserved for internal planning meetings at the office. This is a delivery and client-focused role—not a business development position—and is best suited to someone who thrives on building relationships, taking ownership of projects, and managing the detail from end to end.
Project values typically range between £200k–£500k, with most schemes delivered in occupied buildings, including hospitals, museums, and data centre infrastructure upgrades. Projects are often complex and logistically demanding, requiring confident stakeholder management and strong technical judgment. The role sits within a small, well-supported team structure, reporting to a senior lead and managing a limited number of key accounts.
You’ll oversee the full mechanical package across multiple projects, ensuring compliance with programme, quality, and commercial targets. This includes managing subcontractors, coordinating with in-house and external teams, maintaining client communication, and ensuring snag-free delivery. The scope of recent projects includes full VRF system replacements, medical and critical infrastructure upgrades, plantroom refurbishments, and heritage building interventions—all within challenging, high-profile environments.
This is a client-facing role requiring regular site attendance, confident communication, and the ability to work closely with consultants, contractors, and in-house teams. You’ll typically hold 3–4 projects at once, with some accounts involving ongoing frameworks across multiple buildings.
To be considered, you’ll need a strong mechanical background and a hands-on approach to project management. Formal qualifications are not essential—practical experience and a track record of delivering live projects to a high standard are what count. Candidates without direct experience in healthcare or heritage environments will still be considered, provided they can adapt quickly and communicate effectively with demanding clients.
The role offers a total package of £77,000 - £82000 per annum. Additional benefits include travel, 24 days annual leave plus bank holidays, (including your birthday off, and 3 days during the Christmas period).
