Mechanical Project Manager – Gatwick
Location: Gatwick (Site‑based)
Sector: Built Environment / Energy
Salary: Competitive + package
Mech Electrics is recruiting a Mechanical Project Manager for large‑scale building and energy works at Gatwick. You’ll lead mechanical delivery across complex live buildings, managing plant upgrades and low‑carbon systems on a major operational estate.
About Us – Mech Electrics
Mech Electrics is a specialist recruitment partner within the built environment, supporting MEP contractors and energy delivery businesses working on complex, operational building portfolios.
We’re working closely with a long‑term client delivering mechanical and low‑carbon upgrades across the Gatwick estate, and have been appointed to manage recruitment for this role.
The Opportunity
This role sits at the heart of a programme upgrading how buildings at Gatwick are heated and supported mechanically.
Projects include:
* Major plant replacement
* Heat pump installation and integration
* Infrastructure upgrades across live buildings
You’ll be involved from planning through delivery, working closely with site teams and stakeholders to keep works moving safely and efficiently.
The Role
* Lead mechanical delivery across multiple live buildings
* Manage subcontractors, programme, cost and quality
* Coordinate plant installation and system upgrades
* Review design and resolve buildability challenges
* Plan works to minimise disruption to occupied buildings
* Own RAMS, sequencing and delivery strategy
* Drive commissioning and handover
This is a delivery‑led role for someone who enjoys running work, not just tracking it.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven Mechanical Project Manager experience
* Strong background in mechanical building services
* Experience delivering work in live environments
* Exposure to plant rooms, energy centres or low‑carbon systems
* Confident stakeholder‑facing communicator
* SMSTS
* Full UK driving licence
Why This Role Stands Out
* Long‑term programme on a major estate
* Technically engaging mechanical scope
* High level of autonomy and trust
* Stable, well‑planned delivery environment
