Overview
Senior Mechanical Engineer - lead a major project from start to finish. This role starts late 2025 and involves taking full ownership of the mechanical delivery on a major new scheme. This is a brand-new role, leading the project from the earliest planning stages right through to completion. You will join an experienced and supportive team, working alongside a Project Director who will give you the freedom to shape and lead the mechanical package from cradle to grave.
About Us: Mech Electrics Limited is a specialist recruitment company dedicated to providing skilled engineering and commercial professionals to major projects within the built environment. We’re working with a key client, a highly respected contractor with a strong pipeline of complex, high-value projects.
What We’re Looking For
* Strong track record of delivering MEP projects within the built environment, ideally with overall project values exceeding £8M.
* If you’ve worked for a larger contractor, experience acting as the mechanical lead on complex, high-value projects.
* If you’ve been with a smaller contractor, managing full turnkey MEP projects as a Project Manager, and you’re ready to focus purely on mechanical delivery for a major scheme.
The Role
* Take charge of all mechanical works, from early planning and design coordination through to project handover.
* Ensure every stage of the project meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and compliance with UK regulations and client requirements.
* Collaborate with design teams and clients to refine and optimise designs, creating safe, efficient, and practical solutions.
* Manage key project processes, including progress tracking, risk management, change control, and quality assurance.
* Lead, mentor, and support the mechanical team, setting clear expectations and fostering a collaborative, positive environment.
* Build strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and colleagues, ensuring excellent communication and smooth problem-solving.
* Keep the project on track financially and programme-wise, delivering on time, on budget, and in line with commercial and quality targets.
* Maintain accurate records and documentation for all mechanical works, using strong decision-making to balance technical, commercial, and safety needs.
* Promote a proactive health and safety culture, ensuring safe working practices are a priority across the site.
What’s on Offer
* Excellent salary and package.
* Travel and lodge provided for candidates who live further afield but are happy to stay away during the week.
* The chance to join a highly skilled, supportive team on a project you’ll be proud to deliver.
* A genuine opportunity to shape the role, leading the mechanical delivery from start to finish.
