The Opportunity
Our client is a well-established M&E contractor based in Warrington and they are looking for an Electrical Contracts Manager to take on a national delivery role within their business. The working pattern is genuinely hybrid – 2 to 3 days on site across the UK, with the remainder split between their Warrington office and home working.
This is a client-facing, delivery-led role that suits someone who is comfortable taking full ownership of their contracts and enjoys being at the sharp end of the project. If you have a solid electrical background and are looking for a role with real variety across a high-quality, blue-chip project base, this is a strong option.
About the Business
Our client is a Warrington-based M&E contractor with a full integrated service offering that spans mechanical, electrical, HVAC, design, planned and reactive maintenance, and a 24/7 service desk. They deliver across commercial, food and drink production, FMCG manufacturing, industrial and R&D pharmaceutical environments, and their client base includes some of the most recognisable blue-chip brands in the UK and internationally.
Their approach is built around long-term partnerships rather than single transactions – they work closely with clients from initial design and scoping through to ongoing maintenance and system adaptation. A strong commitment to net zero and sustainable engineering runs through the business, and they are active in helping clients achieve their own ESG and decarbonisation targets. They deliver on what they promise, which is why their client relationships tend to run for the long term.
