Hackney | Residential M&E | Permanent
If you’re a mechanically biased M&E Project Manager with proper residential experience, this is a strong opportunity to take ownership of a larger residential scheme in London.
You’ll be joining an established M&E contractor delivering mechanical and electrical building services across residential and commercial projects. The role is mechanically biased, but you will need to be comfortable overseeing both mechanical and electrical packages, working closely with site teams, subcontractors, consultants, the client team and internal management.
This is not a role for someone who has only managed small works or jumped from job to job. The business needs someone stable, capable and people-focused who can take ownership of delivery, keep the project team organised and make sure information, programme, quality and reporting are properly controlled.
The role
You’ll be responsible for managing the M&E delivery on a larger residential scheme in Hackney.
The mechanical side will be your main strength, but you will need enough all-round M&E knowledge to coordinate the electrical works, understand interfaces, ask the right questions and keep the full services package moving.
The work is expected to involve mechanical plant, heating, domestic water, public health, ventilation, risers, laterals, apartment fit-out, drainage, controls interfaces, electrical containment, power, lighting, life safety systems, testing, commissioning and handover documentation.
You’ll need to be strong on site, good with people and comfortable using project systems, trackers, programmes, progress reports and close-out documents.
