M&E Project Manager in Belfast

Vickerstock are delighted to be partnering with a leading forward-thinking engineering and energy delivery organisation to recruit a newly created M&E Project Manager role within their Decarbonisation Business Unit. This role has been introduced to support the organisation's growth in delivering low-carbon, sustainable energy and decarbonisation solutions across commercial and public sector projects. Although the title reflects Mechanical & Electrical, the primary focus of the position is mechanically biased project delivery, with a real advantage for candidates who come from a trades background.

As M&E Project Manager, you will lead and co-ordinate mechanical project delivery across a range of decarbonisation and energy infrastructure initiatives. You will work closely with multi-discipline teams from design through to on-site execution, ensuring mechanical solutions are practical, buildable, compliant, and aligned with the client's sustainability objectives.

• Managing the delivery of mechanical systems and works within decarbonisation projects.
• Leading mechanical installation planning, coordination, and execution across project delivery phases.
• Liaising with design, fabrication, and site teams to ensure mechanical solutions are delivered on time, to quality and budget.
• Supporting pre-construction planning, technical clarifications, and procurement activities.
• Ensuring mechanical design intent, site safety, and compliance standards are maintained throughout delivery.
• Providing practical mechanical insight to project teams, particularly where trade-level understanding adds value.
• Supporting continuous improvement in project delivery processes and decarbonisation outcomes.

To be considered for this role, you should demonstrate:

• Strong practical grounding in mechanical systems, ideally gained through a trades background, apprenticeship, or mechanical engineering experience.
• Experience managing mechanical elements of projects - ideally within decarbonisation, energy, building services, or related sectors.
• Solid understanding of mechanical installation practices, M&E interfaces, and site delivery challenges.
• The ability to read technical and schematic drawings, and translate them into practical on-site execution plans.
• Excellent organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive, hands-on mindset with a focus on delivery and safety.
• Confidence working collaboratively across design, procurement, fabrication, and project teams.
• Previous experience in decarbonisation, energy transition, heat networks, or low-carbon infrastructure projects would be highly advantageous.

In return, you'll receive a competitive package and the opportunity to lead mechanical project delivery within a growing business unit focused on sustainable energy solutions, including:

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• Permanent employment on offer with a newly formed decarbonisation delivery team.
• Opportunity to work on meaningful, impactful projects that contribute to decarbonisation and net zero goals.
• Collaborative environment that values practical knowledge and innovation.
• Professional development and exposure to a range of decarbonisation technology and delivery approaches.
