M&E Project Manager

Parkinson Gray Associates are working with a long-established, well-regarded M&E contractor based in Yorkshire. The business delivers full mechanical and electrical building services packages across a range of commercial and residential construction projects.

Due to continued workload, they are looking to appoint an additional M&E Project Manager. This will be the third Project Manager within the business and will involve taking responsibility for the delivery of mechanical and electrical packages on projects across the Yorkshire region.

The first project is expected to be a 75-apartment scheme in West Yorkshire, with wider projects typically ranging up to around £3m in value.

The role will be predominantly site-based, although regular office visits will be required. As the projects are all regional, travel should be manageable and there is no expectation of extensive working away.

The Role

The successful candidate will take responsibility for the delivery of M&E packages from pre-start through to completion. You will be supported on site by dedicated supervision, typically including both mechanical and electrical Site Supervisors.

Duties will include:

• Managing mechanical and electrical building services packages on live construction projects
• Overseeing programme, quality, health and safety, labour, subcontractors and materials
• Working closely with Site Supervisors, Contracts Managers, clients, consultants and main contractors
• Attending site and progress meetings
• Monitoring project costs, variations and commercial performance alongside the commercial team
• Ensuring works are delivered safely, on programme and to the required standard
• Coordinating mechanical and electrical activities on site
• Supporting handover, snagging, commissioning and close-out

The Candidate

The client is open-minded on whether the successful person comes from a mechanical or electrical background. What matters is that you have a good working knowledge of both disciplines and are comfortable taking overall responsibility for M&E delivery.

You are likely to have experience as one of the following:

• M&E Project Manager
• Mechanical Project Manager with strong electrical awareness
• Electrical Project Manager with strong mechanical awareness
• Building Services Project Manager
• Senior M&E Site Manager / Supervisor ready to step up

You should have:

• Experience working for an M&E contractor or building services contractor
• A good understanding of both mechanical and electrical services
• Experience delivering projects on site
• The ability to manage supervisors, subcontractors and labour
• Strong communication skills with clients, main contractors and internal teams
• A practical, organised and hands-on approach to project delivery

The Company

This is a stable, well-established M&E contractor with a strong regional reputation. They are large enough to deliver meaningful projects, but not so large that you become just a number. The role would suit someone who wants responsibility, visibility and long-term stability with a respected Yorkshire contractor.

Package

The salary is up to the late £50,000s, plus car / car allowance and package.

This is not the highest-paying role in the market, but it offers regional work, a stable business, genuine project ownership and the chance to join a well-established contractor with a strong name in the Yorkshire M&E market.
