Blackmount Recruitment is working with a leading main contractor delivering large, complex mixed-use developments across London. They are looking for an experienced MEP Construction Manager to take ownership of the on-site delivery of mechanical or electrical works on a major live project.

This role would suit a strong site-based MEP professional with either a mechanical or electrical bias, who can drive progress, coordinate multiple subcontractors and ensure works are delivered safely, to programme and to the required quality standard.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day on-site delivery of MEP works across a major mixed-use scheme.
• Manage, coordinate and challenge mechanical and electrical subcontractors to maintain progress against programme.
• Drive installation quality, productivity, sequencing and safe working practices across all MEP activities.
• Coordinate MEP interfaces with the structural, architectural, façade, fit-out and external works teams.
• Review drawings, technical information and short-term programmes to identify risks, clashes and buildability issues.
• Attend coordination, progress and planning meetings with the Project Manager, Design Team, engineers and trade contractors.
• Monitor labour levels, materials, plant and access requirements to ensure works are properly resourced.
• Carry out quality inspections and ensure works are completed in line with approved drawings, specifications and commissioning requirements.
• Support the management of testing, commissioning, snagging and handover activities.
• Maintain strong health, safety and environmental standards, including regular site inspections and toolbox talks.
• Provide clear progress updates and assist in recovering delays where required.

What we are looking for

• Proven experience as an MEP Construction Manager, M&E Manager, Mechanical Manager, Electrical Manager or Building Services Manager on major projects.
• A strong mechanical or electrical bias, with enough all-round MEP knowledge to manage interfaces effectively.
• Experience delivering MEP installations on large mixed-use, residential, commercial, hotel, healthcare or high-rise developments.
• Strong understanding of site delivery, subcontractor management, coordination, quality assurance and commissioning.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced main-contractor environment with demanding programmes.
• Able to read and interrogate MEP drawings, identify site issues early and drive practical solutions.
• SMSTS, CSCS and First Aid essential; relevant mechanical or electrical qualifications are highly desirable.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced MEP site delivery professional to join a significant London development, with a 6–12 month CIS contract and potential for extension for the right individual.
