The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Mechanical Site Supervisor to support delivery on a £9m mechanical installation project within a major West London shopping centre.

This is a pre-commencement opportunity, with works starting on site in August, giving you the chance to play a key role from early stages through to completion.  You'll be starting before this to assist with planning.

The project is expected to run for circa 18 months, with a strong pipeline of further works secured on-site, offering excellent long-term stability.

The role includes overseeing installation works involving commercial heating systems, including gas-fired boilers, alongside wider mechanical services.

You will manage a team of 10–14 operatives (including subcontractors and agency labour), while working closely alongside the electrical team (interface only—no direct management).

• Read and interpret technical drawings and schematics
• Interface effectively with electrical teams and wider site stakeholders
• Drive progress on-site and resolve issues proactively
• Support commissioning, testing, and full project handover
• Maintain a strong, compliant health & safety culture

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Mechanical Site Supervisor on commercial / retail projects
• Strong HVAC knowledge, including gas-fired boiler systems, LTHW, CW, and drainage
• Good understanding of building services (M&E)
• SSSTS (essential)
• Ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications
• Experience managing teams of labour and subcontractors
• Strong leadership, organisation, and communication skills
• Experience with BMS / controls (desirable)
• Relevant commercial gas experience / awareness highly advantageous
• Full UK working rights

What You’ll Get

• £32 per hour (freelance rate) with clear route to permanent
• Long-term project (18-24 months) with ongoing work beyond completion
• Opportunity to work on a major retail scheme with repeat projects on site
• Full JIB package on permanent including benefits and van (if required)
