Mechanical Technical / Project Manager – Building Services in Potters Bar

Mechanical Technical / Project Manager – Building Services

Location: Potters Bar, Hertfordshire / London Projects
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time

The Opportunity

We are working with an established Mechanical & Electrical contractor who is looking to strengthen their team with an experienced, mechanically biased professional who can bring a combination of technical, design, project management and commercial expertise.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and wants to play an integral role within a growing business.

Unlike a traditional Project Manager position, this role will offer involvement across several areas of the business, from mechanical design and AutoCAD drawings through to project oversight, estimating, tendering and technical support.

The company delivers a mixture of larger M&E projects and smaller works packages across the commercial, residential and industrial sectors.

With established site teams already in place, the successful candidate will work closely with the business owner, providing technical and operational support across multiple projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce, review and amend mechanical building services drawings using AutoCAD.

• Assist with mechanical design, technical specifications and coordination.

• Oversee mechanical projects from pre-construction through to completion when required.

• Support the preparation of estimates, tenders, quotations and cost proposals.

• Review drawings, specifications and technical documentation to identify project requirements.

• Liaise with clients, consultants, suppliers and subcontractors.

• Assist with procurement, material selection and value engineering.

• Provide technical guidance to site teams and resolve design or installation queries.

• Monitor project progress, budgets and programme requirements.

• Work closely with the business owner to support the wider operational and commercial activities of the company.

What We're Looking For

• A strong mechanical building services background, ideally gained within an M&E contractor.

• Proficient in AutoCAD, with the ability to independently produce and amend mechanical drawings.

• Good understanding of HVAC, ventilation, heating, plumbing and associated mechanical systems.

• Previous experience in mechanical project management, contracts management or project engineering.

• An understanding of mechanical estimating, tendering and commercial processes.

• Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications and design requirements.

• Comfortable managing multiple responsibilities and switching between technical, commercial and operational tasks.

• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

• A practical, hands-on approach with the confidence to work independently.

Experience in a design and build M&E environment would be particularly advantageous.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a varied position offering the chance to become a key member of an established M&E business.

You'll have the opportunity to influence projects from the early design and tender stages through to delivery, working closely with the business owner and experienced site teams.

The company is particularly interested in individuals who enjoy the technical side of building services but also have the commercial awareness and project experience to contribute across the wider business.

Candidates currently working as Mechanical Project Managers, Mechanical Contracts Managers, Mechanical Project Engineers, Technical Managers or Mechanical Design Engineers with project delivery experience are encouraged to apply.
