Mechanical Working Supervisor in Harlow, Essex

Mechanical Working Supervisor – Data Centre

James Lewis Recruitment is looking for a Mechanical Working Supervisor to join a data centre project in Harlow.

You’ll be the main point of contact for the mechanical workforce on site, reporting to the Mechanical Site Managers and making sure the team has clear direction throughout the day.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and organising mechanical operatives on site.

• Checking workmanship against drawings and specifications.

• Coordinating materials, access and work areas with the site management team.

• Maintaining safe working practices and site standards.

• Reporting progress, labour requirements and any issues to the Mechanical Site Managers.

• Supporting installation work on the tools when required.

We’re looking for:

• A strong mechanical trade background and previous experience as a Working Supervisor, Mechanical Foreman or Chargehand.

• The confidence to lead a workforce and give clear, practical direction.

• The ability to read mechanical drawings and resolve installation queries.

• Experience on data centre or large commercial building services projects.

• Relevant trade qualifications and a valid CSCS/SKILLcard.

• SSSTS 

An initial 4–6 months of work is available, with the potential for an extension.
