Project manager - Electrical - M&E

M&E Project Manager

Location: Brentwood, Essex
Salary: £50,000–£60,000 per year

We are recruiting an M&E Project Manager for an established and growing building services business. This is an opportunity to join a company with strong turnover, a positive team culture and a clear focus on looking after its people.

The immediate preference is for someone with an electrical bias. Experience or sound working knowledge of mechanical services would also be valuable.

The role

You will manage allocated mechanical and electrical projects from instruction or award through to completion and handover. You will take responsibility for day-to-day delivery, working with clients, designers, site teams and subcontractors to achieve programme, cost, safety and quality objectives.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Planning and monitoring project programmes, resources, costs and progress.

• Coordinating design information, technical queries, approvals and information issued to site.

• Arranging materials, plant and subcontractors, and monitoring their delivery and performance.

• Identifying risks, delays, variations and changes to scope, with clear records and timely escalation.

• Supporting payment applications and reviewing supplier and subcontractor accounts.

• Reviewing RAMS, carrying out site inspections and maintaining health and safety compliance.

• Checking installation quality and managing defects and snags through to completion.

• Coordinating testing, commissioning, certification, project documentation and final handover.

• Acting as the main day-to-day contact for clients and providing regular project updates.

About you

You will have experience delivering M&E projects and be confident managing programmes, site activity, subcontractors and client relationships. An electrical background is particularly attractive for this appointment, while mechanical experience or knowledge will help you work across the full scope of projects.

You will be organised, commercially aware and comfortable addressing issues early. You will understand the importance of safe working, accurate records, quality installation and a thorough handover.

This is a strong opportunity for a Project Manager who wants to contribute to a business that is moving forward and values the people delivering its work.
