We are currently supporting a leading M&E contractor in the appointment of an experienced Senior M&E Project Manager to join a flagship Ministry of Justice (MoJ) prison development in Leicestershire. This is a high-profile, long-term scheme with a project lifespan of 2–3 years, offering stability and the opportunity to play a key role in delivering a critical piece of national infrastructure.

• Coordinate closely with main contractor, consultants, and stakeholders
• Oversee subcontractors and ensure works are delivered to specification and programme
• Drive health & safety standards and ensure full compliance with MoJ requirements
• Support commissioning, testing, and successful project handover

About You

• Proven track record delivering large-scale M&E projects (ideally within the MoJ, custodial, or similarly secure environments)
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills
• Experience managing complex, multi-package MEP installations
• Commercial awareness with the ability to manage budgets and programme effectively
• Relevant technical or engineering background within M&E

What’s on Offer

• Permanent position with a leading, well-established M&E contractor
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunity to work on a landmark, long-term project (2–3 years minimum)
• Clear pipeline of future work offering long-term career stability

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior-level M&E professional looking to take on a major project with long-term security and progression within a respected contractor.

If you have the experience and ambition to deliver at this level, we’d be keen to speak with you.
