Mechanical Project Manager

Building Services Project Manager | South West | £75k + £7k car allowance

I'm currently recruiting for a Building Services Project Manager to join a well-established, family-owned M&E contractor delivering projects across the South West.

This is a good one for a project manager with a mechanical background who wants variety rather than the same job on repeat. My client has been going since the late 1940s, turns over serious numbers, and works across education, healthcare, social housing, defence and commercial. You'd be picking up a genuine mix of live projects, from schools in Yeovil and Swindon to large-scale residential and commercial schemes, so no two weeks look quite the same.

It's a fully site-based role with some travel between projects, so it suits someone who likes being on the delivery end rather than tied to a desk. The business has a regional presence in Bristol and a proper local footprint across the South West.

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Managing the delivery of mechanically-biased building services projects from mobilisation through to handover, keeping programme, budget and quality on track
\n
• Running site logistics day to day, coordinating subcontractors and trades, and keeping the client and internal teams aligned
\n
• Owning the full building services scope on your projects, keeping mechanical and electrical works coordinated and moving to programme
\n

What we're after:

\n
• A solid mechanical or building services background, with project management experience on live M&E or fit-out schemes
\n
• Someone who leads on the mechanical side but can confidently coordinate electrical works as part of the wider project
\n
• A hands-on, site-based operator who can handle a bit of travel and juggle a varied workload without dropping the ball
\n

Why it's worth a look:

This is an established, financially solid family business with a strong regional pipeline and the kind of varied workload that keeps the job interesting. The role pays up to £75k depending on experience, with a £7k car allowance on top, and there's a straightforward interview process. For the right person it's a stable home with plenty of work on the books.
