◆ Reviewing and managing project programmes

◆ Forecasting project performance, resources and completion dates

◆ Monitoring commercial performance, costs and profitability

◆ Supporting projects during pre-construction

◆ Reviewing project information, specifications and drawings

◆ Ordering materials and coordinating procurement

◆ Managing labour, subcontractors and site resources

◆ Overseeing Project Managers, Site Managers and Supervisors

◆ Attending sites to monitor progress, quality and programme

◆ Identifying project risks, delays and delivery constraints

◆ Liaising with clients, commercial teams and internal management

◆ Driving projects through commissioning, completion and handover

Project experience

The company specialises exclusively in mechanical pipework and building services, including:

◆ Commercial office fit-outs

◆ New-build developments

◆ Heating and chilled-water systems

◆ Domestic water services

◆ Public health installations

◆ Plant rooms and associated pipework packages

What my client is looking for

✔ Experience overseeing Project Managers, Site Managers and Supervisors

✔ Strong knowledge of labour, procurement and material ordering

✔ Able to understand and take ownership of the complete project

✔ Comfortable working from an office and travelling to projects when required

✔ Experience within a Tier 1 contractor would be highly advantageous

✔ A trade background is welcomed but not essential

✔ Experience using Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject or similar programming software would be beneficial

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanical professional who wants senior responsibility across multiple projects while remaining involved in both pre-construction and live delivery.

Both permanent and contract candidates will be considered.
