Experienced Mechanical Supervisor with a strong foundation in commercial pipefitting to oversee mechanical upgrades strictly within a live hotel plant room.

BMS & Commissioning: Coordinate with BMS upgrades, utilize PT ports (test/balancing nipples) for pressure/flow diagnostics, and oversee full system commissioning to safely bring new boilers online.
Site Supervision: Act as the competent onsite supervisor, managing health and safety, coordinating sub-contractors, and liaising with hotel management to minimise guest disruption.

Qualifications: Valid SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) is essential.
Background: Proven, extensive background in commercial pipefitting and industrial plumbing.
Plant Room Expertise: Direct experience managing like-for-like boiler replacements in commercial plant rooms (ideally hotels, hospitals, or large student accommodation blocks).
