Why This Role?

• Join a reputable, multidisciplinary engineering practice known for in-house integration and control across mechanical, electrical, and control disciplines.

• Work on high-value, technically complex M&E projects—such as office fit-outs (CAT A/B), plant upgrades, and bespoke installations for clients in major London buildings.

• Be part of an agile, collaborative team that embraces fast-track delivery, bespoke solutions, and superior contracting control.

• Competitive salary and benefits, reflective of technical excellence and project accountability.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead planning, scheduling, resource management, and cost control for mechanical works within complex projects (e.g. VRF, fan coil units, AHUs, LTHW/CHW plant, public health, sprinklers, BMS integration).

• Coordinate in-house and specialist teams (engineering, commissioning, controls) to ensure seamless execution across mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation disciplines.

• Liaise with clients, architects, and other stakeholders to define mechanical engineering scope and technical requirements.

• Manage tendering, procurement, contractor relationships, and subcontractor coordination to ensure timely and compliant deliverables.

• Oversee quality assurance, health & safety compliance, and regulatory adherence for mechanical and building services installations.

• Monitor and report project milestones, budgets, risks, and contractual obligations; implement corrective actions as needed.

• Champion M&E standards, continuous improvement, and innovation in controls, energy efficiency, and sustainability.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Chartered or chartered-equivalent mechanical engineer (e.g. CEng, IMechE, or equivalent), or significant experience in mechanical project management within the building services sector.

• Proven track record managing integrated mechanical and M&E projects—especially in categories such as CAT A/B fit-outs, shell & core, refurbishments, and specialist installations.

• Strong technical knowledge of HVAC systems, BMS, refrigeration, chilled water systems, fire service integration, and controls—plus direct familiarity with plant installation and commissioning.

• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

• Competence with project software (e.g. Revit, BIM tools) and MS Project or similar scheduling platforms.

• Detail-oriented, organised, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, design-and-build environment.
