About You
You will have demonstrable experience managing mechanical engineering or building services projects, ideally within a complex construction, manufacturing, infrastructure or industrial environment. A strong understanding of mechanical systems, project controls and contract management is essential, together with the confidence to make informed decisions in a fast-paced setting.
The successful candidate will be commercially aware, solutions-focused and comfortable communicating with people at all levels. You should be able to prioritise competing demands, maintain accurate records and deliver high-quality outcomes without compromising safety or compliance.
