HVAC Package Supervisor / Manager – Ductwork

Location: Hull

Start: January 2026

⏳ Contract: 6 months

We’re looking for an experienced HVAC Package Supervisor / Manager to take full ownership of the ductwork package on a live construction project in Hull.

This is a site-based, hands-on role for someone who knows ductwork inside out and can drive subcontractors, manage interfaces, and keep works safe, compliant and on programme.

️ The Role

You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the HVAC ductwork package, covering supply, extract and process systems, including all associated components such as fire dampers, VCDs, access panels, supports and interfaces.

This is not a desk role — we’re looking for a doer, not just a coordinator.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Full management of the HVAC ductwork package from mobilisation through to completion and handover
• Day-to-day supervision of the ductwork subcontractor, ensuring labour levels, supervision and productivity are maintained
• Drive installation of:
• Supply & extract ductwork
• Process / specialist duct systems
• Dampers (fire, smoke, volume control), access doors, silencers and ancillaries
• Ensure works comply with approved drawings, specifications, BIM models and programme
• Lead coordination with:
• Electrical (containment, controls, fire alarm interfaces)
• Piping / process services
• Ceilings, walls and architectural trades
• Proactively manage clashes, access constraints and sequencing
• Review and close out RFIs, snags, NCRs and quality observations
• Track progress against programme and implement recovery actions where required
• Ensure RAMS, permits, ITPs and inspections are in place and adhered to
• Support commissioning, O&M manuals and as-built documentation

♂️ Experience Required

• Proven experience managing HVAC ductwork packages on complex projects (data centres, pharma, industrial, healthcare or commercial)
• Strong technical knowledge of:
• Supply, extract and process duct systems
• Dampers, fire stopping and penetrations
• Coordination in congested services environments
• Demonstrated ability to drive subcontractor performance
• Comfortable in fast-track, multi-trade construction environments
• Strong site presence with a hands-on approach
• Able to read and interpret drawings and BIM models
• Excellent communication and coordination skills

Qualifications ()

• Trade background or HVAC / Building Services engineering qualification
• SMSTS or SSSTS
• CSCS (relevant level)

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who takes full ownership of their package
• Confident challenging subcontractors and holding them to plan
• Strong focus on quality, safety and delivery
• Proactive, organised and solutions-driven
