MEP Construction Manager

Job Description

MEP Construction Manager | to £100,000 | London | M&E | Permanent

Some people in M&E love living inside a single job for two years. Others get itchy feet.

This role is for the latter.

The company is a well-established M&E subcontractor delivering complex projects across London - mainly commercial offices and data centres.

They are looking for someone to sit between the commercial team, pre-construction and the ops guys – holding everything together to get projects over the line.

You will typically have multiple projects on the go at any time, often at different stages of delivery. You will need to balance your time accordingly and make sure programmes make logical and fiscal sense, subbies are behaving themselves and the numbers all stack up by the time jobs come to an end.

This is very much a role for someone who has been there, seen it and done it in a practical sense, with an elite understanding of the realities involved in M&E project work.

Chances are you’ve come through the ranks, taking in project management, constriction management and supervision, naturally progressing to coordinating multiple jobs. Critically, your instinct will instantly know the difference between a programme that works on paper and one that will actually translate to site.

The job – whilst challenging – is pretty straight forward:

• Working across multiple schemes.
• Helping create and deliver programmes and schedules.
• Appointing and managing subcontractors.
• Keeping an eye on budgets and forecasts so the jobs land where they should.

But none of that is possible without having a bank of experience in order to make decisions.

The company itself has a strong pipeline across London and a reputation for delivering the kind of projects that keep good people interested. They are certainly not trying to reinvent construction - they just want someone experienced who knows how to run a steady ship.

Salary is up to around £100k depending on experience.

If you’re reading this thinking “that sounds exactly like what I do already” – you are probably the kind of person I want to speak to.
