Job Description:

Mechanical Project Manager – CAT B Fit Out (Central London)

Up to £80,000 + travel | Permanent | 2-3 days hybrid

If you’re tired of being the person who inherits problems at install stage, this is the role where you own delivery properly — from pre-start through commissioning and handover — on fast-track CAT B schemes where pace matters and good planning actually gets rewarded.

You’ll join a well-established design and build building services contractor delivering CAT B commercial fit‑out projects across Central London, typically up to £1.5m. This is hands‑on, multi‑project delivery: multiple live jobs, tight programmes, busy interfaces, and the expectation that you can keep quality and commercial control while still getting things built.

What you’ll do

  • Run projects end-to-end: pre-start, site mobilisation, delivery, commissioning and handover
  • Control programme: short-term lookaheads, progress reporting, sequencing and recovery planning
  • Own procurement and logistics: plant/material orders, deliveries, and working around site constraints
  • Manage labour and subcontractors: productivity, quality checks, coordination and output
  • Drive technical flow: submittals, RFIs, and coordination with design teams where needed
  • Lead meetings and actions: keep interfaces moving and close issues fast across trades
  • Support commercial performance: cost control and variations alongside the commercial team
  • Close out properly: snagging, handover documentation and O&M manuals to a clean finish

What you’ll need

  • Proven experience delivering CAT B commercial fit‑out mechanical packages in London
  • A mechanical building services background (time served or academically qualified)
  • Track record managing projects up to £1.5m in a fast‑paced environment
  • Strong H&S awareness and solid site delivery best practice
  • Clear communication — able to manage multiple stakeholders and keep site aligned

Package

  • Up to £80,000 (dependent on experience)

Travel

  • 2‑3 days hybrid working
  • No additional perks
