Why This Role Exists

This isnt a replacement. Its growth.

The business has secured a strong pipeline of technically demanding data centre and defence projects and is strengthening its senior delivery team to match that workload.

Theyre not looking for someone to manage paperwork. Theyre looking for someone who can take ownership of complex MEP packages and drive projects properly - commercially, technically and operationally.

If youre currently carrying major responsibility but constantly battling poor planning, weak procurement or unrealistic programmes, this is a step into a more structured environment.

The Business

A well-established, privately owned main contractor delivering specialist schemes across:

• Data centres
• Defence infrastructure
• Energy and secure environments

They operate a full design and build model and take pride in delivering technically complex projects properly - not chasing volume.

You wont be managing retail fit-outs or repetitive commercial CAT A jobs. These are high-specification, high-security projects where building services performance genuinely matters.

The Role

You will operate as the senior MEP lead on major schemes, reporting to a Project Director and taking full ownership of building services delivery from pre-construction through commissioning and handover.

This includes:

• Leading MEP delivery on technically complex projects
• Managing programme, procurement and subcontractor performance
• Driving commercial performance alongside the QS
• Controlling change, risk and compliance
• Leading commissioning strategy and handover
• Coordinating site teams and specialist packages
• Building strong client relationships

Youll be empowered to make decisions - not simply escalate problems.

What Makes This Interesting

• Large-scale, technically challenging schemes
• Secure long-term pipeline in data & defence
• Clear authority on site
• Strong commercial support
• Direct access to senior leadership
• A business that invests in process and structure rather than firefighting

This is a role for someone who enjoys complexity and control - not chaos.

What Theyre Looking For

• Proven experience leading MEP packages as a Senior PM (With Electrical Bias)
• Strong electrical bias (with full MEP understanding)
• Experience in data centres, defence, infrastructure or other technically demanding schemes
• Solid understanding of NEC or JCT contracts
• Comfortable managing subcontractors and protecting commercial position
• Confident in client-facing environments
• SMSTS, Black CSCS and relevant project management credentials expected.

The Package

• £85,000 - £95,000 basic (depending on experience)
• Car allowance or vehicle
• Performance-related bonus
• Pension
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Clear progression path to Project Director level

Who This Suits

• A Senior Electrical PM ready for more scale and autonomy
• An experienced MEP PM tired of constant programme slippage
• Someone delivering big packages, but not recognised at senior level
• A commercially aware project leader who values structure and long-term stability

Interested?
