A growing Building Services consultancy is seeking an experienced M&E Project Manager to join the team, and cover projects across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

You will be responsible for delivering mechanical and electrical projects typically ranging from £25k to £1m. Projects are largely within live environments, including schools, public buildings, and heritage properties, requiring careful planning, stakeholder management, and technical oversight.

With several projects ready to go live, this role offers immediate involvement in on site delivery, including large scale upgrade works such as removal of gas systems, fabric improvements, and installation of renewable technologies.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys hands on project delivery, wants to see projects through from concept to completion, and is motivated by contributing to Net Zero and sustainability goals.

• Heritage and listed buildings undergoing refurbishment
• Decarbonisation works

About You

• Substantial experience in M&E project delivery
• Strong technical understanding of mechanical and electrical systems
• Commercially aware with experience managing costs, variations, and contracts
• Able to manage multiple projects and stakeholders effectively
• Full UK driving licence

Desirable:

• Experience in Design & Build environments
• Exposure to low carbon or renewable technologies
• Project management qualifications (APM, PRINCE2, PMP)

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary up to £75,000 (DOE)
• Hybrid working (2 days from home)
