Mechanical Contracts Manager

The Opportunity
Our client is one of North Wales’ leading independent M&E contractors and they are looking for an experienced Mechanical Contracts Manager to join their team in Deeside. This is a full-time, permanent role managing mechanical contracts from post-award through to practical completion.
The business has a loyal client base built largely on repeat work and referrals, which means the person coming into this role is stepping into an environment where relationships matter and where delivery is what drives the next appointment. It is a role that suits someone who takes real ownership of their contracts.
About the Business
Established in 2008, our client began as an electrical contractor and expanded into mechanical services in 2011 – since when they have offered the complete M&E package and outgrown their original premises in the process. Projects range from £10,000 to £5 million, and the clear majority of their workload comes through referrals and repeat clients, which reflects how consistently they deliver.
Their client list includes local authorities, schools and universities, blue-chip main contractors and national organisations, with a particularly strong track record in extra care and care home developments across the region. They hold full accreditation including NICEIC, ECA, Gas Safe and Constructionline, and their philosophy from design through to handover is built around attention to detail at every stage.
