Job Description:

Mechanical Project Engineer | High-Rise Residential

White City, West London | Site based | £50,000–£70,000 depending on experience

Join the mechanical delivery team on a major high-rise residential development in White City. Working alongside the Mechanical Project Manager, you’ll help turn the findings from the initial site review into clear actions for supervisors and subcontractors, then see those works through installation, testing and handover.

Why this project?

You’ll work across risers, communal areas and apartments, getting hands-on with the details that keep a residential fit-out moving. That could mean resolving a connection detail for a bathroom pod, checking a riser before it’s closed up, or making sure a floor has the inspection and test records it needs before the next trade moves in.

It’s a good opportunity for a Mechanical Project Engineer who wants more ownership on site, or an experienced Mechanical Supervisor or Site Engineer ready to take on more technical coordination and package responsibility.

What you’ll be doing

• Review drawings, specifications and survey findings with the Project Manager, turning outstanding items into clear instructions and priorities for the site team.

• Coordinate mechanical and public health works across cast-iron drainage, domestic water, ventilation and comfort cooling, including connections to bathroom pods and utility cupboards.

• Raise and close out technical queries, check coordinated drawings against site conditions and track material requirements.

• Walk the floors with supervisors, check installation progress and quality, and coordinate inspections before ceilings, walls and risers are closed.

• Maintain inspection and test records, track snagging and support commissioning, as-built drawings and O&M information for phased handover.

What you’ll bring

You’ve worked on mechanical building services installations and are comfortable reading drawings, resolving practical issues with trades and keeping accurate site records. High-rise residential or large apartment fit-out experience would be especially useful. A mechanical trade, apprenticeship or building services qualification is welcome.

Interested? Send your CV or get in touch for a confidential conversation. Include a brief example of a mechanical installation you helped coordinate on site.
