Project experience

The company specialises exclusively in mechanical pipework and building services, including:

◆ Commercial office fit-outs

✔ Comfortable working from an office and travelling to projects when required

✔ Experience within a Tier 1 contractor would be highly advantageous

✔ A trade background is welcomed but not essential

✔ Experience using Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject or similar programming software would be beneficial

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanical professional who wants senior responsibility across multiple projects while remaining involved in both pre-construction and live delivery.

Both permanent and contract candidates will be considered.
