Mechanical Lead in City of London

Job description

Mechanical Lead, Major London Landmark Project

Location: Central London

Salary: Up to £120,000 plus industry-leading benefits

Employer: Confidential Tier One Main Contractor

A major contractor known for delivering some of London’s most complex and high-profile builds is seeking an experienced Lead Mechanical Manager to take ownership of the mechanical delivery on a landmark commercial project in Central London.

This nine-figure scheme is already underway and represents one of the capital’s most ambitious mixed-use developments, combining scale, complexity and quality. This is a career-defining opportunity to lead from the front in a technically challenging, fast-paced environment.

This is not a back-office coordination role. You will lead the mechanical strategy and delivery across shell, core and fit-out, from early-stage design resolution through to commissioning and client handover. You will be a senior voice within the delivery team, working closely with the wider services team, project directors, consultants, and top-tier subcontractors.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading mechanical coordination and design resolution across a major commercial development
• Managing delivery, quality assurance, technical compliance, and programme risk
• Overseeing commissioning, handover and close-out
• Acting as the mechanical lead across design workshops, technical reviews and client updates
• Working closely with construction leads to maintain programme and performance

What You’ll Bring

We are looking for someone with a strong record of managing large-scale mechanical packages on complex new build projects. The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience delivering major commercial or mixed-use projects in Central London
• Strong knowledge of mechanical systems, building services integration and commissioning
• Confidence leading consultant and subcontractor coordination
• The ability to drive performance and resolve issues in a fast-paced site environment
• A clear, assertive communication style with senior-level credibility

Why Apply

• Up to £120,000 salary depending on experience
• Strong package with bonus, private healthcare, and pension
• A pivotal role on one of London’s flagship live developments
• Support from a technically strong MEP leadership team
• A long-term opportunity to grow into senior services leadership
