• Overseeing sub-contractors and ensuring high standards of health, safety, and quality.
• Procurement of plant and specialist mechanical equipment.
• Working closely with the Commercial and Design teams to keep the project on track and under budget.

What we are looking for:

• A solid background in Mechanical Engineering (HNC/HND or Degree preferred).
• Experience working for an M&E sub-contractor on projects over £5M.
• A drive to take ownership of packages and a "problem-solving" mindset.
• Ambition, someone who wants to progress into a Senior role or Project Management.

Why Join?

• Package: A highly competitive salary, travel allowance, and a market-leading benefits package.
