Apply for the Mechanical Contracts Manager
Location: Magherafelt
Job Description:

Mechanical Contracts Manager – no GB travel.

Ever wanted your name on one of the biggest builds in this area for years?

This industrial site is going through a £100+ million expansion the kind of project that doesn’t come around often, and the kind that looks very good on a CV.

As Mechanical Contracts Manager, you’d be leading the mechanical delivery on it from contract signature right through to handover.

Is this you?

You’ve run projects of real scale and complexity before, not just kept them ticking over.

You know construction, installation and commissioning sequences well enough to spot a problem before it becomes one.

You’d rather own a project outright than be one more layer of sign-off on someone else’s.

If that’s you, keep reading.

What you’ll be doing

  • Taking full responsibility for a specific project from contract signature to handover
  • Owning health, safety and welfare at site level no passing it up the chain
  • Overseeing the full commissioning process against the employer’s requirements
  • Working with the Quantity Surveyor to keep costs, variations and reporting on track
  • Managing the client relationship directly, including handover and after-care

Where you’ll be doing it

This business has been delivering mechanical and electrical building services for the last forty years, working across the UK and Ireland from offices across the UK and Ireland. Their ethos is built on collaboration, ownership and delivery which matters, because on a project like this, all three get tested for real.

What you’ll need

  • HND or equivalent in a related engineering discipline
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar contracts management role
  • Solid knowledge of health, safety and environmental legislation
  • Confidence leading a team and delegating without losing control of the detail

What you’ll get

The chance to lead delivery on a genuinely landmark project, backed by a contractor with 70 years in the industry and accreditations (ISO 9001, Safe Contractor, NICEIC) that back up the claim.
