MEP Project Manager 

We’re recruiting on behalf of a leading infrastructure contractor delivering complex, secure, and high-value projects across the South West. They are seeking an experienced MEP Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of mechanical, electrical, and public health packages on a major infrastructure programme.

This role would suit a strong project leader with a multidisciplinary background, a deep understanding of MEP integration, and proven experience in controlled environments such as defence, nuclear, or similarly regulated sectors. You must be eligible for UK security clearance due to the sensitive nature of the project.

• Manage the full lifecycle delivery of MEP packages, from design coordination and procurement through to installation, commissioning, and handover.

• Coordinate across internal design, commercial, and construction teams as well as external consultants and subcontractors.

• Ensure compliance with technical standards, project milestones, safety, and quality expectations.

• Lead interface management between mechanical, electrical, civil, and architectural disciplines.

• Act as the key point of contact for MEP progress, risk mitigation, and issue resolution across multiple stakeholders.

• Deliver works in accordance with contract requirements, programme timelines, and cost targets.

• Monitor MEP subcontractor performance, ensuring adherence to statutory and project-specific requirements, including those linked to working in secure or controlled zones.

Essential:

• Strong project or package management experience across MEP systems on infrastructure or major build projects.

• Proven ability to lead coordination across multi-disciplinary teams.

• Experience working within highly regulated or controlled environments (e.g., defence, nuclear, Rail, or similar).

• Excellent knowledge of installation standards, commissioning procedures, and health and safety compliance.

• Strong stakeholder communication and leadership skills.

• Eligible for UK Security Clearance (minimum 5 years UK residency required).

Desirable:

• Experience working on government, MOD, or secure infrastructure frameworks.

• HNC/HND or degree in Building Services Engineering, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role on a nationally significant, high-security infrastructure programme. If you’re a motivated MEP professional ready for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you:  (url removed)
