Job Description

We are currently seeking an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to lead the delivery of a complex 25m mechanical package on a prestigious 250m hospital extension and refurbishment project in Plymouth, Devon.
This is an opportunity to work with a top-tier MEP subcontractor, delivering critical healthcare infrastructure that will significantly improve medical facilities in the region.
While this is a senior, managerial role overseeing the mechanical delivery team, we are specifically looking for an on-site, hands-on leader--someone who is out in the field actively supervising the works and engaging directly with teams, not someone who prefers managing solely from behind a desk.
Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee day-to-day site operations for the mechanical scope of works
• Manage site teams, subcontractors, and coordinate with other trades on-site
• Ensure works are delivered safely, on time, and to the highest quality standards
• Collaborate with design, commercial, and planning teams to align resources and programme
• Lead and participate in progress meetings with the client and main contractor
• Promote and enforce a strong health & safety culture across all site activities
• Track progress against programme and proactively manage risks and issues as they arise

Requirements:

• Proven experience delivering large-scale mechanical construction packages (10m+)
• Background with a recognised MEP subcontractor (not a main contractor)
• Experience in complex, regulated environments such as healthcare or life sciences (preferred)
• Strong leadership and team coordination skills
• SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid certifications (or equivalent)
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and schematics
• Technically astute and commercially aware

What's on Offer:

• Opportunity to work on a nationally significant healthcare project
• Long-term career prospects with a respected MEP contractor
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Supportive, delivery-focused, and safety-first working environment
