Job Description

Mechanical Engineers / Managers (x2)
Super Prime Residential – Central London & Essex
£55k - £80k + Benefits 

The Company

A privately owned and financially robust main contractor with turnover exceeding £150m is seeking two experienced Mechanical Engineers / Managers to join their in-house MEP team.

The business is known for delivering high-end construction projects across super prime residential, commercial, hotel, and mixed-use sectors, with project values typically between £10m and £70m+. The group also includes development and investment arms and has ambitious growth plans underpinned by substantial capital investment.

The Opportunities

Due to ongoing expansion and project wins, the company is seeking to appoint two Mechanical Engineers / Managers for the following key schemes:

  • Project 1 – Essex: A £60m+ private residence with extensive MEP requirements. The focus is on AC and ventilation systems, delivered to the highest specification on a large-scale single dwelling project.

  • Project 2 – Central London: A £20m luxury apartment conversion within a live building and conservation area. This scheme demands careful coordination of high-end residential mechanical installations in a complex, sensitive environment.

Both roles involve managing the company’s own in-house MEP workforce, not subcontractors. You will report to the Senior Project Manager and be responsible for leading the installation, undertaking take-offs, ordering materials, and ensuring all works are delivered to programme and standard.

The Role

  • Oversee mechanical installations on site

  • Carry out take-offs and manage material procurement

  • Guide and supervise the internal MEP team

  • Liaise closely with design, commercial, and delivery teams

  • Ensure quality, compliance, and coordination of services

The Candidate

  • A strong background in mechanical engineering within the construction or M&E subcontracting sector

  • Experience as a Mechanical Engineer, Supervisor, or Manager delivering residential or hotel projects

  • Capable of both managing people and getting hands-on where needed

  • Comfortable interpreting technical drawings, ordering kit, and driving installations

  • Knowledge of AC, ventilation, and high-spec residential systems preferred
