Summary

Senior M&E Project Manager - Major Commercial Project (London)

£95,000-£100,000 + Excellent Package
Leading Building Services Contractor

A well-respected Building Services Contractor is seeking a Senior M&E Project Manager to lead a flagship commercial decarbonisation and refurbishment project in Central London. This senior role sits within a growing division delivering major commercial, plant replacement and shell & core projects for prominent main contractors.

The Role

As Senior M&E Project Manager, you will take full ownership of project delivery, ensuring technical excellence, commercial control, and seamless integration of mechanical and electrical packages. Responsibilities include:

  • Leading the M&E delivery strategy from pre-construction to handover
  • Managing project teams, subcontractors, and internal engineering resources
  • Building strong working relationships with main contractors and clients
  • Overseeing design coordination, technical submissions, and change management
  • Ensuring compliance with quality, safety, and programme performance
  • Driving commissioning and project closeout

This position offers the autonomy to lead a high-profile London project while contributing to a team with forward momentum and an expanding pipeline.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Welcoming, people-focused culture:
The business is known for its genuine family feel. Recent internal feedback shows new starters feel welcomed, valued, and part of a supportive team. Cultural fit and character are central to their hiring approach.

Strong project pipeline:
With multiple major commercial and mixed-use schemes in delivery and pre-construction, the business is expanding through strengthened partnerships with major UK contractors.

Career development:
They offer one of the strongest progression and training frameworks in the MEP contracting sector, with well-defined pathways for senior leadership growth.

Excellent package:

  • £95,000-£100,000 salary
  • Enhanced pension with additional employer contributions
  • Strong bonus structure at senior levels
  • Continuous personal and professional development

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Proven experience delivering major M&E packages on large commercial or mixed-use projects
  • A solid background within established MEP contractors
  • Strong technical understanding across both mechanical and electrical systems
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • A collaborative mindset and commitment to delivering high-quality work

Candidates from reputable M&E contractors working on commercial schemes are encouraged to apply. Those with primarily residential experience are typically a less suitable fit.

Please call Lewis Calder from Fawkes and Reece London if you are interested in this position.
