Summary

Mechanical Construction Manager
Location: Cambridge
Salary: Up to £75,000 + comprehensive package

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Mechanical Construction Manager to join a leading Tier 1 building services contractor on a major commercial development in Cambridge.

This role sits within a well-structured project environment, delivering a large-scale, technically complex scheme with a strong emphasis on quality, programme, and high standards of delivery.

The Opportunity
You will take ownership of the mechanical construction delivery on a flagship commercial project, managing site activities through to commissioning and handover. You'll be working within an experienced and supportive project team, on a scheme that offers both scale and technical challenge.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into a key site leadership role within a stable and growing business.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

  • Strong Pipeline of Work: A range of major commercial and technically complex projects across the region

  • People-Focused Business: Structured career development, regular reviews, and clear progression opportunities

  • Stable & Growing: Financially secure with significant planned growth and long-term projects secured

  • Low Staff Turnover: A business known for retaining and developing its teams

  • High Standards: Focus on delivering quality projects with the right processes and support in place

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee mechanical site delivery from installation through to commissioning

  • Coordinate subcontractors and ensure works are delivered safely and efficiently

  • Drive programme and quality standards on site

  • Work closely with project management, design, and commercial teams

  • Maintain strong site organisation and reporting

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Mechanical Construction Manager on medium to large-scale projects

  • Strong background within Tier 1 or well-established MEP contractors

  • Experience delivering commercial projects (essential)

  • Excellent coordination and site management skills

  • A proactive and professional approach on site

What's on Offer

  • Flexible working where applicable (particularly during early project phases)

  • Performance-related bonus and share scheme

  • Above-market pension contribution

  • Private medical cover (including family)

  • Car allowance and travel expenses

  • Ongoing training and development

  • Clear long-term career progression within a growing business

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking contractor delivering high-quality projects, with long-term security and genuine career progression.
