Project Manager – Mechanical Installation

  • Industry: Large‑Scale Commercial Mechanical Installation Projects.
  • Location: Home-based with regular UK travel to sites covering London to Midlands.
  • Qualification: Prince2 required
  • Salary Circa: £50,000 to £60,000 p.a.
  • Contract: Full-Time, Permanent (Remote & Mobile Working).

If you’re a Project Manager with a strong mechanical installation background who knows all there is to know about commercial pipes and pumps, loves variety, thrives on responsibility and wants to see your work make a real impact, this could be the role that genuinely moves your career forward!

Our client delivers complex, high‑profile commercial fire protection installation projects across the UK from major prison builds to restaurant fit‑outs. They are growing fast, and are looking for someone who can take ownership, bring structure, and lead projects from the first conversation to the final commissioning sign‑off.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Freedom with responsibility: work from home, manage your own schedule, and stay close to the action with regular site visits.
  • Serious variety: one month you might be supporting a huge custodial development, the next you’re delivering a fast‑paced commercial installation.
  • Real influence: you’ll shape how projects are planned, delivered, and closed, using proper APM‑level methodology.
  • A team that backs you: you’ll join a business that values engineering excellence, clear communication, and people who take pride in doing things properly.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll lead the safe, successful delivery of installation or Fire Protection Systems projects, ensuring they hit their commitments on time, cost, and quality. That means planning, coordinating, problem‑solving, managing stakeholders, and keeping everything moving smoothly from day one to handover.

What You’ll Bring:

  • A solid background in Mechanical Installation of Large Pumps or Pipes, or HVAC / Heating, or Fire Protection Systems.
  • Experience delivering large‑scale commercial mechanical installation projects.
  • A structured, methodical approach to project management.
  • Confidence managing full project lifecycles.
  • Experience with water mist or fire sprinkler systems is a bonus.
  • Prince 2 Qualification is essential to have for this position.

What’s In It For You:

  • Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 based on your experience, plus a profit share to add a little extra sparkle to your pay packet.
  • Holiday: 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
  • Benefits: Life insurance (x3 your salary post-probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Work-Life Balance: 45-hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility towards working times due to the nature of the work.
  • Company Perks: Two all-expenses-paid company events each year – one in the summer, one in the winter.
  • Company Car: you have the option to have a company car once you have successfully completed your probationary period.

If you’re motivated, organised, and ready to take on projects that genuinely challenge and develop you, you’ll fit right in. Don’t miss this opportunity to take the next step in your career – apply now!
