Guildford HQ | Up to £70K + £5K Car Allowance

Want to work for a growing mechanical contractor where you’re trusted to run projects properly, not buried in layers of process?

This is an opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Contract Manager to join a business that has doubled turnover since 2019, secured a full order book for next year, and is targeting £35M turnover in the next few years.

You’ll deliver refurbishment and energy projects across schools, hospitals, universities and commercial buildings, focused around:

• Air source heat pumps
• Mechanical plant
• LHTW & chilled water pipework
• Large heating systems
• Connections into existing infrastructure

Projects range from £100K - £4M and are delivered directly for end-user clients.

The Role

As a Mechanical Contract Manager, you’ll take ownership of projects from pre-construction through to completion, including:

• Programme management
• Subcontractor coordination
• Health & Safety
• Technical submissions
• Cost control & variations
• Client management
• Site team leadership

What They’re Looking For

This role suits a hands-on Mechanical Contract Manager with strong building services experience who still understands site delivery.

You’ll ideally have:

• Mechanical/building services background
• Experience with pipework & plant systems
• Refurbishment/live environment project experience
• Strong commercial awareness
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Why Join?

• Stable, growing business
• Full pipeline of secured work
• Genuine progression opportunities
• Supportive environment with work-life balance
• Flexibility earned through trust, not micromanagement
