We are currently seeking an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to lead the delivery of a complex £25m mechanical package on a prestigious £250m hospital extension and refurbishment project in Plymouth, Devon.
This is an opportunity to work with a top-tier MEP subcontractor, delivering critical healthcare infrastructure that will significantly improve medical facilities in the region.
While this is a senior, managerial role overseeing the mechanical delivery team, we are specifically looking for an on-site, hands-on leader—someone who is out in the field actively supervising the works and engaging directly with teams, not someone who prefers managing solely from behind a desk.

Key Responsibilities:
•    Oversee day-to-day site operations for the mechanical scope of works
•    Manage site teams, subcontractors, and coordinate with other trades on-site
•    Ensure works are delivered safely, on time, and to the highest quality standards
•    Collaborate with design, commercial, and planning teams to align resources and programme
•    Lead and participate in progress meetings with the client and main contractor
•    Promote and enforce a strong health & safety culture across all site activities
•    Track progress against programme and proactively manage risks and issues as they arise

Requirements:
•    Proven experience delivering large-scale mechanical construction packages (£10m+)
•    Background with a recognised MEP subcontractor (not a main contractor)
•    Experience in complex, regulated environments such as healthcare or life sciences (preferred)
•    Strong leadership and team coordination skills
•    SMSTS, CSCS, First Aid certifications (or equivalent)
•    Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, specifications, and schematics
•    Technically astute and commercially aware

What’s on Offer:
•    Opportunity to work on a nationally significant healthcare project
•    Long-term career prospects with a respected MEP contractor
•    Competitive salary and benefits package
•    Supportive, delivery-focused, and safety-first working environment
