About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to support the design, delivery, and operation of mission-critical facilities, with a strong focus on data centre environments.

Ensuring all works comply with design specifications, contracts, and regulatory requirements, liaising with client representatives, consultants, and internal stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery, and proactively identifying and mitigating project risks are critical to this role. You will also lead coordination and progress meetings, support testing, commissioning, and final system handover processes, and drive a strong site culture focused on safety, quality, coordination, and delivery excellence.

Strict adherence to health, safety, and environmental standards across all MEP activities is required.

You have excellent communication and coordination abilities, capable of working effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders. You are committed to safety, quality, and delivery excellence, and thrive in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment.
