Mechanical Project Manager (Pipework) Location: Bristol (Farrington Gurney area), office based with site visits as required Salary: £70,000 to £90,000 plus package, depending on experience
About the company
A well established mechanical pipework and offsite manufacturing specialist with 25 years of experience, delivering pipework engineering, specialist welding, prefabricated plant skids and modular assembly across London, the South West and the Midlands. The business works with building services and industrial clients on their most critical projects.
This is a growing business of 70 people, investing in its delivery team as it scales. This role is about taking full ownership of project delivery and running your own projects with confidence.
The role
You will manage your mechanical pipework projects end to end, from programme and resource through to commercial performance, reporting into the operations and contracts management layer rather than being micromanaged. The business trusts its people to own their work, so you will have the room to run things your way with support around you when you need it.
This is a hands on delivery role for a genuine pipework specialist who wants real ownership and a clear path to progress as the business grows.
Key responsibilities
- Manage mechanical pipework projects end to end, from programme through to completion
- Oversee site teams, subcontractors and programme delivery across your projects
- Take ownership of commercial performance, including cost, margin, valuations and reporting
- Plan and manage labour and resource to keep projects on time, on budget and to spec
- Read and interpret drawings and schematics, understanding how each pipework package goes together
- Prepare RAMS and uphold health, safety and quality standards on site
- Build and maintain strong client and supply chain relationships
- Keep the operations and contracts team informed with clear progress and metrics
- Proven experience as a Mechanical Project Manager within building services or mechanical contracting
- Genuine pipework expertise, which is non negotiable for this role
- Strong understanding of how a mechanical pipework package comes together on site, not just on paper
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and run projects with minimal oversight
- Good commercial awareness, including cost control, variations and reporting
- Confident and credible with clients, able to stand on your own two feet
- Experience across commercial, healthcare, industrial or fit out sectors
- Exposure to offsite manufacturing, modular or prefabricated pipework
- Experience within a growing contractor where you have shaped how things are done
What we offer
- Salary of £70,000 to £90,000 plus package, depending on experience
- Genuine autonomy and ownership of your own projects
- A growing business doing quality work, with real investment in offsite manufacturing
- A clear path to progress as the company scales
- A performance driven culture where you get out what you put in
Who this suits
This will suit a mechanical PM who lives and breathes pipework and wants more ownership than their current seat allows. If you want to run your own projects properly, without being checked up on, and grow with an ambitious business, this is for you.
