We’re looking for an experienced MEP Project Manager to take the reins on a flagship £230 million data centre build in the London Docklands. This is a major, technically complex project with a 3-year build programme – the perfect challenge for a confident leader with deep MEP knowledge.

- Chair regular coordination meetings to keep momentum and alignment across all stakeholders
- Conduct site inspections and ensure technical compliance to spec, drawings, and best practice
- Tackle issues head-on, resolving challenges quickly and professionally across the project lifecycle
- Maintain accurate project documentation, progress updates, and reporting for internal teams and client stakeholders
- Work closely with design teams, engineers, and consultants to meet project milestones and overcome technical hurdles
- Proactively manage risk and drive strategies to minimise impact on time and cost
What We’re Looking For:
- Degree-qualified in Mechanical, Electrical, or Building Services Engineering, or similar
- Strong experience in a similar MEP PM role, ideally with data centres or large technical builds
- A solid grasp of MEP systems, project sequencing, and site execution
- Confident communicator with proven leadership skills
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
- Knowledge of project management tools/software
- PMP or equivalent project certification (desirable but not essential)
Why Join?
- Be part of a high-profile, long-term £230M build
- Company known for internal promotion and career progression
- Competitive salary £65K – £75K + car allowance
- Work with a supportive, high-performing team in one of the UK’s fastest-growing sectors
