Overview
NXT Recruitment is delighted to be recruiting for an experienced M&E Project Manager on behalf of a growing construction, engineering and renewable energy business based in Cumbria.
This is a varied and hands-on project management role covering mechanical and electrical projects across Cumbria and South West Scotland.
