MEP Contracting | Commercial Fit-Out & Refurb Projects

Some businesses talk about progression. Others actively create it.

My client is one of the fastest-growing MEP Contractors in the UK, delivering high-profile commercial fit-out and Shell & Core projects across London and the South East. Despite their growth, they have retained the culture and agility that made them successful in the first place, trusting their people, keeping decision-making close to the project, and giving employees the autonomy to develop their careers.

They are looking to appoint a Mechanical Project Engineer to support the delivery of complex mechanical packages across a range of commercial projects. This opportunity would suit someone looking to move beyond simply coordinating information and become a key part of project delivery, with a clear pathway towards Project Management.
