Overview
We are working with an established HVAC / Mechanical contractor delivering the full MEP & HVAC package on a complex mixed-use development in Temple.
They are seeking a site-based MEP Programme Manager to work alongside the existing Project Management team, taking ownership of the short-term and finishing programmes and driving day-to-day delivery across all MEP disciplines.

Managing the programme on a day-to-day basis, ensuring alignment across all MEP disciplines
Regularly engaging with lead engineers and discipline supervisors (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC)
Issuing weekly targets, reviewing progress, and identifying risks to delivery
Challenging delays constructively and identifying what is required to recover or maintain programme
Feeding programme updates, constraints, and recovery plans back to the Project Managers for approval and implementation
Attending site meetings and coordinating across multiple workstreams
This role is focused on coordination, communication, and programme control, not commercial or contractual management.

The ideal candidate will come from an MEP site delivery background and be confident operating across multiple disciplines.
Essential experience:
Background in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical disciplines
Strong working understanding of all MEP systems, though not necessarily a technical expert in one trade
