M&E Small Works Manager
Overview
We are currently seeking an M&E Small Works Manager in Bury to take ownership of a growing small works and servicing stream, typically £50k and below, across the North-West.
This role suits someone who enjoys running multiple smaller projects properly, keeping clients informed, and delivering clean, compliant works in live environments.

Alongside delivery, there’s a real opportunity to help shape and grow the small works offering, improving structure, consistency and client experience.
