Mechanical Project Manager – CAT B Fit Out

James Lewis Recruitment

Mechanical Project Manager – CAT B Fit Out (Central London)

Up to £80,000 + travel | Permanent | 2–3 days hybrid

If you’re tired of being the person who inherits problems at install stage, this is the role where you own delivery properly — from pre-start through commissioning and handover — on fast-track CAT B schemes where pace matters and good planning actually gets rewarded.

You’ll join a well-established design and build building services contractor delivering CAT B commercial fit out projects across Central London, typically up to £1.5m. This is hands-on, multi-project delivery: multiple live jobs, tight programmes, busy interfaces, and the expectation that you can keep quality and commercial control while still getting things built.

What you’ll do

*

Run projects end-to-end: pre-start, site mobilisation, delivery, commissioning and handover

*

Control programme: short-term lookaheads, progress reporting, sequencing and recovery planning

*

Own procurement and logistics: plant/material orders, deliveries, and working around site constraints

*

Manage labour and subcontractors: productivity, quality checks, coordination and output

*

Drive technical flow: submittals, RFIs, and coordination with design teams where needed

*

Lead meetings and actions: keep interfaces moving and close issues fast across trades

*

Support commercial performance: cost control and variations alongside the commercial team

*

Close out properly: snagging, handover documentation and O&M manuals to a clean finish

What you’ll need

*

Proven experience delivering CAT B commercial fit out mechanical packages in London

*

A mechanical building services background (time served or academically qualified)

*

Track record managing projects up to £1.5m in a fast-paced environment

*

Strong H&S awareness and solid site delivery best practice

*

Clear communication — able to manage multiple stakeholders and keep site aligned

Package

*

Up to £80,000 (dependent on experience)

*

Travel

*

2–3 days hybrid working

*

No additional perks
