Job Description

Head of Projects (Mechanical & Electrical) - Fantastic earning potential
East London (base - 10 mins from Central line station) - work across London and surrounding areas

We're partnering with a technical building services contractor delivering mechanical and electrical upgrades, systems improvements, lifecycle replacements and project support across healthcare, hospitality, commercial offices, education and industrial environments.

They're growing fast, tightening processes, improving reporting and getting more corporate - but not too corporate. Think: still practical, still straightforward, but with fewer spreadsheets that ask you for Macros Enabled? every 10 minutes. They're financially robust, growing rapidly, and bringing more structure in-yet they've managed to preserve that hands-on, let's just get it done mentality. They're moving toward a more corporate framework, but without the bureaucracy: no 14-step approvals, decisions happen fast, and they retain their grassroots, practical ethos-true to their M&E roots

They're now searching for a Head of Projects to own a £3m division: delivering work, leading clients, and - yes - winning new opportunities. Not in a cheesy sales-y way. In a clients trust me because I actually know what I'm talking about way - and boy will you be rewarded for it!

What you'll do:
•  Lead a £3m project portfolio across multiple sectors
•  Manage delivery through site managers (you will not personally be fitting actuators at 6am… unless you miss it)
•  Build and strengthen client relationships, winning work through expertise and common sense
•  Drive forecasting, commercial decisions and reporting
•  Help improve internal processes as the business scales
•  Support the shift from cradle-to-grave PMing to a more account-led model

You'll fit if you:
•  Have PM (with the ability to step up) or HoP experience in M&E or building services
•  Can run £2m-£5m workstreams without needing a daily pep talk
•  Are commercially sharp and comfortable winning work by being competent, not pushy
•  Have on-site credibility - respected by installers and FM managers alike
•  Are ambitious, resilient and allergic to corporate fluff

What's on offer:
•  The autonomy to run and grow your own division
•  A bonus structure that genuinely rewards performance (the kind that makes you think twice before ever leaving)
•  A leadership team that supports you and won't micromanage
•  A company that's levelling up - giving you real influence in how things evolve

If you enjoy responsibility, commercial ownership and being paid properly for delivering results, this is absolutely worth a chat.

DM for the full brief.

This is a senior role with real potential and an excellent bonus scheme. Am available for a discreet conversation:
