Mechanical Construction Manager – London

At Dornan we are currently recruiting for a Mechanical Construction Manager to join a Data Centre Project in London. This is an opportunity to play a key role on a high‑profile site, leading Mechanical delivery and helping drive project excellence from start to completion.

Your Team

You'll join a hardworking, ambitious, and supportive team where your ideas matter and your development is genuinely prioritised. At Dornan, we invest in long‑term career growth through structured progression pathways and continuous training support.

Responsibilities

In this full‑time, fixed‑term role, you'll work closely with the Project Manager to coordinate and deliver mechanical works to the highest standards.

  • Help plan and sequence activities
  • Support supervision of site teams
  • Ensure all works meet programme requirements, technical specifications, and Dornan's safety standards
  • Your work will span planning, overseeing labour and materials, monitoring progress, maintaining quality and compliance, and ensuring safe, efficient site operations
  • Be involved in everything from short‑term lookaheads and cost awareness to supporting commissioning, handover, and collaboration with subcontractors, suppliers, and client teams
  • Play a key part in maintaining site discipline, supporting apprentices, ensuring equipment and materials are effectively managed, and escalating any issues that impact productivity or scope

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
