Employment: Permanent
The Role
My client is looking for an experienced M&E Manager to take responsibility for the delivery of the mechanical and electrical services across a major construction project in Guildford, Surrey.
This is very much a boots on the ground, delivery focused role. They need somebody who is visible on site, comfortable managing specialist subcontractors and capable of driving the M&E package through installation, commissioning and final handover.

Key Responsibilities
- Take day to day responsibility for the M&E delivery on site
- Manage mechanical and electrical subcontractors and ensure works are progressing to programme
- Coordinate M&E activities with the wider construction programme
- Review drawings, specifications, technical submissions and installation information
- Identify design or coordination issues and drive them through to resolution
- Carry out quality inspections and ensure installations meet the required standards
- Manage QA documentation, inspections, testing and snagging
- Monitor subcontractor performance and challenge delays or poor workmanship
- Attend M&E coordination, progress and subcontractor meetings
- Work closely with the design team and consultants throughout the construction process
- Coordinate testing and commissioning activities
- Manage completion of snagging and outstanding works
- Ensure O&M information and handover documentation is completed correctly
- Maintain high standards of health and safety across all M&E activities
- Support the project team through practical completion and final handover
