Senior Electrical Project Manager

New Today

Why This Role Exists
This isnt a replacement. Its growth.
The business has secured a strong pipeline of technically demanding data centre and defence projects and is strengthening its senior delivery team to match that workload.
Theyre not looking for someone to manage paperwork. Theyre looking for someone who can take ownership of complex MEP packages and drive projects properly - commercially, technically and operationally.
If youre currently carrying major responsibility but constantly battling poor planning, weak procurement or unrealistic programmes, this is a step into a more structured environment.
The Business A well-established, privately owned main contractor delivering specialist schemes across:
Data centres

Defence infrastructure

Energy and secure environments

They operate a full design and build model and take pride in delivering technically complex projects properly - not chasing volume.
You wont be managing retail fit-outs or repetitive commercial CAT A jobs. These are high-specification, high-security projects where building services performance genuinely matters.
The Role You will operate as the senior MEP lead on major schemes, reporting to a Project Director and taking full ownership of building services delivery from pre-construction through commissioning and handover.
This includes:
Leading MEP delivery on technically complex projects

Managing programme, procurement and subcontractor performance

Driving commercial performance alongside the QS

Controlling change, risk and compliance

Leading commissioning strategy and handover

Coordinating site teams and specialist packages

Building strong client relationships

Youll be empowered to make decisions - not simply escalate problems.
What Makes This Interesting Large-scale, technically challenging schemes

Secure long-term pipeline in data & defence

Clear authority on site

Strong commercial support

Direct access to senior leadership

A business that invests in process and structure rather than firefighting

This is a role for someone who enjoys complexity and control - not chaos.

Experience in data centres, defence, infrastructure or other technically demanding schemes

Solid understanding of NEC or JCT contracts

Comfortable managing subcontractors and protecting commercial position

SMSTS, Black CSCS and relevant project management credentials expected.

The Package £85,000 - £95,000 basic (depending on experience)

Car allowance or vehicle

Performance-related bonus

Pension

25 days holiday + bank holidays

Clear progression path to Project Director level

Who This Suits A Senior Electrical PM ready for more scale and autonomy

An experienced MEP PM tired of constant programme slippage

Someone delivering big packages, but not recognised at senior level

A commercially aware project leader who values structure and long-term stability
