James Lewis are currently assisting a key client in their search for a Mechanical Site Manager to join an M&E Contractor who have been well established for over 20 years.
As a privately owned Mechanical & Electrical Building Services contractor they provide services across Design & Build, full M&E services, HVAC, IT infrastructures, CCTV, security, access control and fire alarms. Founded upon sound practises, quality installations and working closely with their clients they have a diverse portfolio of projects which include, commercial, education, custodial, residential and healthcare ranging in value up to 20m.
The project involves the refurbishment of a large mixed-use scheme near Oxford with a total M&E value in excess of 15m. The project is live with a build programme running through to Spring 2025. Due to the unusual nature of this project our client is relatively open to previous experience, although any experience on custodial projects would be deemed an advantage.

- Complete accurate materials take off in line with the project procurement process
- Compile project RAMS and ensure they are updated as the project progresses

The client is keeping an open mind around day rates, but they are likely to be in the region of 280 - 340/Day. Please note that previous experience on UK-based projects is essential in order to be considered.
