About the Role
Our client is looking for a
hands-on M&E Site Engineer / Mechanical Engineer / Plumber to join their established team on a permanent basis.
The successful candidate will be responsible for carrying out
mechanical engineering and plumbing works across commercial and retail fit-out projects, working primarily across the UK.

The position would suit an experienced Mechanical Engineer or Plumber who is confident working independently, dealing with clients and project teams, and is interested in developing their career towards
site management and project coordination.
An

Key Duties & Responsibilities
•
Mechanical & Plumbing Installation: Carry out mechanical engineering and plumbing works across retail and commercial fit-out projects, ensuring installations are completed to specification, drawings and relevant industry standards.
•
Site Coordination & Project Support: Work closely with the Project Manager to coordinate daily site activities, plan works, manage priorities and help ensure projects are delivered on programme.
•
Quality Control & Technical Support: Inspect completed works, assist with testing and commissioning, identify and resolve technical issues, and ensure all mechanical and plumbing installations meet the required quality standards.
•
Subcontractor & Stakeholder Liaison: Liaise professionally with subcontractors, suppliers, other trades, clients and project teams to coordinate works, resolve site issues and maintain effective communication throughout the project.
•
Health & Safety & Site Documentation: Ensure all works are carried out safely and in accordance with relevant H&S requirements, RAMS and site procedures. Assist with inspections, snagging, reporting and maintaining accurate project documentation.

• Proven experience as a
Mechanical Engineer, Site Engineer, Plumber or similar

Ideal Candidate

hands-on and technically capable Mechanical Engineer / Plumber who is comfortable working on live commercial and retail fit-out projects.
You will be reliable, organised and confident working independently, while also being able to communicate effectively with Project Managers, clients, subcontractors and other trades.
This role would particularly suit someone who wants to develop beyond purely hands-on engineering and take on
additional site management and project coordination responsibilities over time.
