Mechanical Project Manager

Group Metropolitan was founded in 1985 as an electrical contractor carrying out small moves and changes projects for a select few clients. Over the past 35 years, we have grown into a turnkey Principal Contractor offering in-house tradespeople, with a projected turnover of £90m. This has been achieved by working collaboratively with our clients to understand their needs and become an extension of their business,’ expanding our service offerings and geography to meet the expectations required. Whilst the business has seen organic growth over the years, our core values of Safety, Quality, Integrity and People, remain the same. 

The Project Manager is to deliver an on-going project, day to day business as usual and re-active works to Metropolitan standards, the required programme and to the maximum commercial performance. The role also involves working closely with the client representatives, estimating department, engineers and other site teams to ensure that projects are completed in a safe manner, whilst ensuring customer requirements and expectations are always maintained or exceeded.
The candidate will be a key contributor from conception, through the design stages, managing the delivery and ensuring that each project is successfully handed over and closed out in a professional manner to the highest of standards.
