Mechanical Site Manager

Description:

Mechanical Site Manager
There is a certain thrill to working on big projects, more money with larger teams and higher stakes. This role is based on the £20m M&E refurbishment of IRC Campsfield starting at the end of May 24 so if you are interested then read on.
The Project
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. The company has been founded upon sound practises, quality installations and working closely with their clients on a range of projects which include, commercial, education, residential, healthcare, data centres and healthcare ranging in value up to £20m.
The project involves the refurbishment of an existing custodial centre near Oxford which was last used in 2018. The redevelopment forms part of the government plans to provide safe, secure and fit for purpose detained accommodation for those awaiting removal from the UK. Due to nature of the building, there are various elements to it which include accommodation, a medical centre, sports facilities/gymnasium, educational facilities, catering areas and a library with a total M&E value in the region of £20m. Due to the bulk of their current workforce being based either Essex or Kent based they are looking to build a new team within a commutable distance to the Oxford area.
The scheme is due to go to site in January with a build program of a minimum of 12 months securing your employment for 2024. 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.

They have also spent a great deal of time creating a culture of promotion and retention, some of their Project Directors started with them as electricians, plumbers or engineers.
