Our client is a specialist in design and build mechanical solutions, not off-the-shelf packages. They are looking for an experienced and dynamic Mechanical Pre-Construction Manager / Estimator who can assess existing conditions, adapt intelligently, and shape practical mechanical strategies - not just follow pre-written specs.

This is a client-facing, hands-on pre-construction role where you'll be expected to roll up your sleeves, assess real-world conditions, and evolve mechanical systems that make sense technically, practically, and commercially.

Key responsibilities include:

Review and adapt existing mechanical installations, identifying workable, cost-effective solutions.

Develop and evolve design criteria - starting not from scratch, but from what already exists.

Interface with clients, landlords, and building contractors to understand real requirements and site constraints.

Engage the supply chain, go to market for pricing, and validate solutions from a cost and feasibility standpoint.

Prepare detailed cost plans and tenders, ensuring all solutions are grounded in what's buildable.

Offer value engineering advice, balancing performance, cost, and constructability.

What You'll Need:

Solid experience with a building services contractor

A background in design and build mechanical projects - adaptable, not spec-led.

Sharp ability to interrogate existing MEP systems and design around them.

Strong client-facing skills, with a confident and credible communication style.

Excellent commercial awareness and up-to-date market knowledge.

Organised, collaborative, and confident working across multiple stakeholders and teams.
