Design Manager (MEP)
London
£85/110k & Excellent Benefits Package

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer working within a Consultancy looking to move to the “other side of the fence” and progress into a Design Management role with a highly respected Mechanical & Electrical Contractor,

You will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, free from micromanagement, while playing a key role in shaping and developing the design management function. The business operates exclusively on Central London projects, eliminating the travel demands and inefficiencies often associated with wider regional coverage.

Established for over 20 years, this privately owned M&E Contractor has achieved consistent, structured growth through strategic appointments and a commitment to delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions. Their portfolio spans refurbishment, fit-out, maintenance, and upgrade projects across the commercial, industrial, education, and healthcare sectors.

The company benefits from a loyal, repeat-client base and has built a reputation for delivering projects professionally, collaboratively, and without unnecessary complexity.

Unlike many contractors, all operational staff are directly employed, ensuring consistency, accountability, and quality throughout project delivery. A carefully selected supply chain of trusted subcontractors operates to established installation standards, health and safety procedures, and quality plans, creating a stable, low-risk project environment.

Offering a complete in-house service, including Design & Build, Pre-Construction, Project Management, Site Supervision, Commissioning, and Maintenance, the business promotes close collaboration between design, estimating, and delivery teams from concept through to completion.

Culturally, this is a mature, non-adversarial environment where experienced professionals are trusted to do their jobs. Decision-making is fast, bureaucracy is minimal, and expertise is genuinely valued.

Why Join?

  • Genuine opportunity to transition from Design into Management.
  • Significant autonomy and influence within the business.
  • Central London project portfolio only.
  • Established, financially stable contractor with a strong reputation.
  • Collaborative and supportive senior leadership team.
  • Clear opportunity to help shape the future of the design function.
