We have an exciting new opportunity for you to join YTL Construction UK and work on one of the largest and most exciting private regeneration projects in the UK as an MEP Construction Manager.

We are currently transforming the historic former Filton Airfield – the birthplace of Concorde and supersonic travel – into a thriving new neighbourhood for Bristol, known as Brabazon.

What you'll do

You will be responsible for the coordination, on-site execution, and delivery of all MEP (mechanical, electrical, and public health works) on assigned construction projects. 

You will ensure safe, high-quality, cost-effective, and on-schedule delivery of MEP systems from pre-construction to commissioning and handover.

You will act as the secondary MEP authority during the construction stage on methodology, compliance, stakeholder alignment and integrated system commissioning. 

You will manage the MEP works in large-scale residential, commercial, or infrastructure developments, and will work closely with MEP project management, design consultants, subcontractors, and the wider project delivery team.

Your core responsibilities will include:

• leading the on-site delivery of MEP construction activities in line with programme, cost, safety, and quality objectives

• working with the project planner to develop, update, and monitor the MEP programme
• assisting in the procurement of MEP subcontractors and suppliers, including scope definition and tender review
• ensuring subcontractors are fully briefed on scope, deliverables, and commercial constraints
• reviewing and coordinating MEP shop drawings, builder's work drawings, RAMS, method statements, and material submittals
• ensuring installation works comply with design intent, statutory standards (such as UK Building Regulations, BS/EN), and client specifications
• leading quality inspections and snagging of MEP works, drive closure of NCRs and punch lists
• promoting and enforcing high standards of HSE on-site in line with project and corporate policies.

You will ideally be degree qualified in mechanical or electrical engineering, however other qualifications with relevant experience will also be considered.

A relevant CSCS manager's card will be required, along with SMSTS or an equivalent health and safety qualification.
