Salary: £66,000 – £78,000 per year

Mechanical Contract Manager – Retail

Parkinson Gray Associates are the leading Yorkshire-based building services recruitment business. Our Client has engaged us to recruit for this crucial role within their organisation.

This building services contractor is one of the leading independently owned MEP contractors operating in our region. Having seen significant expansion into the retail sector recently, they are looking to appoint someone at a senior level to head up their retail offering. As retail focused Contract Manager you will have a specific focus on leading their work within this division mechanically as well as growing it.

Retail work is particularly challenging but rewarding. The nature of the work means that work is often allocated on framework agreements, meaning that projects are divided amongst selected pre-approved contractors, working directly with the end users. It will be your responsibility to deliver projects up and down the Country for their existing Client base. The work is often fast-paced and geographically spread out. Retail contracting requires a high-paced outlook and a specific focus on the needs of the Client, in order to ensure long-term and enduring business relationships. Of course, whilst this role is office based, there will be significant travel with the role.

We anticipate recruiting someone for this role with a background in retail MEP contracting. There are a handful of retail MEP contractors in the Yorkshire region, most likely you are working for one of those. My Client is particularly interested in hearing from Candidates who are at the Key Account level within their business, or who have a strong relationship with a large national retailer’s engineering team. Whilst it is always unwise to promise a Candidate can bring work with them into a new role my Client is hoping to attract someone who can bring their relationships with them, in order to provide the potential to develop a new Client. They see retail as a key part of their expansion and this important acquisition is an important part of that.

To you, the Candidate: –

I want to speak with you if you have 1) extensive retail experience within a building services environment, 2) a proven track record of project delivery within this sector, 3) have worked at a senior level in order to continue working relationships with retail Clients and to develop new ones.

If this is you then this is a serious opportunity you really should know about. This is an exciting business that has experienced significant expansion in recent years. As a result, they are able to offer good career progression, based on performance of course, and a competitive remuneration package.
