Overview

Project Manager - Mechanical Installation

Industry: Large‑Scale Commercial Mechanical Installation Projects.

Location: Home-based with regular UK travel to sites covering London to Midlands.

Qualification: Prince2 required

Salary Circa: £50,000 to £60,000 p.a.

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent (Remote & Mobile Working).

Role Summary

If you're a Project Manager with a strong mechanical installation background who knows all there is to know about commercial pipes and pumps, loves variety, thrives on responsibility and wants to see your work make a real impact, this role could genuinely move your career forward.

Our client delivers complex, high‑profile commercial fire protection installation projects across the UK from major prison builds to restaurant fit‑outs. They are growing fast and are looking for someone who can take ownership, bring structure, and lead projects from the first conversation to the final commissioning sign‑off.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Freedom with responsibility: work from home, manage your own schedule, and stay close to the action with regular site visits.
  • Serious variety: one month you might be supporting a huge custodial development, the next you're delivering a fast‑paced commercial installation.
  • Real influence: you'll shape how projects are planned, delivered, and closed, using proper APM‑level methodology.
  • A team that backs you: you'll join a business that values engineering excellence, clear communication, and people who take pride in doing things properly.
What You'll Be Doing

You'll lead the safe, successful delivery of installation or Fire Protection Systems projects, ensuring they hit their commitments on time, cost, and quality. That means planning, coordinating, problem‑solving, managing stakeholders, and keeping everything moving smoothly from day one to handover.

What You'll Bring
  • A solid background in Mechanical Installation of Large Pumps or Pipes, or HVAC / Heating, or Fire Protection Systems.
  • Experience delivering large‑scale commercial mechanical installation projects.
  • A structured, methodical approach to project management.
  • Confidence managing full project lifecycles.
  • Experience with water mist or fire sprinkler systems is a bonus.
  • Prince 2 Qualification is essential to have for this position.
What’s In It For You
  • Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 based on your experience, plus a profit share to add a little extra sparkle to your pay packet.
  • Holiday: 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
  • Benefits: Life insurance (x3 your salary post‑probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Work‑Life Balance: 45‑hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility towards working times due to the nature of the work.
  • Company Perks: Two all‑expenses‑paid company events each year - one in the summer, one in the winter.
  • Company Car: you have the option to have a company car once you have successfully completed your probationary period.
How to Apply

If you're motivated, organised, and ready to take on projects that genuinely challenge and develop you, you'll fit right in. Don’t miss this opportunity to take the next step in your career - apply now!

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.
