This is a varied, hands-on role working across commercial mechanical projects throughout the South Coast, with a particular focus on hospitals, healthcare facilities, schools and other commercial environments.

This is not a static site role. The work is varied, and the successful candidate will need to be comfortable moving between different projects, working across different environments and taking ownership of their work.

One week you could be installing commercial pipework on a larger project, another day fitting sanitaryware or carrying out alterations, and another day attending a different site to assist with mechanical services.

Role Details:

• Location: Portsmouth / Southampton / South Coast.
• Salary: TBC, depending on experience.
• Hours: 40 hours per week.
• Overtime: Available at enhanced rates.
• Start: Immediate start available for the right person.

Our client’s mechanical projects typically range from around £200k to £800k, with a significant amount of their work taking place within hospitals and healthcare environments, including projects associated with new MRI, CT and other specialist scanner installations.

Typical work includes:

• Commercial plumbing and pipework.
• Copper pipework up to approximately 54mm.
• Black iron pipework.
• Commercial heating systems.
• Chilled water systems.
• Domestic water services.
• Sanitary ware and alterations.
• Installation, modification and maintenance of existing systems.
• Working alongside other mechanical and electrical trades.
• Smaller reactive and project-based works.

The type of person we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who is experienced, practical and dependable, with the ability to work independently and represent the company professionally. The ideal candidate would be flexible, professional and takes ownership — someone who can attend a site, deal confidently with the client, communicate effectively with the project team and get the job done properly.

The successful candidate should be comfortable:

• Working across multiple sites and projects.
• Meeting and communicating with clients.
• Liaising with project managers and other trades.
• Taking responsibility for their own work.
• Working from drawings and project requirements.
• Solving problems on site without needing constant supervision.
• Adapting to different types of work and environments.
• Maintaining a high standard of workmanship.
• Travelling around the South Coast when required.

Time-served experience and the right attitude are more important initially than having every qualification on paper.

Our client is a relatively small, friendly company, and finding the right fit for the business is important. This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work and is happy to get involved wherever required.

If you prefer turning up to the same site every day and doing the same type of pipefitting for months on end, this probably won’t be the right role for you.

The Package:

• 40-hour basic working week.
• Overtime available.
• Enhanced overtime rates.
• Company van for business and reasonable private use.
• Company phone.
• Laptop/tablet where required.
• Holiday entitlement.
• Sick pay.
• Company-provided hotel/accommodation when staying away is required.
• Varied commercial projects across the South Coast.
• Opportunity to take on additional responsibility as the company grows.

Location & Travel:

• Projects are predominantly across the South Coast, so travel between sites is an important part of the role.
• Where projects are further afield and staying away makes practical sense, hotel accommodation will be provided.

Start Date:

• We’re looking to appoint as soon as possible for the right person.
• There is no desire to rush the recruitment process simply to fill the position. Finding someone who is genuinely the right fit for the business is more important than making a quick appointment.
