ERSG are working with a leading project delivery organisation on a high-profile build, and we're looking for a hands-on M&E Finishing Lead who thrives in the final, critical phase of delivery.

If you enjoy taking ownership, solving problems on site, and pushing projects through to a successful finish - this is where you make your mark.

This role isn't about design meetings or early-stage planning. It's about being at the sharp end, getting systems commissioned, issues resolved, and the project handed over to the highest standard.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Taking full ownership of building services through to completion and handover
  • Driving progress on site, ensuring nothing slips as deadlines approach
  • Leading commissioning, testing, and system integration activities
  • Managing subcontractors and specialists to maintain momentum
  • Closing out snagging, defects, and final quality checks
  • Ensuring all handover documentation and certification is completed right first time

You'll be the person who turns "nearly there" into "job done."

What We're Looking For

We're interested in people who know what it takes to deliver under pressure:

  • Proven experience seeing projects through to Practical Completion
  • Strong M&E / Building Services background (electrical bias welcomed)
  • Comfortable leading teams and subcontractors in a live site environment
  • Hands-on involvement in commissioning, QA, and finishing stages
  • Must have UK working rights. This role does not provide sponsorship

If you're a delivery-focused M&E professional who takes pride in finishing projects properly - we want to hear from you.
