Because good projects don’t manage themselves.
If you’ve ever looked at a job spec and thought, “Alright, but what’s really involved?” — you’re in the right place. This isn’t just another list of duties and acronyms. It’s a role that genuinely matters to the team, the clients, and the company’s future.
Right now, we’re helping a leading M&E contractor in Wigan find an experienced Electrical Project Manager.
Someone who knows their way around commercial and industrial projects, can handle pressure, and keeps things moving when others might stall.
Job Title: Electrical Project Manager
Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 + bonus & benefits
Location: Wigan
Job Type: Permanent, Full-time
About the Company
Our client has been delivering building management systems and M&E installations for over 25 years. Their reputation is built on long-term client relationships, consistent delivery, and a practical, no-nonsense approach. Healthcare, education, commercial, industrial — they’ve done it all, and they’ve done it well.
They’re not a faceless national, and they’re not a start-up throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. They’re that solid, respected middle ground — and the kind of team you’ll enjoy working with.
Key Responsibilities
This is a classic boots-on-the-ground, sleeves-rolled-up role. You’ll be responsible for managing electrical packages from project award through to completion, making sure everything lands on time, on spec, and within budget. But more than that, you’ll be the link — between the office and the site, the client and the team, the spec and the final fix.
Expect your week to include:
Leading and coordinating electrical site teams
Reviewing and interpreting technical drawings and specs
Planning, programming, and monitoring progress on live projects
Managing suppliers and subcontractors to ensure quality and delivery
Attending client meetings and giving progress updates
Managing health & safety, RAMS, and compliance requirements
Supporting commercial teams with variations and cost control
Working closely with other project leads across mechanical and BMS packages
There’ll be site visits, supplier calls, last-minute tweaks, and the occasional moment where you’ll need to keep a cool head while solving something that wasn’t in the drawings. You know the drill.
Skills & Experience Required
Solid experience managing electrical projects in M&E or BMS
Familiarity with commercial and industrial installations
Knowledge of current IEE regulations and health & safety standards
The ability to manage project teams and communicate clearly
Strong organisation skills and the ability to keep multiple plates spinning
A full driving licence
Any formal qualifications in electrical or building services engineering will help, but what matters most is your ability to make things happen and keep projects running smoothly.
Benefits
A competitive salary between £55,000 and £65,000
A bonus & benefits package that adds real value
A role with variety, visibility, and room to grow
A place on a team where people enjoy what they do — and do it well
There’s plenty of work in the pipeline, support when you need it, and a clear path forward for someone who wants to keep developing their career without the politics.
