We’re looking for an experienced HVAC Package Supervisor / Manager to take full ownership of the ductwork package on a live construction project in Hull.

• Piping / process services
• Ceilings, walls and architectural trades
• Proactively manage clashes, access constraints and sequencing
• Review and close out RFIs, snags, NCRs and quality observations
• Track progress against programme and implement recovery actions where required
• Ensure RAMS, permits, ITPs and inspections are in place and adhered to
• Support commissioning, O&M manuals and as-built documentation
• Proven experience managing HVAC ductwork packages on complex projects (data centres, pharma, industrial, healthcare or commercial)
• Strong technical knowledge of:
• Supply, extract and process duct systems
• Dampers, fire stopping and penetrations
• Coordination in congested services environments
• Demonstrated ability to drive subcontractor performance
• Comfortable in fast-track, multi-trade construction environments
• Strong site presence with a hands-on approach
• Able to read and interpret drawings and BIM models
• Excellent communication and coordination skills

🎓 Qualifications (Preferred)

• Trade background or HVAC / Building Services engineering qualification
• SMSTS or SSSTS
• Someone who takes full ownership of their package
• Confident challenging subcontractors and holding them to plan
• Strong focus on quality, safety and delivery
• Proactive, organised and solutions-driven
