Mechanical Contracts Manager
Mechanical Contracts Manager jobs in the North‑West
Permanent Mechanical Contracts Manager roles with M&E building services contractors across the North‑West.
ravensearch is a specialist M&E recruitment agency working only on permanent roles in mechanical and electrical building services. We are based in Wigan and the contractors we work with are spread across the region, from Liverpool and Warrington through Manchester and out to Leeds.
The step up from project manager to contracts manager is the point where you stop running one job well and start being accountable for several at once, including ones that are going badly. Contractors are careful about who they give it to, which is why the roles are worth having.
What the work involves
The projects behind these roles
Commercial, industrial, healthcare, education and retail, delivered regionally or in some cases nationwide from a North‑West base. Portfolio values vary enormously between contractors, from packages in the tens of thousands up to multi‑million pound contracts.
Permanent Mechanical Contracts Manager roles we have handled recently have paid between £60,000 and £70,000, with a car or allowance and package on top.
What sits behind the number is usually the size of the portfolio and whether you carry the margin for it. Two roles with the same title can be quite different jobs, so ask.
Every role here is permanent. We do not handle freelance or contract work, so nothing on this page is a day rate.

M&E jobs in Blackburn
Blackburn and the wider East Lancashire market produce a steady trickle of permanent M&E roles rather than a constant stream.
The area has a genuine manufacturing and industrial base, and the building services contractors here tend to work across an unusually wide sector spread, from healthcare through to aerospace and emergency services. For a project or contracts manager that variety is often the appeal.
We will not pretend the volume matches Warrington or Manchester. What we can do is tell you honestly what is live in East Lancashire at any point, and flag the North‑West roles within reach of the M65 if nothing closer fits.
