• Replacement of radiators and AHU coils/fans/motors to allow operation at lower flow temperatures
• Replacement of 12no. AHUs
• Replacement of TRVs with flow limiting pressure independent TRVs to permit lower return temperatures and flow rates during heating operation
• Replacement of heating distribution pipework and installation of differential pressure control valves.

To manage the above project, you will be expected to:

• Manage a ranch of works packages, with multiple live contracts at different stages of design/construction/commissioning.

• Overall contract management to ensure the work is being delivered in line with the contractual scope/appointments.
• Manage the projects during delivery. This will involve ensuring the contracted scope is delivered within the agreed budget and timescales. You will be expected to own and manage the project risk registers and use these as your primary communication tool to internal and external stakeholders on project risks, delays, changes and opportunities.
• Ensure the projects have sufficient resources allocated to them, and that the resources have suitable experience, competence and training to deliver the scope of works under the contract. This will involve the production and management of project programs/Gantt charts/coordinated resource plans.
