This well established mechanical contractor has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality building services installations across large scale residential developments, multi unit housing schemes and complex commercial projects. With a growing portfolio across Greater Dublin and beyond, the company is known for technical excellence, structured project delivery and long term client relationships. Operating from a modern HQ in Newry, the business continues to expand its preconstruction and project delivery teams to support an increasing pipeline of residential and mixed use developments. Their focus on quality, coordination and early stage planning ensures projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard.

The Role - Mechanical Services Coordinator

As Mechanical Services Coordinator, you will operate as a technical lead across multiple projects from early design and preconstruction through to handover. Based primarily in Newry with regular travel to Greater Dublin sites, you will act as the key interface between internal construction teams, main contractors, consultants and clients.

This is a building services coordination role focused heavily on preconstruction, design management and mechanical systems integration rather than purely site based delivery. You will drive coordination meetings, resolve technical issues before they reach site and ensure mechanical packages are fully aligned with programme, budget and quality expectations.

• Lead mechanical services coordination from preconstruction stage through to project handover
• Chair and manage design and preconstruction coordination meetings with consultants and main contractors
• Act as the principal technical liaison between design teams, site teams and external stakeholders
• Oversee mechanical design reviews ensuring buildability, compliance and integration with architectural and structural elements
• Monitor programme milestones and ensure mechanical services align with overall construction sequencing
• Identify and resolve coordination issues early to protect programme and quality
• Support digital job setup and pre site readiness using Procore and other construction management platforms
• Contribute to standardisation of workflows, documentation and preconstruction processes
• Report regularly to senior management on technical progress, risks and key milestones
• Mentor junior mechanical coordinators and support team development across live projects
