Mechanical project manager

Mechanical Project Manager ndash; Principal Contractor Working in the construction industry has never been easy and it gets worse when you have to work for a main contractor who is out to get you from day one. The easy solution to that is work for an M E Contractor who always act as the principal contractor, sure it means more work for you at the front end (total CDM and CPP creation) but to only report to the client and work on a timeline that you know is sound sounds like a fair trade off, right?
