Technical Services Manager / Building Services Manager M&E Role

Location: London, with occasional travel to Coventry

Salary: Up to £95,000 + package

The Role

My client is looking to appoint a Technical Services Manager or Building Services Manager to join their growing team.

This is a newly developing area of the business. Over the last two and a half years, the company has been operating on the more traditional side while borrowing building services resource from another part of the business. Due to a strong pipeline of work, they are now looking to build an independent services team and bring in a dedicated TSM or BSM to support upcoming projects.

This role would suit either an established Technical Services Manager / Building Services Manager or someone operating at Assistant level who is ready to step up. The business is open to meeting a range of candidates, provided they have the right attitude, technical understanding and ability to work closely with project teams.

Projects

The company has a number of exciting projects coming through, including:

• RAC Club, Pall Mall

• Embassy projects including Brazil and Poland

• Education schemes including schools and colleges

• Readham School, Woldingham

• Coventry based projects, requiring travel once or twice per week

The work is not heavily commercial fit out focused. The project portfolio is varied, with a strong focus on high profile, technically interesting schemes including embassies, private members clubs, schools and colleges.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and coordinate the building services elements of projects from pre-construction through to completion

• Work closely with project teams, design teams, subcontractors and consultants

• Review drawings, technical submissions and design information

• Support with programme, procurement and delivery of M&E packages

• Ensure services are delivered in line with project requirements, quality standards and client expectations

• Identify and resolve technical issues throughout the project lifecycle

• Attend site meetings and maintain strong communication with internal and external stakeholders

• Support the wider business as the company continues to build out its dedicated building services function

Candidate Requirements

• Experience as a Technical Services Manager, Building Services Manager or Assistant TSM / BSM

• Strong understanding of mechanical and electrical building services

• Experience working on fit out, refurbishment, education, heritage, embassy, private members club or similar projects would be beneficial

• Able to manage technical information and coordinate with multiple stakeholders

• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach

• Comfortable working across multiple projects when required

• Willing to travel to Coventry once or twice per week when needed

• Ambitious, flexible and keen to be part of a growing team

The Opportunity

This is a great opportunity to join a growing contractor at an important stage of development. Rather than relying on shared resource from other areas of the business, the company are investing in building their own independent building services team.

The successful candidate will have the chance to play a key role in shaping the services function, working on a varied project portfolio and supporting a business with a strong pipeline of work coming through.
