About Aura
Aura Technical Services is a specialist MEP management consultancy supporting Tier 1 main contractors across complex construction, refurbishment, and infrastructure projects.
We’re a growing business, but more importantly, we’re a focused one.
We deliberately work on:
• Long-term, complex programmes (3–5 years)
• High-profile, technically challenging projects
• Schemes where MEP really matters
AuraAI – Our Edge
We are not just another consultancy.
We are actively building AuraAI, an AI-powered MEP management platform designed by engineers, for engineers.
This isn’t theory or a future idea, it’s being developed right now and will be used on live projects.
AuraAI is designed to:
• Interrogate drawings, specs, and technical documents instantly
• Support real-time problem solving on site
• Automate reporting, compliance tracking, and technical reviews
• Capture project intelligence that normally gets lost
• Give our team a technical and commercial edge on every project
As part of Aura, you won’t just use these tools, you’ll help shape how they’re applied in real-world construction.
What makes this role different
You won’t be stuck on one small package.
You’ll be involved in:
• Major government and infrastructure programmes
• High-security environments
• Complex refurbishments in live buildings
• Projects that genuinely challenge your technical ability
And uniquely:
• You’ll work with AI-assisted MEP delivery tools before the rest of the industry catches up
• You’ll help define how modern Technical Services Management evolves
The role
As a Technical Services Manager, you will:
• Lead MEP coordination and delivery on site
• Review and challenge design during pre-construction and delivery
• Manage subcontractors and drive technical compliance
• Oversee commissioning, testing, and handover
• Use emerging tools (including AuraAI) to improve delivery and reporting
• Identify and solve problems early, not react to them late
• Represent Aura with professionalism and technical authority
What we’re looking for
We’re not looking for CVs, we’re looking for capability.
You’ll likely have:
• Strong experience as a TSM or Senior Engineer within MEP construction
• The confidence to challenge; design and contractors, where needed
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset
• The ability to operate independently on site
• An interest in improving how things are done, not just repeating old processes
Who this is NOT for
This role won’t suit you if you:
• Need constant direction or supervision
• Avoid difficult conversations or decisions
• Prefer ticking boxes over solving real problems
• Are resistant to change or new ways of working
What you’ll get
• Exposure to high-profile, technically demanding projects
• Real responsibility and trust from day one
• A supportive, no-ego team environment
• The chance to work with and influence AI-driven MEP delivery (AuraAI)
• A genuine opportunity to stay ahead of the industry, not catch up with it
• Competitive package based on experience
Why join Aura now?
We’ve turned a corner.
We’re growing, but doing it properly:
• Better projects
• Better people
• Better systems
• Smarter delivery
And we’re building something that goes beyond consultancy.
This is a chance to be part of that early, not watch it happen from the outside.
