Technical Services Manager

Overview

We’re recruiting for a Technical Services Manager to join a prominent, fast-paced and high-footfall environment in the East Midlands. This is not a “keep the lights on” role—this is a position with real influence. You’ll sit within the senior leadership team, taking ownership of technical operations while playing a key role in shaping the future of the site. With major investment underway and a refreshed, energised team already making an impact, this is an opportunity to be part of meaningful change. You’ll lead all aspects of technical services across a large, complex environment, ensuring compliance, operational excellence, and delivery of both strategic and day-to-day priorities.

• Health & Safety and statutory compliance across the site
• Contractor management and performance oversight
• Leading technical operations across a large-scale environment
• Ownership and management of service charge budgets
• Responsibility for CAPEX and OPEX planning and control
• Delivering major and minor projects & fit outs

We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical expertise with commercial awareness and leadership capability. You’ll ideally have:

• A recognised technical qualification (electrical, mechanical, or building services)
• Proven experience in a large, fast-paced environment
• Strong contractor and project management experience
• Confidence managing budgets (service charge, CAPEX & OPEX)
• Excellent communication and tenant-facing skills
• A proactive, hands-on approach, someone who can step in when needed
• A collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence at senior level
• Senior-level role with real autonomy and influence
• Major project exposure and investment pipeline
• Strong team culture with positive momentum
• Competitive salary and bonus structure

Are you hands-on and ready to step into a role where you can truly make an impact?

If you’re a technically strong, commercially aware leader who thrives in a busy environment and wants to be part of shaping something bigger - this could be the opportunity for you. Please send your CV to sally.ridgway@foundationrecruitment.com
