The role
You’ll sit within the senior project team and take ownership of all building services elements across the lifecycle of projects. That means being involved early during tender and pre‑construction, right through design development, delivery on site, commissioning, and final handover. A big part of the job is spotting issues before they become problems. You’ll be working closely with project managers, consultants, and subcontractors to keep everything aligned technically, commercially, and programmatically.
What you’ll be doing
- Supporting bid and pre‑construction teams with M&E strategy, subcontractor selection, and technical input
- Reviewing designs to make sure they’re buildable, coordinated, and aligned with programme requirements
- Leading on services coordination, ensuring everything fits and functions as it should
- Managing risk across M&E packages identifying clashes, delays, or compliance issues early
- Working closely with subcontractors to monitor progress, quality, and delivery
- Driving commissioning activities and making sure systems are tested, proven, and performing correctly
- Overseeing handover, including O&M manuals, as‑built documents, and client readiness
What they’re looking for
- A background in building services (mechanical bias preferred, with a solid understanding of electrical)
- Experience working for a main contractor or in a design & build environment
- Strong project delivery experience across large‑scale construction projects
- Confidence to challenge, influence, and guide both internal teams and external partners
- A proactive mindset, someone who can see what’s coming and act early
Why this role stands out
You’ll be given real responsibility and a genuine voice within the team. This is a contractor that values its building services function and brings it into key decisions, not just coordination after the fact. It’s a good fit for someone who enjoys being close to the detail but also wants to influence the bigger picture.
