The opportunity we have is for Building Services Manager (M&E Manager) to play a key role in delivering high-quality MEP solutions across major construction projects in the North West region.

This is an opportunity to be part of a business driven by quality, customer focus, and a commitment to making a positive impact.

What you’ll do:

Coordinate and integrate mechanical, electrical & public health (MEP) systems in major projects.
Oversee M&E supply chain partners to deliver works on time, to budget, and to the highest standards.
Review designs, drawings, technical submissions, and carry out value engineering.
Monitor compliance with H&S, CDM, and technical requirements.
Provide on-site support, resolve technical issues, and attend coordination meetings.
Lead and support commissioning, handover, and close-out of building services packages.
Based in the office with daily travel to sites across the North West.
Replacement role due to retirement of the current lead; the business is seeking a mid-level BSM rather than a senior hire.
Oversee installation, commissioning, delivery, O&M documentation, customer demonstrations and handover. (Preconstruction and work winning sit under a separate team – this role is purely operations.)
Work across multiple projects, maintaining strong relationships with site teams, consultants, and supply chain.
Feed lessons learnt and performance feedback into preconstruction teams.

What we’re looking for:

Experience on a variety of M&E projects across different sectors.
Minimum relevant level 4 qualification (HNC / NVQ4 etc).

What’s on offer:

Competitive package including enhanced pension, medical cover, life assurance, and bonus scheme.
Flexible and inclusive working arrangements.
An environment where people are supported to thrive, with opportunities for career development.
