Building Services Manager

West Midlands | Tier One Main Contractor | Up to -85,000 + Excellent Package

An exciting opportunity to join a growing Tier One main contractor and play a key role in the delivery of some fantastic construction projects across the Midlands.

We are currently working with an established main contractor who is now seeking an experienced Building Services Manager to join the Midlands team.-

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business with ambitious growth plans, a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming projects, and a reputation for delivering high quality, complex developments across a diverse range of sectors.

Initially, you will be involved with a significant project in the West Midlands, taking responsibility for the building services element of the scheme and working closely with the wider construction and project delivery teams.

The business is keen to speak with established Building Services Managers looking for a new challenge, as well as ambitious individuals currently working for a larger M&E contractor who feel ready to make the move into a main contractor environment and take the next step in their career.

The Role

As Building Services Manager, you will take ownership of the mechanical and electrical packages throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring building services installations are coordinated, managed and delivered to the highest standards.

Working alongside the Project Director, Construction Managers, Design Teams and specialist M&E subcontractors, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of all building services elements.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and overseeing all mechanical and electrical building services packages from pre-construction through to commissioning and handover.
• Taking responsibility for the coordination, installation and delivery of all M&E services on site.
• Managing specialist subcontractors, consultants and supply chain partners, ensuring quality, programme and commercial targets are achieved.
• Working closely with design teams to review drawings, identify potential issues and ensure effective coordination of building services.
• Monitoring project progress, identifying risks and implementing solutions to keep works on programme.
• Ensuring all installations comply with current regulations, specifications and quality standards.
• Attending design, progress and coordination meetings, providing technical guidance and reporting on building services performance.
• Working collaboratively with the wider construction team to ensure the successful integration of building services into the overall build programme.
• Overseeing testing, commissioning and final handover documentation.

We are keen to speak with individuals who have a strong background within building services management and understand the demands of delivering complex M&E packages within a main contractor environment.

Ideally, you will have experience across a variety of sectors, including:

• Multi-use and mixed-use developments.
• High-rise residential developments.
• Commercial offices and large commercial schemes.
• Healthcare developments.
• Industrial and manufacturing projects.

You could currently be working as a Building Services Manager for a main contractor, or perhaps be an experienced M&E Project Manager / Senior Project Manager working for a larger Tier One M&E contractor who is ready to step into a broader Building Services Management position.

The Opportunity

This is more than just another project appointment. The successful individual will be joining a business with genuine ambitions for continued growth across the Midlands, offering the opportunity to become part of an expanding regional team and establish themselves within the business for the long term.

The contractor has an impressive track record, a diverse project portfolio and a collaborative approach to construction. With an accessible senior management structure, a strong emphasis on teamwork and a commitment to developing its people, this is an excellent environment for someone looking to build a long-term career.

There is also the opportunity to gain exposure to a varied portfolio of high profile developments rather than being restricted to one particular sector.

• Salary up to -85,000, depending on experience.
• Company car or car allowance.
• Company pension scheme.
• Private healthcare.
• Annual bonus linked to company performance and profitability.
