Building Services Manager

Own projects from start to finish and see your work come to life in a new office space. With hybrid working (two days in the office, three from home) and a generous annual bonus, you’ll enjoy greater flexibility and be rewarded for your contribution. As a Design Manager, you’ll lead mechanical and electrical services on building refurbishments - shaping solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper. You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of sectors and work directly with end-user clients, giving you valuable insight into how design decisions affect building performance and user satisfaction. Step away from pure concept design and into a role where you’ll deliver practical, buildable solutions. You’ll collaborate daily with architects, interior designers, project managers and quantity surveyors, broadening your understanding of the full project lifecycle. And with two Directors set to retire in the next few years, you’ll have a clear path to senior leadership—if that’s where you want to go.

Lead both pre- and post-contract stages, including tender reviews, technical input, value engineering and risk analysis. Manage programme constraints and phasing, ensuring your designs fit seamlessly into live environments and phased construction.
