This is an excellent opportunity for a Chartered Engineer to take on a senior leadership role within a growing and innovative consultancy. You'll lead and strengthen existing departments, building the capabilities needed to support future growth and long-term expansion.

Are you a Chartered Surveyor with deep experience in MEP/M&E and asset condition surveying, looking for a role where you can influence strategy, drive growth, and lead a high-performing team?

Established for over 30 years, this built environment consultancy has evolved from a specialist CAD provider to a multidisciplinary firm with five distinct departments, delivering services to major NHS trusts, FM providers, universities, housing organisations, cultural institutions, and heritage estates. With offices in Bournemouth and Manchester, they are renowned for their friendly culture, excellent retention, and forward-thinking approach to enhancing quality, consistency, and client satisfaction.

This role will involve leading and developing the MEP & M&E Asset Services team, overseeing asset surveys across the healthcare and wider sectors, and driving operational excellence. The position offers flexibility, including the option to work from home, weekly site visits, and occasional office visits.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, approachable organisation where self‑starters thrive, innovative ideas are valued, and you can play a key role in shaping a growing department.

The Role:

• Lead and develop the MEP & M&E Asset Services department
• Oversee the delivery of M&E asset condition surveys across varied buildings, from hospitals to heritage sites
• Guide and support a small but growing team of surveyors and contractors
• Work closely with Professional Services and other departments to deliver integrated solutions
• Champion technology‑led improvements, including AI‑driven standardisation and quality control

The Person:

• CIBSE Chartered Engineer with a relevant degree and experience in MEP and asset surveys.
• Strong technical knowledge of MEP systems, compliance, and CAD/BIM tools.
• Experienced in leading projects, managing teams, and handling budgets.
• Willing to travel across the UK, flexible working, and holds a clean driving license.
