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.

• 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.
