About Us

We are an ambitious new residential development business, building our foundations in London with the aim of delivering high-quality, sustainable homes in urban locations. Backed by experienced leadership and long-term investors, we are now making a critical early hire to shape our technical and delivery capability from day one.

This is a rare opportunity to join a start-up at its inception — helping establish standards, partnerships, and strategy that will influence our success for years to come.

The Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and self-driven Senior Mechanical & Electrical (MEP) Manager to lead on all building services aspects of our future residential development projects — typically mid to high-rise buildings with 50–200+ apartments, primarily across Greater London.

This role requires a strategic thinker who can also operate hands-on and independently. You will play a central part in shaping the company’s approach to building services, energy performance, digital compliance, procurement strategy, consultant management and overall technical coordination.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape and define the company’s MEP and sustainability standards from the ground up
• Lead technical due diligence and serviceability reviews during site acquisition
• Advise on energy strategies, plant room sizing, overheating risk and compliance
• Prepare for upcoming regulatory changes including Future Homes Standard, Parts L, F, O & S
• Work with external consultants to ensure technical feasibility, innovation and cost-efficiency

Design & Delivery

• Oversee and coordinate all MEP design elements from RIBA Stage 0–6
• Review technical submissions for buildability, compliance and value for money
• Ensure accurate specification of GSHP, ASHP, PVs, DHN and related energy-saving technologies
• Monitor and review contractor M&E works during construction phase
• Ensure robust digitised record-keeping and golden thread compliance under the Building Safety Act
• Provide post-completion advice on building operation and services maintenance strategy
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, QS and project teams to optimise outcomes
• Build and manage relationships with external consultants, suppliers and statutory authorities (e.g. UKPN, Thames Water)
• Represent MEP interests at internal meetings and ensure consistent technical leadership

Required Experience & Qualifications

• Minimum HNC in Building Services Engineering or equivalent
• Substantial experience delivering London-based residential projects, including high-rise and mid-rise schemes with 50–200+ apartments
• Involvement across all project phases from concept to completion
• Familiarity with both shell & core and fit-out MEP interfaces
• Proven experience working for residential developers, Tier 1/2 contractors, or leading MEP consultants
• Knowledge of UK Building Regulations, especially relating to energy, sustainability and safety
• Strong understanding of low-carbon technologies, energy modelling and overheating solutions
• Commercially astute with strong cost awareness and procurement knowledge
• Excellent communication, project management and coordination skills
• Proficient with relevant digital tools and software (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, MS Office)
• Ability to operate independently, adapt quickly, and thrive in a start-up environment
• Chartered Engineer status (CIBSE or IET)
• Experience in leading digitisation and BIM workflows
• Exposure to mixed-use and commercial MEP requirements

Why Join Us?

• Founding team influence — help shape our systems, culture and standards
• Exciting growth trajectory — lay the groundwork for London’s next high-quality developer
• Sustainable focus — deliver homes aligned with tomorrow’s environmental goals
