Senior Technical Services Manager

£90K- £100K / Year
J29553

Permanent

For a contractor who loves D&B, cut & carve, and high end fit‑outs

The role:

• This isn’t a team management scenario. No supervising juniors. No babysitting. It is an autonomous, senior role where you report directly to the Directors and are trusted - genuinely - to get on with it.
• Responsible for 2 or 3 schemes at a time (£5m - c£20m)
• Design & Build | Cut & carve refurbs | New builds with basements | CAT A/B fit‑Outs, all the usual technical carnage
• JCT with CDP - the TSM obstacle course.
• You will be the technical spine of the project, dipping into pre‑con, design, delivery, commissioning, and all the moments where someone whispers, "We should probably ask the TSM…"

Your day might involve:

• Re‑routing ductwork that was drawn by someone who has never seen a ceiling void
• Explaining (again) why the riser can’t go there
• Turning MEP mayhem into coordinated calm
• Saving the programme by pointing out a catastrophic clash others thought was fine
• Keeping subbies honest on cost and scope (your sixth sense for silly prices is unmatched)
• Being the project’s technical adult - because someone has to be

Who you are:

• A seasoned TSM with real D&B battle scars
• Contract‑aware, commercially switched‑on, and allergic to BS
• You want a role that is long‑term, not a countdown to a campervan tour
• Calm, solutions‑focused, and able to stop a design meeting from going off the rails
• You laugh when you cry - the true mark of a Technical Services professional

What you get:

• A more than decent salary, with a package that includes proper grown‑up benefits (25 days annual leave, travel paid, private pension contribution and healthcare)
• A company where people stay 10-15 years
• Directors who actually listen to technical people (wild, I know)
• Freedom, autonomy, and trust - no micro‑management, no nonsense

This role could also be referred to at other businesses as Technical Services Manager, Senior Technical Services Manager, Technical Delivery Manager, MEP Lead, or Design & Build Technical Manager.
