   • Help shape and grow the service and maintenance side of the business.
   • Sell and promote engineering services and maintenance contracts across the UK.
   • Develop a UK services business plan – a key part of your first 90 days.
   • No targets or commission (yet) – this is about building relationships and structure.

Why This Role?

This isn’t a “plug‑and‑play” management job. You’ll be part of shaping something new – building a services division, leading a team, and working closely with a hands‑on MD. It needs someone with credibility on site, but also ideas and initiative in the office. You’ll get support and backing – but they need someone who can take the lead, build trust, and get things moving.
