Job description

A Role Where Your Ideas Win Business and Shape Real Outcomes

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a role where your expertise directly drives growth, innovation, and success.

As a Solutions Manager, you will be at the forefront of how we win and deliver work. You’ll take complex client requirements and turn them into smart, commercially strong, and deliverable solutions that genuinely stand out. This is a role where your input is visible, valued, and makes a real difference to the business.

If you enjoy thinking strategically, solving problems, and seeing your ideas brought to life, this role offers the perfect platform.

The Opportunity

This is more than just a technical role, it’s an opportunity to play a key part in shaping the future of the business.

If you’re looking for a position where you can influence outcomes, work on meaningful opportunities, and see the direct impact of your work, this is your chance to make a real difference.

Location: Slough ( with travel to visit clients)

Salary: on experience

Hours: 40 hours a week

Company Benefits

• Company Car
• Company Events
• Wellbeing Benefits – 24 hours turnaround GP appointment for the whole family
• 25 days holiday (not including bank holidays)
• Cycle to Work Scheme

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing innovative and competitive technical solutions for new business opportunities and contract renewals
• Acting as a key contributor in the bid process, helping to shape winning proposals
• Carrying out site visits and assessments to fully understand client needs
• Developing maintenance strategies and service delivery models that are both practical and forward-thinking
• Working closely with commercial, operational, and supply chain teams to build well‑rounded solutions
• Supporting client presentations and helping to articulate the value of our approach
• Ensuring a smooth transition from design to mobilisation and delivery
• Identifying ways to improve efficiency, add value, and strengthen our offering

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a highly influential position within the business. You won’t be working in isolation, you’ll be collaborating across teams and playing a central role in shaping how we grow and succeed.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Influence major contract wins
• Bring fresh ideas and innovation to the table
• Work on diverse and complex projects
• Build strong relationships across the business and with clients

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines technical knowledge with commercial awareness and a proactive mindset.

You will bring:

• A background in building services, engineering, or a related field
• Experience in developing solutions, bids, or proposals
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• The ability to communicate ideas clearly and confidently
• A collaborative approach and the drive to deliver results
