• Deep expertise in interior fit-out disciplines;
  
  
  




• A client-first culture grounded in health & safety, flexibility, swift responsiveness, and uncompromising quality & compliance.
  
  
  




• Providing workplace consultancy, space planning, cost control, design, furniture, on-site management—and even List-X fit-outs—for corporate high-tech environments.
  
  
  

Role Overview As Technical Services Manager, you're the pivotal link between design preconstruction and on-site execution—bridging technical integrity with practical delivery in the evolving world of fit out in high tech environments. You’ll safeguard consistency, regulatory alignment, and cost-effective excellence across projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technical oversight across all project phases—from tender and design through procurement and fit-out—ensuring solutions are compliant, constructible, and aligned with client expectations.
  
  
  




• Manage the technical review of architectural, M&E, infrastructure, and designs, verifying feasibility, clarity, and constructability.
  
  
  




• Champion health, safety, compliance, and technical standards, embedding company reputation for quality-first delivery into every project.
  
  
  




• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to on-site teams, subcontractors, and cross-functional stakeholders.
  
  
  




• Collaborate with project managers, design leads, and commercial teams to resolve technical challenges, mitigate risk, and streamline delivery.
  
  
  




• Implement value engineering methods that enhance constructability and efficiency without compromising design integrity.
  
  
  




• Ensure technical consistency across project documentation, RFIs, change orders, and variation control.
  
  
  




• Support post-project reviews, capturing insights to continuously elevate technical standards.
  
  
  




• Stay attuned to emerging materials, technologies, and sustainable methodologies, proposing innovations that align with sector trends and client needs.
  
  
  

Essential Skills & Qualifications

• Extensive experience (typically 5+ years, ideally 7+) in technical management or coordination—especially in interiors fit-out, high tech environments, or complex office schemes.
  
  
  




• Strong technical acumen in M&E installation in collaboration with the fit out subcontractors.
  
  
  




• Proficiency in interpreting and coordinating across architectural, engineering, and contractor deliverables.
  
  
  




• Proven track record of delivering to tight safety, quality, and cost standards—with high client satisfaction.
  
  
  




• Excellent interpersonal skills: a collaborative communicator with the ability to guide, influence, and support diverse teams.
  
  
  




• Sharp eye for production detail, constructability, and risk that delivers predictable, high-quality outcomes.
  
  
  

Desirable Attributes

• Qualifications such as BEng, BSc, or HNC/HND in a construction-related discipline—or CSCS or relevant technical accreditation.
  
  
  




• Familiarity with laboratory compliance standards (e.g., List‑X, cleanroom provisions) or bioscience facility requirements
  
  
  




• Knowledge of digital collaboration platforms or document control systems used in modern interior delivery.
  
  
  

What is in it for you?

• Help shape environments at the intersection of science, workplace design, and performance—in a sector experiencing dynamic growth.
  
  
  




• Join a high-trust, repeat-client business recognized for quality, responsiveness, and flexibility.
  
  
  




• Be part of a growing international platform committed to pushing technical and sustainable standards forward.
