• Drive quality assurance and compliance with regulations and client requirements
• Support procurement, contractor engagement, and contract administration
• Provide technical leadership and ensure integration across disciplines
• Monitor project progress, resolve issues, and mitigate risks proactively

About You

• Degree qualified in Mechanical, Electrical or Building Services Engineering (or equivalent)
• Proven experience in project or design management within M&E / building services - ideally in consultancy-led environments
• Strong understanding of design and delivery processes within building services
• Excellent leadership, planning, communication and client management skills
• Able to manage multiple stakeholders and technical teams effectively
• Chartered or working towards Chartered status (desirable)
• Driving licence advantageous

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Competitive bonus and pension package
• Private healthcare
• A collaborative, supportive and people-focused culture
• Exposure to a diverse project portfolio with opportunity for strategic impact

Why This Role?
