We are working with a Tier 1 contractor based near Reading to recruit a new Building Services/Technical Manager for the business.
The company is a national brand with an excellent reputation in their chosen marketplace and have long-term relationships with clients, subcontractors, and the wider supply chain. They have a forward-thinking approach to staff engagement and offer opportunities to grow and develop your career.
The regional office is based near Slough, covering the M4 Corridor, Thames Valley, and Oxfordshire. They target work in the education, public sector, retail, leisure, and commercial marketplaces on negotiated and framework opportunities. Turnover for 2025 and 2026 has been secured.
Current live projects include new build Higher Education, Primary Schools, Leisure and Retail developments, local authority schemes, and NHS projects, all won on a 2-stage process through a range of frameworks such as SCF, Pagabo, and DFE, with values ranging from 20 to 90 million.
The role involves taking full responsibility for the services packages across a range of projects. You will collaborate with the bid and estimating teams at the preconstruction stage to assess feasibility, programme timelines, and buildability of the schemes. You will work with the design and commercial teams and subcontractors to establish best practices, pricing, and procedures for the schemes, as your input is essential for the successful delivery of the wider project.
Upon contract award, you will work with the wider site delivery team to oversee the services packages on-site and help manage subcontractors through the installation process, addressing all related technical queries up to commissioning and handover. This is a real opportunity to work cradle to grave on schemes and see your ideas and plans come to life on site.
They offer flexibility in how and where you choose to work, operating a hybrid model where you can work in the office, hotdesk at the nearest project, work on live sites, or work from home if needed. They take a pragmatic approach to work, aiming to find the best way for you to achieve your goals alongside a work/life balance.
The role would ideally suit someone from either a main contractor or specialist subcontractor background with experience in both mechanical and electrical services. Experience in preconstruction and delivery would be an advantage. A degree is preferred, but they are also keen to consider individuals who have worked their way up from the tools.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business that values your opinion and listens to your expertise. In return, they offer you the chance to develop your career in whatever direction you choose, so get in touch for a more detailed conversation.
Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
