Building Services Manager

I'm currently partnering with a leading international construction and engineering contractor to appoint an experienced Building Services Manager for major projects across London and the surrounding areas. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business delivering some of the UK and Europe's most high-profile and technically complex schemes.

My client is a well-established main contractor with a strong footprint across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. They specialise in delivering large-scale, high-quality projects through a combination of engineering expertise, modern construction techniques, and digital innovation.

They operate across a diverse range of sectors, including:

• Commercial & Office Developments - large-scale, high-spec city centre schemes
• Residential - high-rise, mixed-use, and build-to-rent developments
• Healthcare & Life Sciences - hospitals, laboratories, and highly serviced technical environments
• Data Centres & Technology - mission-critical facilities requiring complex MEP integration
• Pharmaceutical & Industrial - advanced manufacturing and regulated environments
• Retail & Mixed-Use - integrated developments combining multiple asset classes
• Infrastructure & Transport - supporting major public and private sector investment

This breadth of work offers excellent exposure to technically challenging projects, particularly those with complex building services requirements.

The business is also recognised for its strong commitment to sustainability, innovation, and health & safety, consistently delivering projects to the highest standards.

As Building Services Manager, you will take ownership of all MEP elements across the full project lifecycle — from design coordination through to commissioning and handover.

You'll play a critical role in ensuring building services are delivered efficiently, safely, and fully integrated into the wider construction programme.

• Drive programme delivery and proactively manage risk
• Lead MEP subcontractors and specialist packages

• Experience working across sectors such as commercial, healthcare, or data centres is highly desirable
• Excellent technical knowledge and coordination skills
• Strong communication and stakeholder management ability

• Exposure to high-profile, technically complex projects
• Strong and secure pipeline of work across London and the South East
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Clear career progression within a leading contractor
