Small Works Supervisor

Location: Cheshire West and Chester

We are seeking an ambitious Small Works Supervisor to take full ownership of minor capital projects, building fabric alterations, asset lifecycle upgrades, and mechanical/electrical variations across a highly regulated, safety-critical estate.

This role serves as the crucial bridge between operational maintenance supervision and full-scale project management. Moving away from daily hands-on tool-time, you will lead an established on-site technical team, manage specialist sub-contractors, and act as the primary technical interface for corporate client stakeholders.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

* Project Delivery & Execution:
Scope, plan, budget, and deliver small works, office fit-outs, asset renewals, and minor building variations across mechanical, electrical, and fabric disciplines from initial survey to final handover.

* Team Leadership & Mentorship:
Line-manage and direct a dedicated on-site engineering team (Electrical, Mechanical, Fabric); coordinate daily task allocations, oversee quality control, and mentor junior technicians.

* Sub-Contractor Governance:
Onboard, schedule, and manage external specialist contractors; verify RAMS, issue Permits to Work (PTW), monitor site performance, and ensure commercial delivery aligns with contract specs.

* Client & Stakeholder Management:
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client representatives, running regular progress meetings, producing clear reporting dashboards, and managing expectations in a live, operational environment.

* Commercial & Procurement Support:
Assist with raising purchase orders, conducting job estimates/costings, tracking project spend against budgets, and managing variations.

REQUIREMENTS & PERSON SPECIFICATION

* Experience:

Proven track record coordinating small works, minor projects, or lifecycle tasks within Hard FM, building services, or construction fit-outs.

* Technical Foundation:
Solid understanding of building services (mechanical, electrical, or structural fabric maintenance).

* Health & Safety:
Robust knowledge of permit-to-work systems, RAMS verification, and statutory safety protocols. IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH General Certificate is highly desirable.

* Leadership & Communication:
Natural leadership skills with the confidence to direct multi-trade site teams and present progress clearly to corporate client stakeholders.
