Overview

My client is seeking an Assistant Technical Services Manager to support the delivery of complex mechanical and electrical (M&E) packages across major construction projects in London. This role is designed for individuals currently working within construction or fit-out who are looking to move into Technical Services, but may not yet have direct experience in this function.

The successful candidate will work directly alongside a Senior Technical Services Manager, receiving structured mentoring and hands-on exposure to technically challenging, high-profile schemes. This is a practical, project-focused role with a clear development pathway into a Technical Services Manager position.

Project Exposure

You will assist in the technical delivery of major M&E packages on projects including:

Laboratory fit-out projects within leading London hospitals

Large commercial developments

Landmark buildings across the London skyline

This role offers genuine involvement in live projects, rather than a purely administrative or desk-based position.

Key Responsibilities

Assist the Senior Technical Services Manager with day-to-day technical delivery

Support M&E design coordination across mechanical and electrical disciplines

Assist with the management of technical submittals, RFIs and design queries

Coordinate drawings, specifications and design changes

Liaise with consultants, specialist subcontractors and internal site teams

Support the interface between design, commercial and construction teams

Develop an understanding of full technical services delivery from design through to construction

Full training and mentoring will be provided, with responsibility increasing as experience and confidence develop.

Candidate Requirements

Previous Technical Services experience is not required. Applicants must, however, have some experience working for a main contractor within construction or fit-out.

Suitable backgrounds may include:

Project Engineer or Graduate Engineer

Site Engineer or Site Supervisor seeking an office-based technical role

Mechanical or Electrical trade background with ambitions to progress into management

Educational background in Building Services, Engineering or Construction (advantageous but not essential)

Key personal attributes include strong organisation skills, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn.

What’s on Offer

Direct mentorship from an experienced Senior Technical Services Manager

Exposure to complex healthcare and landmark commercial projects

Clear progression route to Technical Services Manager

Long-term career development within M&E delivery
