Technical Services Consultant

The role

Our client wants a mechanical engineer to give independent building services advice to building managers and asset management companies. This is a consultancy role, not an operational FM or new-build design role.

You will be the client's trusted mechanical expert. You will assess how buildings are maintained, find risks and improvements, and set out clear recommendations. Your written work is the product the client pays for, so reports, specifications and correspondence must be accurate, well structured and professionally presented.

The role suits a hard FM or technical services manager ready to move into consultancy. It also suits a mechanical design engineer who wants to move from new-build design into the operational side of buildings.

• Give technical mechanical services advice to building managers, asset owners and property management companies.
• Carry out site surveys and condition assessments of mechanical plant and systems, then report on findings and recommendations.
• Write high-quality technical documents, including summary and detailed reports, specifications, meeting minutes and client correspondence.
• Support clients with maintenance management, including auditing service providers' performance and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) regimes.
• Help procure maintenance contracts by preparing specifications, tender documents and bid evaluations.
• Advise on statutory and legislative compliance for mechanical services.
• Support design, plant replacement and project management work, from early review through to commissioning.
• Attend client and contractor meetings, and record actions and outcomes accurately.
