This is a chance to play a pivotal role in the operational delivery of one of the UK's largest multi-site BMS service portfolios, supporting a nationally significant estate of more than 800 sites stretching from Newcastle to Cornwall Working remotely and travelling when required, you'll collaborate with customers, regional delivery teams, remote monitoring specialists and subcontractors across the UK, helping to ensure a consistent, high-quality service across a large and complex estate. You'll become the link between the customer, regional engineering teams, remote monitoring specialists and subcontractors, building trusted relationships that keep service delivery moving forward. Your ability to communicate clearly, coordinate multiple stakeholders and build confidence with customers will be every bit as important as your technical understanding. This is a people-focused operational role within the Building Controls sector, rather than a hands-on engineering position. Why this move could be better Many facilities, maintenance and engineering management roles are focused on a single region, contract or portfolio. This opportunity gives you exposure to one of the UK's largest multi-site BMS service contracts, supporting hundreds of sites and working alongside teams throughout the country. You'll gain experience helping to deliver a nationally significant estate while building relationships with stakeholders at every level, from site representatives through to senior customer contacts.

The successful person is far more likely to be recognised for their communication skills, customer focus and ability to coordinate complex service delivery environments than for deep technical knowledge. The challenge Supporting a portfolio of this scale means balancing the needs of hundreds of sites, multiple regional teams and a wide range of customer stakeholders. The people who thrive in this environment enjoy bringing structure to complexity, building productive working relationships and finding practical solutions when priorities change. It's a role that rewards organisation, communication and the ability to influence outcomes across a nationally distributed team. Your development Few roles offer exposure to a BMS estate of this size. You'll gain experience supporting a nationally significant portfolio, working alongside engineering, monitoring, commercial and operational teams across the UK. For somebody currently operating within a regional contract, local authority, FM provider or maintenance organisation, this represents an opportunity to broaden both your operational influence and industry profile within the growing Building Controls sector.
