The Opportunity

A leading Tier 1 Main Contractor is looking to appoint a Building Services Manager to support the delivery of projects across the South West region. With a regional base in Bristol, this role will suit someone experienced in managing building services from a main contractor perspective, coordinating specialist M&E subcontractors rather than self-delivering works.

  • Ensure M&E packages are delivered in line with programme, quality, and commercial targets

  • Attend and lead design team meetings, technical workshops, and coordination sessions

  • Review subcontractor proposals, programmes, and method statements

  • Monitor installation progress, commissioning, and handover activities

  • Ensure compliance with health & safety, statutory regulations, and company standards

  • Work collaboratively with project, commercial, and site teams



About You

  • Proven experience as a Building Services Manager, M&E Manager, or similar role for a main contractor

  • Strong understanding of managing M&E through specialist subcontractors (non self-delivery environment)

  • Solid technical knowledge of both mechanical and electrical building services

  • Experience across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, or mixed-use projects (desirable)

  • Confident communicator with the ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders

  • Well organised, proactive, and commercially aware



Qualifications (Preferred)

  • HNC / HND / Degree in Building Services, Engineering, or related discipline

  • CSCS card (SMSTS desirable)



What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary of 50,000 - 75,000 depending on experience

  • Comprehensive benefits package (car allowance, pension, etc.)

  • Long-term regional role with a strong Bristol base

  • Opportunity to work on high-quality projects with a respected Tier 1 contractor

  • Clear progression and development opportunities
