Job Description

Building Services Design Manager

Location - Cheshire

We are a fast-growing Building Services Design & Build contractor looking for a technical and leadership expert to take a pivotal role in shaping our business.

This is not a polished, pre-defined role-you will have the autonomy to build systems, processes, and a high-performing team from the ground up. You will lead our Mechanical & Electrical team through the full lifecycle of design & build projects, ensuring delivery excellence while also driving continuous improvement across the business.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and develop a small team into a high-performing, scalable operation.
  • Oversee design, installations, and project delivery in line with ISO-integrated management systems.
  • Build and implement internal systems and processes to support growth.
  • Drive business development by leveraging your network, strengthening client relationships, and identifying new project opportunities.
  • Mentor and develop engineers, shaping both project outcomes and team capabilities.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience in design work and leading M&E teams.
  • Strong track record in managing installations and delivering projects successfully.
  • Expertise in creating efficient systems and scalable processes.
  • Ambition, drive, and the desire to take on a leadership role with impact.
  • A hands-on approach with the ability to influence and develop others.

This role is challenging, rewarding, and offers a clear path to a future Director position for the right candidate. You will play a key part in shaping both the operational and strategic growth of the business.

RG Setsquare is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
