Technical Services Manager
Commercial Fit Out & Refurbishment Projects London

A well-established commercial fit out and refurbishment contractor delivering projects across London and the surrounding regions is looking to appoint a Technical Services Manager to support a growing pipeline of smaller works projects.
The business delivers a broad range of commercial interior refurbishment schemes, and this role will sit within a team focused on fast-paced fit out projects typically ranging from £50k - £1m in value.
This is a key position responsible for managing the technical services / MEP elements of projects from design coordination through to commissioning and handover.
The role would suit someone with a mechanical bias and strong all-round building services knowledge, potentially stepping up from a building services subcontractor background into a main contractor environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the design development, coordination and delivery of building services (MEP) across commercial fit out projects.
• Oversee the installation, commissioning and handover of technical services packages.
• Coordinate with project managers, site teams, subcontractors and consultants to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, building standards and health & safety requirements.
• Identify and resolve technical challenges during design and construction phases.
• Carry out site inspections, progress reviews and quality assurance checks.
• Support procurement activities and value engineering exercises where required.
• Manage the commissioning process and ensure full operational functionality prior to handover.

Candidate Requirements

• Approximately 5-7 years' experience within building services or technical services management.
• Experience working on commercial fit out or refurbishment projects.
• Good working knowledge of mechanical and electrical building services systems, including mechanical plant, electrical services, data/communications, fire protection and associated systems.
• Experience coordinating multiple services packages within a live project environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with project teams and subcontractors.
• Previous main contractor experience is beneficial, although candidates from building services subcontractors will also be considered.

Additional Information

• Projects typically range from £50k - £1m in value, with MEP packages generally between £10k - £200k.
• The role is focused on smaller works and fast-turnaround projects, requiring a proactive and detail-oriented approach.
• This position may suit someone looking to progress from a specialist subcontractor role into a broader technical services management position within a main contracting environment.
