About You This role could suit someone currently working as an: Electrical Project Manager Building Services Manager Electrical Contracts Manager MEP Design Manager Pre Construction Manager You'll come from an electrical or MEP building services background, with experience leading projects through the pre construction phase. You'll be commercially aware, organised and confident working with clients, consultants and internal stakeholders, with experience in design management, procurement, value engineering, budgeting and project coordination. Experience of PCSA , NEC and JCT contracts would be advantageous. Why Apply? Newly created position with genuine autonomy. Work directly alongside an experienced and supportive leadership team. Opportunity to build and shape a growing pre construction function. Exposure to complex, high-profile projects. Long-term career progression as the business continues to expand. Stable pipeline of secured work. Collaborative culture where ideas and innovation are encouraged. Join a business that invests in people, systems and long-term growth. Security Requirements Due to the nature of the projects undertaken, applicants must be eligible to obtain UK security clearance. In practice, this opportunity is suitable only for British Nationals , as this is a requirement of many of the projects you'll be supporting.
