Head of MEP Major Rail Infrastructure Project Birmingham Some MEP roles are about overseeing a package. This one is about leading the delivery of the systems that will make a major new rail facility work. We're working with a joint venture delivering a large train maintenance depot and operational control centre in Birmingham. The scheme brings together complex buildings, specialist depot equipment and railway systems. They need a Head of MEP who can take ownership from design development through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. You'll lead the MEP team and specialist supply chain, working closely with the project leadership, designers and client. A big part of the job will be getting ahead of the interfaces: making sure the building services are properly coordinated with the depot's operational equipment, that designs can be built and maintained, and that completed systems work together when it comes time to commission the facility. The role will involve: Setting the MEP delivery strategy across the depot buildings and control centre. Leading design reviews, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning. Managing specialist contractors, programme risks, quality and commercial performance. Resolving interfaces with structures, civil, depot equipment and railway systems. Building and leading a capable MEP management team. Working with senior stakeholders to deliver a facility that is ready for long-term operation. We'd like to speak with people currently operating as a Head of MEP, MEP Director, Building Services Director or M&E Project Director on a major infrastructure or technically demanding construction scheme. Rail depot or station experience would be particularly valuable. We'd also consider someone from an airport, data centre, hospital or industrial project if they have led substantial MEP works through integrated commissioning and handover. You'll need the technical grounding to challenge decisions, but this is ultimately a senior delivery and leadership role. If you've led MEP on a project where the systems had to perform as one operational asset, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Yolk Recruitment is partnering exclusively with Coleg y Cymoedd to recruit a Head of Estates, a key leadership appointment with the opportunity to influence how one of South Wales' largest further education estates is managed and developed. Coleg y Cymoedd is looking for an experienced estates professional who can combine strong operational knowledge with the ability to think longer term. The College wants to move further away from a historically reactive approach to maintenance, developing more structured planned preventative maintenance, stronger asset management and better use of estates data. Operating across Nantgarw, Ystrad Mynach, Llwynypia and Aberdare, you'll be working with a varied estate, from the modern Aberdare campus, opened following a £28m investment, through to larger and more established sites requiring ongoing maintenance and investment. The opportunity Initially, the position will have a relatively even balance between operational and strategic responsibilities. As the estates function develops, the intention is for the role to become increasingly strategic. You'll have the opportunity to: Develop and embed a more structured Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) approach across the estate. Improve the College's use of Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) systems and the quality of its asset information. Develop longer-term estate and asset management planning. Lead estates activity across a complex multi-site environment. Drive greater consistency in standards and ways of working across the four campuses. Manage estates budgets, contractors and suppliers. Contribute to procurement and investment decisions. Oversee and support capital projects and future estates investment. Work collaboratively across the College to ensure the estate continues to support staff, learners and the wider organisation. There is also a significant people element to the role. The estates function has evolved through previous college mergers, creating different practices and established ways of working across campuses. The successful person will need to bring people with them rather than simply impose change. Who are we looking for? Experienced estates and facilities professionals who have operated across a large, complex or multi-site property portfolio. Degree-level qualification (or equivalent professional experience) in a relevant discipline such as estates and facilities management, building services, surveying, or construction. Recognised professional qualification in facilities or estates management (e.g. IWFM Level 5 or above, RICS, BIFM, CIBSE, MCIOB). IOSH Managing Safely as a minimum; NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent. Demonstrable experience of planning, delivering and monitoring planned preventative maintenance and reactive maintenance programmes across multiple buildings. Experience of using CAFM systems and improving estates data. Experience of budget management. Track record of contractor and supplier management. Proven experience of managing statutory compliance, including fire safety, asbestos, legionella/ water hygiene, gas, electrical, lift and pressure systems, and CDM. Experience of leading teams through change. We're looking for someone genuine, honest and credible who communicates well, builds relationships and can challenge constructively when things need to change. You'll need to be comfortable working with long-serving teams, balancing a supportive approach with accountability, and bringing different groups of people together around consistent standards and priorities. Benefits Local Government Pension Scheme Generous annual leave - 37 bookable days, plus bank holidays Flexible working arrangements. Salary sacrifice vehicle scheme. Pool vehicle available for use if preferred. 55p per mile mileage allowance for travel between campuses in your own vehicle. Employee wellbeing initiatives.
