Technical Services Manager (Mechanical Bias) Up to £90K plus package London THE HOOK You've spent years watching mechanical packages slip. Design delays compound. Subcontractors miss deadlines. But on a £130m flagship project with a team of experienced engineers already embedded on site, you'd have the seniority, the resources, and the runway to actually fix it over several years, not several months. This is the job where your technical judgment stops being second-guessed and starts steering a project that matters. WHY THIS MATTERS Our client is a leading main contractor delivering complex, high-value commercial projects across London. They've built their reputation on technically challenging schemes executed to exceptional standards the kind of work that gets noticed in the industry. The £130m development you'd join is their flagship. It's genuinely long-term. It's genuinely well-resourced. And they've already placed experienced people on site, which means you're walking into a team that knows what it's doing, not a startup where you're teaching everyone else. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY GAIN You'll manage the mechanical package from preconstruction through commissioning and handover, reporting directly to senior project leadership. So what? You'll have real authority over design coordination, quality assurance, and the subcontractor interface which means you're not fighting battles upwards; you're making decisions. Which means the frustration of being overruled disappears. You'll work closely with consultants, design teams, and site management, all of whom respect technical expertise because this business is built on it. So what? Your opinion carries weight. Which means you're not implementing someone else's vision; you're shaping how a major project actually gets delivered. THE REALITY This is a central London-based role. You'll need to commute regularly to site and be within reasonable proximity. It's not a desk job, and it's not remote. WHO THEY ARE Our client is a main contractor known for consistent delivery on technically demanding schemes. They've built long-standing client relationships through strong technical expertise and quality-driven teams. They grow methodically. They keep good people. WHAT YOU NEED Three things: hands-on experience managing mechanical packages on major projects, demonstrable track record in design coordination and subcontractor management, and the ability to work on site in central London. LET'S TALK Contact Sam Taylor: (phone number removed). No recruiter gatekeeping. She'll answer your questions honestly about the project, the team, and whether it's actually right for you.
