£70,000 – £75,000 + Car Allowance, Bonus & Other Benefits

Manchester

Join as a Building Services Manager (M&E Manager) and play a key role in delivering high-quality MEP solutions across major construction projects in the North West region.

This is an opportunity to be part of a business driven by quality, customer focus, and a commitment to making a positive impact.

What you’ll do:

* Coordinate and integrate mechanical, electrical & public health (MEP) systems in major projects.

* Oversee M&E supply chain partners to deliver works on time, to budget, and to the highest standards.

* Review designs, drawings, technical submissions, and carry out value engineering.

* Monitor compliance with H&S, CDM, and technical requirements.

* Provide on-site support, resolve technical issues, and attend coordination meetings.

* Lead and support commissioning, handover, and close-out of building services packages.

* Based in Oldham with daily travel to sites across the North West.

* Replacement role due to retirement of the current lead; the business is seeking a mid-level BSM rather than a senior hire.

* Oversee installation, commissioning, delivery, O&M documentation, customer demonstrations and handover. (Preconstruction and work winning sit under a separate team – this role is purely operations.)

* Work across multiple projects, maintaining strong relationships with site teams, consultants, and supply chain.

* Feed lessons learnt and performance feedback into preconstruction teams.

What we’re looking for:

What’s on offer:

* Competitive package including enhanced pension, medical cover, life assurance, and bonus scheme.

* Flexible and inclusive working arrangements.
