You will also need to be up-to-date on design software as well as regulations and changes in standards. What you'll need to succeedYou will need to have led high-performing teams previously and be adept at both running projects as well as running the commercials on those projects. The team will be growing, so an aptitude for developing staff is a must and instilling company values and standards. This role will be focussed on operationally delivering great customer service and ensuring the business continues growing. You will need to be qualified within Building Services and ideally Chartered within the UK. You must have worked on large UK-based projects and be able to manage a decent sized team of MEP Engineers.What you'll get in returnA competitive salary and package. The company offers a decent profit share at this level and package to include above standard holiday, healthcare and pension contributions. Overall, the package is negotiable and further career development into a true leader of the Building Services industry is a real possibility as the company continues to grow. The package for this position after a year or two will increase significantly.What you need to do nowIf you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call Ben Styles on .If this job isn't quite right for you, but you are looking for a new position, please contact us for a confidential discussion about your career.
