Description:
Technical Services Manager – Fit-Out
London | £70,000–£80,000 + Travel + Car Allowance
A leading specialist fit-out contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Technical Services Manager to join its growing project delivery team.
The business delivers technically complex Cat A and Cat B fit-out, refurbishment and design & build projects, with a strong focus on fast-track programmes and challenging live environments.
The Role
As Technical Services Manager, you will take responsibility for the MEP delivery of projects from pre-construction through to completion, working closely with the Project Manager, design team, consultants, subcontractors and client.
Key responsibilities will include:
Managing the full MEP delivery across fast-track Cat A and Cat B fit-out projects
Coordinating mechanical, electrical and public health services throughout the project lifecycle
Reviewing and managing MEP design, specifications, drawings and technical submissions
Leading design coordination and ensuring MEP services are fully coordinated with architectural and structural requirements
Managing MEP subcontractors and specialist suppliers through procurement, installation, commissioning and handover
Reviewing technical proposals, shop drawings, RAMS and material submissions
Managing technical queries, RFIs and design changes
Monitoring progress against programme and ensuring MEP works remain aligned with key construction milestones
Working closely with commercial teams on MEP procurement, variations and cost control
Managing commissioning, testing, snagging and final handover of building services
Ensuring works comply with relevant regulations, standards, specifications and project requirements
Supporting the project team with technical problem solving and value engineering
Coordinating services within live and occupied environments where logistics, phasing and minimal disruption are critical
Working closely with clients, consultants and supply chain partners to deliver technically challenging schemes
The type of projects
You will be exposed to a varied portfolio of technically led fit-out and refurbishment projects, including:
Fast-track Cat A and Cat B commercial fit-outs
High-specification office and workplace environments
Complex refurbishment projects within existing buildings
Projects requiring significant MEP upgrades and integration with existing services
Live/occupied buildings where careful phasing and coordination is essential
Project values can range from approximately £1m–£15m+ across the wider portfolio, with the business also delivering larger flagship schemes. The successful candidate will therefore need to be comfortable working in a high-pressure, programme-driven environment where MEP coordination and technical delivery are critical to project success.
The ideal candidate
2+ years’ experience operating at Technical Services Manager level
Strong M&E / building services background
Ideally experienced across both mechanical and electrical services
Proven experience delivering fit-out, refurbishment or technically complex construction projects
Strong understanding of MEP design coordination and construction delivery
Experience managing MEP subcontractors and specialist suppliers
Comfortable reviewing drawings, specifications and technical documentation
Strong knowledge of commissioning, testing and handover
Able to work independently and take ownership of the technical package
Confident dealing with consultants, clients and subcontractors
Comfortable working to demanding programmes and within fast-paced fit-out environments
This is not an Assistant TSM position — the requirement is for someone who can take ownership of the technical services function on their project and operate confidently as part of the wider delivery team.
