Senior Technical Services Manager
Permanent
For a contractor who loves D&B, cut & carve, and high end fit-outs

If you're a TSM who has spent years muttering that physically does not fit while designers insist it does…
If you've ever seen a CDP package that made you stare into the middle distance…
If your superpower is spotting a clash from 30 paces and fixing it before anyone else even notices…

Congratulations. You're exactly who this main contractor is waiting for.

The role:
·This isn't a team management scenario. No supervising juniors. No babysitting.
This is an autonomous, senior role where you report directly to the Directors and are trusted - genuinely - to get on with it.
·Responsible for 2 or 3 schemes at a time (£5m - c£20m)
·Design & Build | Cut & carve refurbs | New builds with basements | CAT A/B fit-Outs, all the usual technical carnage
·JCT with CDP - the TSM obstacle course.
·You'll be the technical spine of the project, dipping into pre-con, design, delivery, commissioning, and all the moments where someone whispers, We should probably ask the TSM…

Your day might involve:
·Re-routing ductwork that was drawn by someone who has never seen a ceiling void
·Explaining (again) why the riser can't go there
·Turning MEP mayhem into coordinated calm
·Saving the programme by pointing out a catastrophic clash others thought was fine
·Keeping subbies honest on cost and scope (your sixth sense for silly prices is unmatched)
·Being the project's technical adult - because someone has to be

Who you are:
·A seasoned TSM with real D&B battle scars
·Contract-aware, commercially switched-on, and allergic to BS
·They want someone long-term, not someone counting down to their campervan tour
·Calm, solutions-focused, and able to stop a design meeting from going off the rails
·Someone who laughs when they cry - the true mark of a Technical Services professional

What you get:
·A more than decent salary, with a package that includes proper grown-up benefits (25 days annual leave, travel paid, private pension contribution and healthcare)
·A company where people stay 10-15 years
·Directors who actually listen to technical people (wild, I know)
·Freedom, autonomy, and trust - no micro-management, no nonsense

This role could also be referred to at other businesses as Technical Services Manager, Senior Technical Services Manager, Technical Delivery Manager, MEP Lead, or Design & Build Technical Manager.

If you've ever stood in a riser thinking, I'm the only one here who knows what's going on, then this role will feel suspiciously like home.
