Salter Grange is recruiting on behalf of a leading Tier-1 Main Contractor for an immediate requirement for an experienced Building Services Manager to support a major secure-sector project in the North West.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced BSM to take full ownership of MEP delivery on a complex, highly regulated live operational environment, working closely with the project team, specialist subcontractors and key stakeholders.

* Oversee installation, quality, technical compliance, commissioning and handover activities.
* Manage technical queries, design coordination and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
* Work closely with the Project Manager, commercial team, consultants and client representatives to resolve technical and programme issues.
* Ensure all MEP works comply with relevant specifications, regulations, health & safety requirements and project standards.
* Provide regular progress updates and maintain strong project documentation and reporting.
Building Services Manager Requirements:
* Proven experience as a Building Services Manager, M&E Manager or Senior M&E professional on complex construction projects.
* Strong experience managing MEP subcontractors and delivering projects from installation through to commissioning and handover.
* Current EL1 or SC security clearance is essential.
* Experience working within a secure, government, defence or other highly regulated environment would be advantageous.
* Previous experience working within a live operational environment would be highly beneficial.
* SMSTS and relevant CSCS qualification.
If you're an experienced Building Services Manager with current EL1 or SC clearance and are available for an immediate start, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
