About the Opportunity

Our client is a well-established and growing Mechanical Building Services contractor, delivering high-quality HVAC and mechanical solutions across the commercial, industrial, healthcare, education and public sectors throughout the UK.

Due to continued growth and an expanding project portfolio, they are seeking an experienced Technical Head of Projects to join their senior leadership team.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Building Services professional looking to take ownership of the technical delivery of multiple projects while helping shape the future growth and technical direction of a successful business.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Directors, you will provide technical leadership across the business, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on programme and to the highest technical standards. Working closely with Project Managers, Design Engineers, Site Teams and Clients, you will oversee projects from initial concept through to commissioning and final handover. You will be responsible for setting technical standards, supporting project delivery teams, resolving complex engineering challenges and ensuring all projects are delivered in line with client expectations, programme requirements and industry regulations.

This is a strategic leadership position requiring exceptional technical knowledge, commercial awareness and the ability to inspire and develop high-performing teams while maintaining excellent relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners.

The Successful Candidate

The ideal candidate will have an extensive background within Mechanical Building Services and HVAC project delivery, with a proven track record of leading technically demanding projects from pre-construction through to completion.

You will possess strong knowledge of HVAC systems, mechanical installations and design coordination, combined with excellent commercial awareness and experience managing multiple live projects simultaneously. You will be confident providing technical leadership, mentoring Project Managers and Engineers, supporting value engineering initiatives and ensuring quality, compliance and best practice are maintained across every stage of project delivery.

Excellent communication skills are essential, together with the ability to build lasting relationships with clients and consultants, influence project outcomes and provide clear technical direction to both internal teams and external stakeholders. A full UK Driving Licence is required, and qualifications within Mechanical Engineering or Building Services Engineering would be advantageous, although extensive industry experience will be considered equally valuable.
