This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced MEP professional to take on a senior leadership role within a growing and innovative consultancy. You'll lead and strengthen existing departments, building the capabilities needed to support future growth and long-term expansion.

Are you an experienced professional with expertise in MEP/M&E and asset condition surveying, looking for a role where you can influence strategy, drive growth, and lead a high-performing team?

With over 30 years of expertise, this built environment consultancy has grown from a specialist CAD provider into a dynamic multidisciplinary practice comprising five dedicated departments. They deliver high-quality services to major NHS trusts, FM providers, universities, housing organisations, cultural institutions, and heritage estates. The firm is recognised for its collaborative culture, exceptional staff retention, and progressive approach to continually enhancing quality, consistency, and client satisfaction.

The Role:

Lead and develop the MEP & M&E Asset Services department
