Job Description
Assistant Technical Services Manager
Entry-level | Building Services | Major London Projects
Are you working in construction or building services and thinking:
“I want to move into Technical Services… but I don’t have direct experience yet?”
This role is designed for exactly that step. The only MUST is that you have some main contractor experience within construction / fit-out.
My client is looking for an Assistant Technical Services Manager to work directly alongside a Senior Technical Services Manager, learning the role properly while supporting the delivery of high-profile M&E packages across London. The projects you’ll be exposed to you’ll assist on major, complex schemes, including:
* Laboratory fit-out projects within leading London hospitals
* Large commercial developments
* Some of the most recognisable buildings on London’s skyline
This is hands-on exposure to real, technically challenging projects, not a paper-pushing role.
What you’ll be doing (with full support & mentoring)
* Assisting a Senior Technical Services Manager with day-to-day technical delivery
* Supporting M&E design coordination (mechanical & electrical)
* Helping manage technical submittals, RFIs and design queries
* Coordinating drawings, specifications and design changes
* Liaising with consultants, subcontractors and internal site teams
* Learning how Technical Services links design, commercial and construction
You’ll be trained, mentored and developed, with responsibility increasing as your confidence grows.
Ideal background (experience not essential)
You could be:
* A Project Engineer / Graduate Engineer
* A Site Engineer or Supervisor looking to move off site
* From a mechanical or electrical trade wanting a long-term management path
* Educated in Building Services / Engineering / Construction (helpful, not essential)
* No prior Technical Services experience required
* Strong attitude, organisation and willingness to learn are key
Why this role stands out
* Direct mentorship from a Senior TSM
* Exposure to complex healthcare & landmark commercial projects
* Clear progression to Technical Services Manager
* Long-term career path in M&E delivery
