- A technically qualified engineering professional with significant experience managing MEP, building services, fit-out, infrastructure, and compliance-related projects.
- Minimum 10 years' experience delivering complex engineering projects within critical or highly regulated environments.
- Demonstrable expertise across mechanical, electrical, and public health systems, with the ability to confidently review designs, challenge technical solutions, and make informed engineering decisions.
- Proven track record of delivering projects in live operational environments where business continuity and resilience are paramount.
- Strong working knowledge of statutory compliance requirements, including CDM 2015, Building Safety Act, Building Regulations, and Fire Safety legislation.
- Experience managing multidisciplinary contractors, consultants, and specialist supply chain partners.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence and credibility to engage at all levels from engineers and contractors through to senior client representatives.
