Recruitment for Construction & Technology

M&E / Technical Services Lead

A technically exposed mandate responsible for coordination, buildability, and commissioning integrity across complex construction programmes.

The Role & Client Context

  • M&E systems form the critical path to completion, not a late-stage add-on
  • Design information is incomplete, evolving, or misaligned with delivery reality
  • Multiple stakeholders influence outcomes – consultants, subcontractors, client teams
  • The Technical Services Lead operates as the point of truth between design intent and site reality

This role exists to prevent technical risk from becoming programme failure.

THE CRITICAL MANDATE

Risk & Focus

  • You will inherit design gaps, late changes, and coordination issues already in motion.
  • Commissioning pressure is real, and programme tolerance is limited.
  • Progress depends on technical judgement, sequencing discipline, and the ability to make decisions without perfect information.

If you rely on design certainty, this will be uncomfortable.
If you are used to creating clarity where none exists, this is familiar ground.

THE LONG-TERM FIT

Growth & Impact

  • Long-term authority over technical strategy and coordination standards
  • Trusted influence across delivery, commercial, and client teams
  • Increasing control over commissioning approach and system integration

This mandate suits technical leaders who prefer ownership over escalation.
