Building Services Manager

Description

Building Services Engineer

Exeter Devon & Somerset Portfolio

100 properties. Huge variety. Real technical autonomy.

Fancy a Building Services role where you're not looking after the same four walls every day?

We're recruiting for an established public-sector organisation looking for an experienced Building Services Engineer to take technical responsibility for M&E services across a diverse estate of approximately 100 properties throughout Devon and Somerset. From operational facilities and workshops to training centres and offices, this is a genuinely varied portfolio offering everything from planned maintenance and statutory compliance through to major M&E upgrades and improvement projects.

The Role

Working alongside the Estates team, you'll become the go-to technical specialist for Mechanical & Electrical building services.

You'll be responsible for:

Managing M&E maintenance, statutory compliance and improvement programmes. Undertaking building inspections, condition surveys and asset assessments. Delivering M&E projects from specification through to completion. Managing specialist contractors, consultants and maintenance providers. Overseeing budgets, procurement, quality and Health & Safety. Identifying opportunities to improve energy efficiency and modernise building systems. About You

We're looking for someone with a strong Mechanical, Electrical or Building Services engineering background, ideally with experience across property maintenance, facilities management or multi-site estates.

You'll understand M&E systems, statutory compliance and contractor management, with the confidence to take ownership of projects and provide practical technical advice.

A relevant engineering qualification would be advantageous, although solid industry experience is equally important.

Why Consider It? Variety: Around 100 buildings with different engineering challenges. Autonomy: Become the technical authority for M&E across the estate. Projects: A genuine mix of maintenance, refurbishment and improvement works. Location: Exeter-based, covering Devon and Somerset. Impact: Help shape future investment, maintenance strategies and energy improvements. If you're looking for a role offering more variety, responsibility and technical freedom, we'd love to hear from you.
